Had Stomach Virus, Severe Diarrhea, Vomiting, Weakness, Blood In Urine. Suggest?
I had a stomach virus about ten days ago during which time I experienced severed diarrhea and vomiting that lasted a couple of hours. I probably passed about two gallons of diarrhea in addition to the vomiting. The next day, I felt better but was very weak. Since that time I have experienced a lot of gas and some difficulty with normal bowel movements. Today, there was bright red blood in the toilet without any bowel movement. The second time I went to urinate, there was again bright red blood in the toilet and a blood clot, but no bowel movement.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
10 days back you suffered with diarrhea & vomiting and there was plenty of loose motions .
Now according to you there is weakness , this is natural thing as huge amount of potassium and sodium passes so patient feels pain in legs and general weakness.
Now 2nd complain is loss of blood and clots , may be due to ,
1 Ulcer in large intestine ( as you complaining fresh blood) so confirmation can be done by colonoscopy .
2 Due to hemorrhoid so consult a surgeon and get his opinion as physical examination is very important. As due to regular loose motion and due to strain few patient develops hemorrhoids .
Don't get any stress or strain for bowel movement as this will produces further complications.
Good luck.
