Question
Hello doctor,
I have a foul-smelling stool like fish sauce, sometimes a dull pain in the abdomen below the navel. I had 2 ultrasounds, blood tests to see if there was an intestinal infection. The result is negative, has HP, has been treated for HP, only relieves abdominal pain, but the stool is still foul. When I am constipated, when the stool is loose, sometimes the stool has a little mucus, a little blood.
I have a history of gastritis, had external hemorrhoids, had surgery, had recurrence of internal hemorrhoids, had treated hemorrhoids, sometimes had boils, had rectal polyps in 2018 and had a biopsy, negative. . The doctor asked me if I had bad stools, dull abdominal pain under the navel, when the stools were apple, what was the liquid? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me. Thank you doctor.

Hello friend,
With the question "What's the disease with bad stools, dull abdominal pain under the navel, when stools are apple, sometimes loose??", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Early signs are usually bleeding Black bruise, if the tumor is large, there may be intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, constipation. In case you have had a colon polyp removed 3 years ago and there is little blood in your bowel movements, you should do an early colonoscopy to check for colon cancer.
Bad stools, dull abdominal pain below the navel, and sometimes loose stools are often manifestations of colitis but cannot rule out colon tumors.
To conclude what the treatment is, you need to perform a colonoscopy to check and evaluate the situation. If there is no tumor but only colitis, then only medical treatment is needed.
If you still have questions about the phenomenon of bad stools, dull abdominal pain under the navel, sometimes apple, sometimes loose stools, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice.
