What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain And Bloody Stool?
My daughter is having severe abdominal pain and her stool was red and bloody, now it just has blood around her stool. It just started yesterday and she is very worried. What should I tell her? She lives 4 hours away from me and she is only 20 year old.

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to inflammatory bowel disease, gastroenteritis, diverticulitis, intestinal obstruction.
I would suggest to consult gastroenterologist as early as possible and undergo clinical examination, stool tests, routine blood tests,USG scan colonoscopy to confirm cause.
Specific treatment depend on cause
Tablet meftal spas for pain
Prescribed antibiotic
Drink plenty of warm water and take soft diet
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
