Is Swollen Stomach And Blood In Stool Sign Of Cancer?

Mu tummy is hard and appears to be swollen above my waist the flesh on that part of my body is sometimes mottled with a bluish tinge. I passed blood in my stools last year and had tests done and I was diagnosed with having Diverticulitis. Do you think that the present symtoms could be related to Cancer. Thank you for your help.

Welcome to H.C.M. I am Dr Krishna Dubey.
My pleasure to help you.

My dear friend , if your consult doctor already made a diagnosis of diverticulitis and your symptoms improved then your doctor is in right direction.

Second thing is that your present symptoms is also favoring your diagnosis of diverticulitis.
In diverticulitis abdominal tenderness usually on the lower left side is common symptom.

Now you should approach your doctor to find out infection in your diverticula.

Your doctor might also order a computed tomography (CT) scan.

When you feel such symptoms you should always do a bed rest and start a liquid diet to allow your diverticula to heal.

Thanx for query.
