Major bowel concerns

[johnnnnie]

male 30 , Hi for a long time i have suffered on say a monthly basis about 9 10 times a month red blood on my stool, sometimes i think from hard stool,but more recently i have had abdominal pain and then very loose stools almost diahorrea with blood again not huge amounts, but it was a small stool but much bigger than say a dot of blood, my stools are never the same ie- sometimes black and brown sometimes then normal then light with blood, i dont know if this is anything related but my urine really smells foul and is cloudy i did ask for a urine test and that came back with no bacteria please help.

Thanks everyone, initially it was to check urine for bacteria which was clear, but i now have piles this change in habits with blood is far to often even before haemorrids, im not sure if the foul smelling urine would of detected diabetes, but anyway i get full bloods done enxt week and have been refered to see a specialist which will then be a colonoscopy,many thanks for your help i will let you know soon thanks again

Sounds like some sort of Colitis and the urinary issue is secondary.  

I would recommend consulting a GI Specialist and having an Colonscopy done.

Black stools typically indicate a bleed further up in the GI tract and it bears further investigation - as ducky above mentions, a colo/end-oscopy or other investigation to determine the source of the bleed seems like a reasonable next step.

Honestly I would ask for a colonoscopy or at least a sigmoidscopy. This doesn't sound normal so the drs really should be more than doing a urine test.

I also think you should get tested for diabetes- sometimes that can cause foul smelling urine. Also perhaps it's worth it to rule out food allergies- like gluten?

Either way, don't let your dr's ignore you on this. Hopefully it's nothing more then hemorrhoids, but really it's not worth the risk.
