Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should consult your doctor or go to the nearest medical center for complete clinical and laboratory assessment such as :
1- Complete physical examination.
2- Stool analysis.
3- Complete blood count and other routine tests.
4- Endoscopy.
5- Ultrasound or CT scan of the abdomen.
Treatment depends upon the cause, so it's very important to do the previous tests.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Take care.
