Q: Blood and mucus in stool

Okay, well for probably two years or so now, I've been occasionally getting some little bits of pinkish blood on the toilet paper...and I read that this can be normal etc. But that doesn't stop me worrying, and I told the doctor but he wasn't concerned. But probably more recently, ie at least 6 months to a year, I've had mucus when I wipe almost every time, clearish, and sometimes more, sometimes none. Also for the past 6 monthsish I've had bloating in my stomach during the day, quite uncomfortable. I also had pains in my left side, and went to the doctor, I thought I had a UTI, and he said yes I did, but also thought I may have had chlamydia, got a test done, and it came back negative. I still get the occasional pain in my left side. It's hard to sort out where all my symptoms come from as I also have depression. I'm tired very often, and have frequent headaches. I've been feeling quite nauseous lately.

If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated...the only thing I mentioned to the doctor was the blood.

Thanks. BTW I'm only 17.

Sounds like you could be suffering from constipation and the blood from internal hemmoroids.

Your doctor can't help when he / she does not have all the facts. Have you spoke with your mom and / or dad about this situation?

I would suggest that you go back to your doctor or a gastrologist with all the symptoms that you have given us, time frame, etc for help getting this issued resolved.
