Stomach pain accompanied by stool is a sign of what disease?

Question
Hello doctor,
1 month ago, I had a stomach ache and had a bowel movement, took acid-suppressing drugs, the symptoms decreased but did not go away completely. I've been taking medication for the past few days. So the doctor asked me if stomach pain accompanied by stool is a sign of what disease? Can I go to the endoscopy to check HP or do I have to wait 2 weeks without taking medicine, then go to the doctor? Thank you.

Hello,
With the question “What is the symptom of stomach pain accompanied by bowel movements? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
In case you have taken medicine to reduce gastric acid secretion, the endoscopy can still be conducted, but the test results for HP bacteria may be affected (cause false negative) so if in case of an increase in abdominal pain, you still need to go to the doctor, and in case you want a colonoscopy, you can do it again after 2 weeks.
If you still have questions about stomach pain accompanied by diarrhea, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
