Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some enlarged lymphnode. It may be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. It will give you exact diagnosis.
You have blood is stool. You should go for ultrasound abdomen for that. You may have peptic ulcer, piles or cancer.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
