Why Am I Having Bright Red Blood In Stool Along With Pain In The Left Hip Joint Area And Lower Left Abdomen?
Question: I have bright red blood in my poop and left hip joint pain, combined with light pain in my lower left abdomen about 6 inches above my left hip. Is this something to be alarmed about?
Brief Answer:
This is alarming.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Blood in stool recently with pain in left hip joint area and left lower abdomen can have a serious reason.
There can be severe colitis or a mass in the left colon.
Hence I would advise you the following:
-Needs a clinical evaluation by your Doctor, preferably by a General Surgeon.
-Needs CT scan of abdomen & Hip joint area and colonoscopy as early as possible to know the exact cause.
-Tests of stool, blood and urine.
All these can lead to a proper diagnosis at the earliest.
Awaiting to get these done and give me the feedback.
Take care.
