Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Blood In Stools
Hi, I have been passing alot of blood n my stools the last few days with large dark blood clots. It have happened om occasion over the last four months but the amount today frightened me! I have suffered with constipation for three to four years. Had an endoscopy last summer all clear! Since January I have rarely passed a fully formed stool. When I do they are often frothy in texture and stink of metal. Lately I find myself dehydrated and fatigued alot . after passing a stool I am often I m agony or feeling like I am burning and the urge to go remains for some time. I am 30 130pounds and eat healthy as well as daily exercise. Maternal Uncle had bowel cancer and mother has colitis. Have not gone to a doctor because over the last number of years I get fobbed off with the eat health exercise story everytime and leave feeling like I am crazy!
HI Well come to HCM, I really appreciate your concern, if this the profuse bleeding per rectum (Melena) it is the serious condition and demands the several investigation it may be anything right from the fissure, hemorrhoids, infection, malignancy, instead of getting worry better to go for complete investigations that includes Barium studies, CT or MRI imaging, stool examination, routine blood test, hope this information helps.
