Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Skinny Stools, Passing Wind With Blood And Mucous In It And Gassy Feeling In The Stomach?
Hi, for the last 6 weeks I have had problems going to the toilet but when I do go the stools are very skinny and feels like I've got a blockage. A lot of the time I feel the urge to go but all I do is pass wind which has a lot of blood and mucus in it. I have no pain or cramping, or IBS symptoms, only sometimes a slightly bubbly gassy feeling in my stomach. I have no obvious piles but I feel there is a pressure. I have been to my GP but had no real answer or help as to what could be the problem.
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Presence of blood in stools without associated pain is likely to be due to infective or inflammatory pathology of the colon. As local anal and rectal lesion like piles and fissure have been ruled out by your gp. i would suggest the following 1. Stool examination: Stool microscopy examination for ova and cyst to rule out amoebiasis and other infective pathology 2. Trial of antibiotics: Combination of Ciprofloxacin + Tinidazole will be highly beneficial for amoebic colitis 3. If the bleeding persists inspite of antibiotic, Colonoscopy is indicated
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
