What Causes Painful Bowel Movements With Blood In Stool?

default
Posted on Tue, 16 Aug 2016
Question: I have had 2 bouts of painful bowel movements. Both times, I felt a cramping pain in my abdominal first that would last about 10 to 15 seconds. Then no pain for about 10 minutes. Then the same cramping pain a little lower lasting 10 to 15 seconds. Then no pain for another 10 minutes or less. This would go on for about an hour before I finally had a bowel movement. It was dark and pasty. Not a hard stool at all and I am prone to diarrhea mores than constipation. The only way I can explain the overall painful episode was it was like labor pains. I had the second episode last night but this morning I felt like I had a loose stool only to find fresh blood in the commode but no stool.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like infection of Gastrointestinal tract.It is due to ingestion of contaminated food or water.Blood in the loose stool is due to Dysentery.
I prescribe Antibiotic like Levofloxacin 250mg twice daily for 5 days, Pre and probiotic capsule twice daily for 5 days, Oral rehydration solution thrice daily to my patients with similar complaints.
Consult your doctor, get examined clinically and get appropriate prescription.
Please avoid outside food.
Nothing to worry. It will come down.
