Having Troubled Urine. Difficult Bowel Movements With Blood. Feel Light Headed. Feeling Pain In Rectum. Suggestions?

I'am having trouble urinating and my bowels don't seem to work. when i could go sometimes it would be diarea and other times it was a pencil like stool and once with blood. I feel slightly light headed with kind of a spacey feeling, almost like i'am on drugs but am not. I feel terrible. The other night I woke up feeling some pain near the rectum and feel like i'am going to explode inside.

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Diarrhea, pencil like stools, blood in stool are very serious symptoms which can indicate colon cancer. It is more possible if you are older than 50. Please note that over the age of 50, the risk of colon cancer significantly increases. Weakness seems to be caused by low hemoglobin level due to blood loss.
Rectal pain can be cause by a cancer as well. Other possible pain source is anal fissure or hemorrhoids.

I suggest you to do not wait with your symptoms and visit your doctor as soon as possible. Colonoscopy should be done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
