Go to Er or doctor. May need colonoscopy.
Hope you’ve seen a gastroenterologist for your symptoms already
This could be from something serious (ischemic colitis, other colitis - infectious or IBD - less likely IBS with bleeding hemorrhoids. We cannot totally rule out more serious conditions like polyps or cancer). Therefore, please see your physician right away. You will need blood tests and maybe CT and a colonoscopy.
Blood in the stools is always concerning. Would recommend you go to an emergency room for physical exam and laboratory evaluation
This is an urgent matter and you need to contact your primary care doctor now.
Simple answer: You need to be evaluated for this bleeding. Though many aspects of your history are not given (gender, current medications, past medical history, etc.), blood in the stool with the symptom of abdominal pain is not normal and cannot be ignored. At minimum, a CBC is needed as well as a colonoscopy.
