What Causes Rectal Bleeding With No Bowel Movements?

You are right, consult Infectious Disease Doctor..
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
I have gone through your medical history and feel sorry for the situation you are in.
If you have had rectal bleeding and no bowel movement, that makes me think that you are having :
- hemorrhoids (external or internal)
- ulcerative colitis (but in this case would have diarrhea with mucus and blood)
- bowel infection other than ulcerative colitis (acute infection)
At this case, you are right, you should see an infectious disease specialist to rule out bowel or other infections. Gastroenterologist should be also consulted to rule out other GI problems.
Next, as your white blood cells are always high, that means that there is a site of infection inside your body. The infectious disease specialist will help on that.
I also suggest to run the following tests:
- examination of stool for ova/parasites
- culture of stool for bacteria/candida
- colonoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- urine analysis
to evaluate your health condition further. Depending on the tests results specific treatment will be prescribed.
If you were listed as acute abdominal pain, then, you have your own right to ask: "WHAT IS CAUSING IT?" :
- is it infection?
- is it constipation?
- is it any other bowel problem?
- is it from your urinary tract?
You are right, you should have the answer to "what is causing acute abdominal pain" by your doctors. You should have patience as there are some lab tests that need time to get their results.
Hope it was of help! Let me know if you need further clarifications!

Yes..
Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,
An infectious disease specialist will help you find out/exclude infectious diseases such as intestinal parasites or others. That's why I encourage to discuss with him/her about your problems.
Next, the Ct-scan you had showed no damages to your head. So, you can have a Pet Scan to make you feel at peace at least, that nothing worrisome is happening to you.
If PET Scan will show nothing, then, just go ahead and treat the parasites with your doctor. Hopefully, your problems will come to an end and will be resolved successfully.
All the best my dear!
