bowel movement problems, stomach gets bigger, blood in stool Posted: 09-07-07 23:49pm
for the past month i have been having
bowel trouble. I noticed a little bit of
blood in my stool. I however ignored it,
having 2 children i thought it was maybe a
hemmoroid. By the way im 26. Fast forward
to about a week ago I noticed the blood
had became more and more, its bright red.
My stomach is blown up as if im pregnant
(tubes are burned). My kidneys ache and my
stomach from the belly button up gets
sharp pains through it. My stools are
small ribbon like. Gradually it is getting
harder to breathe, the bigger my stomach
gets. I have a bowel movement about once a
week now, versus the normal 2 times a day
routine. And to even have this one bowel
movement, I have been trying stool
softeners, laxatives, herbal laxative
teas...NOTHING helps. I went to the doctor
yesterday. He really didnt do a whole lot
to check the problem, I have a colonoscopy
appointment tuesday of next week HOWEVER,
its the just consultation. So Im not even
sure when this procedure will even be
done. My concern is here, my husband keeps
pressuring me to go to the hospital. My
stomach is bigger then it was yesterday.
What should i do? Can anyone give me an
idea as to what this may be? Should I wait
for my appointment next week or seek
medical attention now?

Hi!
Sorry for a delay post! I hope you've
already seen a doctor. If you haven't I'll
suggest you to go to the hospital and you
can request an urgent colonoscopy.
It's the only way to see if something is
blocking you passages because you are
having symptoms that refer to that
condition (bloating, distention, abdominal
pain,bleeding)
Have you lost your appetite? Do you feel
nauseous? Do you feel more bloated after
eating?
