Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Pain
Question: what does it mean when you have mucus in your bowel movements and have abdominal pain?
Brief Answer:
Hello. It could be irritable bowel syndrome
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Irritable bowel syndrome can cause these symptoms, but a bacterial colitis or pancreatitis can also do that. You need to see a doctor for blood work, an exam, and a ct scan of your abdomen. Irritable bowel syndrome can be treated with medications like Levsin or Bentyl. Bacterial colitis would require a course of oral antibiotics.
Please let me know if you need any more information
