Stomach Irritation, Started Post Sit Ups, Have Green Stools Occasionally, Takes A Long Time To Pass Stools. What Damage Could Have Occurred?
Hi my name is julian and i just want to know if i should be worried because my stomache has been hurting not terribly bad or anything it is just irritated i guess, and it all started when i did sit ups about two weeks ago the feeling gets better then worse then better then worse again. My stools are sometimes green they where really dark one time, and now they are normal again but my stomache still feels strange and it takes me forever to pass a stool. what the heck did i do to myself?
Welcome to Healthcare Magic,
Dark , green stools may result from presence of bile, blood, or food ( licorice, ingestion of lead, iron, bismuth ). You need stool analysis and liver function test that will clarify. Additionally you need Endoscopy to examine your stomach and duodenum ( in case of erosion there can be present small amount of blood that can cause dark coloration of your stools ). In such case you may seek Gastroenterologist consultation and request above mentioned tests that will help understand your condition, find cause and accordingly will be more easy choose treatment.
I wish you good luck and speedy recovery,
Hope this helps and I have answered your query.
Best Regards,
Dr.Mihail
