Hello everyone....
I just thought I’d post and see what people might have to say.
I’m a 31 year old male and I’ve been concerned about my GI area lately. For the last few weeks, I haven’t been able to produce a solid stool. I’ve seen blood in my stools in the past. I went to the doctor last week and he took several abdominal x-rays, he said that he didn’t notice any abnormalities in the x-ray with the exception that I had A lot of stool. I was constipated, he gave me a laxative which I used for 2 weeks and I went to the restroom a lot, the same problem persists that I can’t produce a normal stool. It’s all watery or diarrea. I have some very mild abdominal pain “ I’d say a 2 out of 10” and I usually notice this pain when I’m sitting down in a chair.
I went to the doctor yesterday and it was a different physician. She reviewed my chart, prescribed me some bentyl for the pain, and took blood work. I’m currently waiting on the results of the labs.
What do you guys think I should do? I know that it’s most likely hemorrhoids because I don’t have a family history of colorectal cancer and I’m pretty young, but it’s not smart to assume. I go to the doctor again on Wednesday but it’s a new provider, I left my other doctor because he and his office were not up to par. Thanks for any and all input. You could ask me questions if you want and I’ll reply.
