Question
Hi doctor,
I recently had abdominal pain from the epigastrium along the navel down. Occasionally there is blood in the stools dripping, sometimes there is blood mixed in the stool. Sometimes it's a little diarrhea, sometimes it's constipated. Feeling tired, sometimes headache. Weight is not affected, I am a bit overweight, at 100kg, 185cm tall.
I have a history of internal hemorrhoids grade 1 about 10 years ago, irregular recurrence. I also have a history of tuberculosis. So the doctor asked me what is the epigastric abdominal pain accompanied by abnormal bowel movements? Are you likely to have a serious colon disease? Thank you.
