Had Major Stomach Pain And Had Diarrhea. Noticed Blood In Stools. What Can This Be?

Thank you for the query.
I have read your medical history and from that I noticed about the past history of ulcerative colitis. Long term effect of that disease without treatment will lead to the symptoms that you are facing right now.
I advice you consult your gastroenterologist for this. I think you need a colonoscopy to check for progression of the disease.
Early detection may help you to prevent other serious problems like colon cancer. Treatment can be based on the evaluation finding. If symptomatic treatment doesn't show more effect; drugs like corticosteroids, sulfasalazine and iron supplementation may be needed. Surgery is the treatment of choice in some cases.
Hope I have answered your query. You are welcome for follow-up questions.
WISH YOU A GOOD HEALTH.
Regards,
DR.ALEKHYA.
