I am a 27 year old female of what I know to be good health. I am not pregnant. For a few months I have been getting really constipated, then I would get severe cramps in my lower abdomen which would lead to diarrhea. About a week ago I had severe cramping to where I couldn't walk or move. All day I couldn't move or I would start cramping and have to go to the bathroom. By the afternoon I noticed no stool, just about a shot glass of blood each time I went. I had a constant urge to urinate, was extremely tired, shaky, and dizzy, with no fever. The next day I felt extremely intoxicated. For days after that I would start cramping, which was just gas that in order to pass I would have to sit like I was going to have a bowel movement. Also I can not walk more than a few hundred yards. It feels as if my uterus is tight/bulging. Today I went to the bathroom, and when I went to wipe there was an extremely large blood clot followed by many more. I am very nervous, and do not have insurance.

Abdominal Pain Answer A9015
Hi and welcome to the forum! I am glad that I can help you.

You would like to know the cause of bleeding from the alimentary canal.

The reasons for bleeding in the lower part of the bowels are: infections, strangulations of polyps, fistula and constipation that leads to the formation of hemorrhoids and fissures. Increased body temperature, cramping and diarrhea are symptoms of the majority of bowel infections.

According to the data that you describe, it is likely that you may be experiencing any of the conditions that are caused by constipation. You may consider changing your diet by consuming more liquid-like meals such as soups to avoid constipation. You might also consider increasing the intake of water to avoid tiredness and dizziness while visiting the bathroom. If you experience severe symptoms and discomfort you should see a gastroenterolgist for further advice about diagnosis of your current condition.

Please keep in mind that I provide medical information only. I am not able to diagnose medical conditions online. Please contact your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider such as a gastroenterologist for further advice and information about diagnosis and treatment options.
