What Causes Rectal Bleeding And Stomach Pain?
Question: I just found out that I have rectal bleeding, is it serious knowing that my colon and stomach has been hurting for 10 years
Brief Answer:
Inflammatory bowel disease
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Pain abdomen lasting for 10 years followed by a rectal bleeding could mean that you might be having inflammatory bowel disease. I strongly suggest you to do the following
1. Approach a gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy and a biopsy of the colon as soon as possible, without further delay
2. Avoid constipation and straining. Follow a high fiber diet with full of vegetables and fruits
3. Avoid milk and milk products
4. Avoid smoking and alcohol.
It is a serious issue which needs to be addressed and treatment needs to be started immediately.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
