Suggest Remedy For Sharp Stabbing Pain In Abdomen
I am concerned as I have had sharp stabbing pain for the last week or so all through my abdomen and and pelvic area. About 3 weeks ago I had diarrhea for several days that went away and came back for a few days about a week later. This week I have been somewhat constipated but not with hard stool. I typically have a bowel movement daily sometimes twice. This week I have only had 3 and my last one had dark spots throughout about the size of a dime. Could this be blood and related to a major problem?

Hi,
For dealing with constipation increase your daily water intake. Secondly if you are suspecting any blood in your stools can be due ti various reasons such as peptic ulcers, diverticular disease or anal fissures. Immediately start with anti inflammatory drugs and see if that subsides and if not go for an occult test for stool as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
