Ive Had Some Pains For A Few Weeks Or So
Question: Ive had some pains for a few weeks or so my stomach. They found 2 ventral hernias
along the scar wall of a big stomach surgical scar an one umbilical by my belly button Umbilical by belly button. All tests like urine, ct scan, bloodwork and xrays came back looking good beside a few swollen lymph nodes but they were not concerned. Im seeing a dr Monday the 30th and a GI Dr in 2 weeks. I have had occasion blood in my stool. I was just very constipated Sunday and Monday this week. I took some stool softeners each night since Sunday night but my recent bowel movement I noticed what looked like some pink and red chunks in my stool which I have seen another 1 or 2 times over the last month. I hope that's not an emergency. I had a picture if a little if it that I pulled out on toilet paper. The pain over the last month has not been constant. Hoping for some answers

The pi k and red chunks almost looked like ground beef or something. I wasn't sure if it was something to be concerned with. I ate a lot of carrots today at Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe that?
