What Could Bloody Stools With Stomach Cramps Suggest?
I have woken up with severe stomach cramps. After a trip to the loo for a number 2 i noticed blood on wiping. Over the last 3 hours i have been again little and often and have been wiping blood each time. I have also been a bit sick but only bile. Any idea's?? Thanks
Severe stomach cramps along with blood on wiping is most probably indicative of an intestinal infection, particularly colitis.
This can be diagnosed by clinical evaluation by your Doctor, watch for per-rectal examination to see for any fissure or piles that are bleeding. Tests of stool and blood can be done.
A proper course of an antibiotic active against intestinal infection, metronidazole and probiotics should help you. Take plenty of oral fluids to keep well hydrated and take electrolyte solution.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. T Chandrakant
