Avatar m tn 4. Appendicitis goes with nausea, vomiting and raised leukocytes in the blood. Appendicitis is painfull at any time you press on area. Bouncing sign is present: lye down on the back and press deeply sopmewhere on your lower LEFT abdomen, then release the pressure quickly. In peritonitis or appendicitis you should feel a sharp pain on the LRQ area. Peritonitis would also show marked inflammation in the blood.
Avatar m tn m passing stool okay, no pain or burning with urination, no blood in my stool or urine (that I can tell anyway), no nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, although I believe I was mildly constipated within this time. What I'd like to know is what exactly could be seen on my X-ray? What would the doctor be looking for? Because my big concern now is a tumor or cancer of some type. If this were the case, would it show up on my X-ray or in my blood and/or urine?
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with hemorrhoids so seeing blood in my stool was not that shocking, what was shocking was that it was a lot more blood than usual. After that my stomach started hurt badly like cramps and a couple of hours later it become notable in the belly button area. The pain feels like it is deep in my stomach and it is constant, I am very bloated and burp all the time. It is worse during the morning and night. I have no appetite because I feel so full all the time.
Avatar n tn t be concerned about tumors. Also in the past, I have managed to get very backed up and full of stool even though I was having a bowel movement every day. I don't know exactly what it is but because your pain is so localized, you might want to talk to your doctor about a ct scan if this continues. Sorry I can't tell you what it is exactly.
Avatar f tn The only thing they said and showed me was solid white spots in my stool. The doctor was as baffled as I am as to what it could be. He asked me if I have eaten any solid matter, confused, I asked him "like what"? He said bones? Of course I haven't eaten bones. Told me to take miralax 2 times a day and sent me home. The pain has gotten much better but still hurts mildly. I'm happy to know it wasn't either of my diagnosis but what could it be?
Avatar n tn My 18yr old daughter often has stomach problems. 2 years ago. She was admitted for a severe lower abdomen pain. She was tested for appendicitis, possible fibroids, cysts, etc. all of which turned out negative. After an overnight stay, she was discharged without any diagnosis. Eversince then, she has gained weight tremendously (about 15lbs heavier now). And she often has tiny white worms in her stool. After some over-the-counter de-worm medication, she recovered.
Avatar m tn Conditions of the anus and rectum such as anal fissures (tears or cracks), anal fistulas (abnormal holes or tubes between organs or tissues), and rectal ulcers can also cause mucus in the stool. In such cases, the stool may appear normal or may be bloody. Pain with passing stool may become significant enough that you avoid bowel movements, which can lead to constipation and possible fecal impaction.
Avatar f tn Hi, About a month or two ago, I believe I had strained some muscles while working out. The pain didn't happen right away maybe one or two weeks afterwards. At first it stemmed from my neck, shoulders, and upper back. Soon after I started to feel pain in my chest, both sides right by my armpits, lower back, and abdomen area especially on my right side. The pain is usually sharp. When I do sit for a long period of time, both my right and left sides hurt but more on my right.
Avatar m tn You could also have gastrointestinal issues where you should see a specialist and ask them about it. I agree it could be stool buildup or a tear in you intestines. If you don't mind me asking are you gay? If so I might stop having intercourse for a while to see if your symptoms improve. Lastly you could try a diahretic (spelled wrong I know) or laxitive to try to clear your system completely of stool to see if your pain improves.
Avatar f tn About two years ago i was diagnosed with an ovulation problem called mittle schmertz. There is nothing you can do to help it, but it would cause sharp pain in the lower right side of my abdomen when i was ovulating. I was doing okay and then forgot about it until April, when i was having this pain so sharply that i could barely stand up. Thinking it was appendicitis, my mom took me to the emergency room where they took blood tests and did a cat scan on me.
Avatar n tn t persist with the vomiting or had diarrea. In ER Abdominal XRAY was done- results large amount of stool and gas on right side. Blood work checked- Mono and crp slightly evalated ( not enough for them to say appendicitis). they gave a popsicle to him that caused him to have increased painin RLQ. They were still concerned with the pain in right lower quad so a CT was done-results apendix stone.
Avatar m tn s sharp, sometimes it dull, bloating mucus in stool, pain with or after intercourse, trapped gas or stool in the appendix area will double you over. WBC's will be somewhere from 9-11, not high enough to indicate an acute form of appendicitis but a chronic form of it.
Avatar n tn My bowel movements seem pretty normal. Any loose stool or constipation resolves itself in a day. I do have hemorrhoids from giving birth to my kids. They never really bother me( a little itchy sometimes) so I have opted not to have them surgically removed. So I do occasionally have some bright red blood when wiping but was told that was the hemorrhoids. I dont know what to think now. I truly thought it was kidney pain and all related to that. But the tests seem to becoming up negative.
Avatar m tn When I eventually reached out for help in early September I was rushed to the E.R. for a possible appendicitis. The CT Scan in the E.R. showed that I had borderline appendicitis due to the appendicitis not filling with the contrast fully and the mesenteric lymph nodes of the area being “shoddy”. I was given Cipro and Flagyl for two weeks to see if that would fight the infection. After an ultrasound, they found my appendix healed completely.
