Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
You might see blood mixed with stool or blood at the end of passage of stool and even dark or black stools. Bright red blood usually indicates bleeding that's low in either colon, rectum or anus. Dark red or maroon blood indicates bleeding that's higher in the colon or small intestine. Dark stools indicate that bleeding from stomach most probably an ulcer. Sometimes, you may observe loose stools mixed with streaks of blood which is seen in infections like dysentry.

View allI've been dealing with this weird feeling where my stomach always feels full, and I'm having shortness of breath. It's almost like there's something in my chest making it hard for it to relax and contract properly. Plus, my weight keeps going up and down really quickly for no apparent reason. Any idea what's going on?

I've had stage 3 hemorrhoids and SRUS diagnosed by colonoscopy back in August 2019. They weren't painful before but for the past month, I've been getting sharp stabbing pains during bowel movements and even at rest. Oxerutin isn't helping much. Should I get another colonoscopy to check on the hemorrhoids and SRUS or try natural remedies first? Also, is it safe to split the Oxerutin pill into thirds since I can't swallow it whole?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm 27 and just had a test today because my stomach hasn't been feeling right. I've been having a hard time with it and it feels kind of like dysentery. What could be going on with my stomach?
At 27, experiencing persistent stomach issues and a dysentery-like feeling can be concerning. Its likely an infection or irritation in the gut. Stay hydrated, avoid heavy foods, and consult for a stool test or antibiotics if symptoms worsen. Take care!
