Hi thanks for asking question.

If along with abdomen pain and diarrhea blood also present in stool then inflammatory bowel disease has to be ruled out by colonoscopy.

Second you have fever and weight loss so tuberculosis of intestine has to ruled out by colonoscopy and subsequent biopsy.

Stool examination done .If show pus cells bacterial infection might be cause and it is treated with antibiotic.

Colonoscopy may reveal any mass in intestine .If present biopsy taken for tumour diagnosis.

Take care and consult surgeon for colonoscopy ..

Good luck.