Avatar m tn The pain may not be related to the liver. Pain in the lower right quadrant can be due to appendicitis. The other symptoms for Appendicitis are fever, nausea, vomiting and malaise. It may not be picked up by imaging modalities. The other causes for pain could be urinary tract infection, renal colic and sometimes bowel infections. It could also be due to diverticulitis, Chron's disease, ulcerative colitis and parasitic infections.
1927233 tn?1326670387 I was in the hospital the past couple of days because they thought I might have appendicitis, but ultrasounds and CT scans were normal except some free flluid so they said I had a virus in my intestines (???). I had something similar a year ago when I was in Bolivia, they said it should pass on its own but to report back if things got worse.
Avatar m tn Several years ago, I ate contaminated food, with e-coli, which gave me problems in the intestine. I binge drink once every month, sometimes I will go party once every 15 days, when I get bored. For a few years, I have been experiencing GERD, abdomen swelling, diarreah, and painful cramps in my lower abdomen, symptoms which become more present after drinking. I get pain about an inch down from my belly button, and to the right.
Avatar m tn t necessarily rule out appendix issues either - The symptoms of appendicitis can vary. It can be hard to diagnose appendicitis in young children, the elderly, and women of childbearing age. The first symptom is often pain around your belly button. (See: Abdominal pain) The pain may be minor at first, but it becomes more sharp and severe. Your appetite will be reduced and you may have nausea, vomiting, and a low fever.
Avatar n tn ve been experiencing stomach pain and spasms, particularly in the upper left abdomin (right under the heart), and had been on and off experiencing mucusy stool and bouts of polyuria. In the meantime I had been in and out of the ER, for hours at a time, a lot because of a sick friend. I had also a few weeks ago once took motrin and tylenol for headaches.
Avatar f tn I have been told that you need to worry if you see blood in your stool, versus on your stool. If the blood is in your stool, you should get checked out. I know that after tearing my rectum from hard stool, I can still bleed afterwards when my stool softens. Sorry if this is tmi.
Avatar m tn Hello and welcome to Medhelp forums. Blood in bowel movements is always frightening. When you have Crohn's Disease, blood stool is a reason to see your doctor. It's also a change in your symptoms. Therefore, we really advise you to see your doctor as soon as possible to discuss this. It has been a few days, so have you see your doctor as of yet? Here is some general information about Chron's Disease https://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar n tn Her pediatrician and ER doctor did order stool test and blood cultures. Stool test turned out to be negative and we are still waiting for some of the blood cultures results. As you mentioned, my daughter had a much more thorough ultrasound this afternoon in the entire abdomen area. All seems good. Up until 5:00pm this afternoon (Monday), she was in high fever above 103, persistent abdominal pain and looked very tired.
671285 tn?1292660161 After a night of going through my closet, I noticed some pain in my lower right abdomen accompanied by pain in my leg. I went to the washroom and made a healthy stool. The next day, I had some discomfort in the same area but the leg pain was gone. I spent the day feeling like I had to use the washroom but I was constipated. I made two stools but felt like it wasn't enough. The pain persists but has not gotten stronger. I took a laxative which helped clean my system.
Avatar n tn About 10 days ago I started having really sharp pains (sort've crampy) in my lower abdomen (right above pubic area and also felt in rear) that seems to occur sporatically. It doesn't seem to be caused or relieved by eating, going to the bathroom, etc.
Avatar f tn Hi, i am 22 years old, male. I saw blood in my stool about 2 weeks ago. The blood sometimes fall in lining with stool while sometimes it falls in large amount with no stool, sometimes it falls like a spray when i apply pressure to defaecate. It started with a diarrhea, i had loose stool and blood in it. I saw a doctor and doctor gave medicine and told if the blood stops with the dysentry, then it is a water-borne bacterial infection otherwise it could be something else.
Avatar f tn If you have blood in your stool it will usually be very black or you could actually pass red blood...If you are having any stomach pain that you cant explain then you should probably let your dr. check you. One thing to remember if you have been taking pepto bismol or any antacid then it usually will turn your stools black....Something in the medicine causes it to turn colors...If that is the case then stop taking them for a week and see if your stools clear up....But i would still call the DR..
414635 tn?1272217693 Blood in stool is a pretty serious thing... I would definitely call the doctor immediately. Are you feeding him solids yet? If so, prunes REALLY help constipated babies, so does applesauce. Also you can try infant belly massages- you can find tutorials online- they can help loosen his stool. Good luck- keep us updated!
Avatar f tn I did have a little diarrhea but that is because I made myself so upset over this. No fever, nausea, vomiting. No blood in stool. No UTI - that was checked. Soreness for the most part comes and goes but seems to always slightly be there now. Please help me with ideas. I am scared and have a big event next weekend - I'm afraid of something happening while we are away.
Avatar n tn today makes it 7 days since my daughter give birth and she said whenever she stool or use the bathroom there is blood in her stool , she has no pain or discomfort just that when she wipes she sees blood and when she stool the water has a bloody look. What you think might be the problem?
Avatar f tn During this time I noticed blood in my stool and went to a clinic. I had blood work done and gave a stool sample. These tests have since come back within normal ranges and I feel well again with no signs of blood in my stool now. I am a 37 year old female with no previous history of blood in my stool. Also, there was no pain in the rectum area or straining during bowel movements. The blood in my stool scared me.
