Suggest Treatment For Bloating And Abdominal Pain

My stomach is constantly hard and bloated. I also have pain with it that runs from the top of the abdomen down to the lower part. I have soft to loose stools and at times have blood in the toilet and when I wipe. What could this be and what are some things I can do to help the problem?

Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.

The blood in stool can be due to haemarrhoids , rectal ulcers , or inflammatory bowel disease - to name a few.

Do not worry.

I would suggest you to -
- Have a diet rich in fibres
- Drink loads of water
- Avoid straining during stool
- I would also start tablet Pantoprazole to prevent bloating
- Toilet training - Avoid spending a lot of time in the toilet
- I would suggest you to get a complete hemogram done.
- I would also suggest you to get an abdominal ultrasound and a colonoscopy done. It can certainly help to delineate the exact cause.


I would suggest you to visit a gastroenterologist. He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.

Hope this helps.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
