Any thoughts? Could i have IBS or does it sound more serious?

I just turned 20 and I am having pain in my lower right abdomen and groin that started about a month ago. When I went to my doctor they thought it was my appendix but a CT scan showed everything was ok. I'm severely constipated and can't seem to get any relief and the pain still has not gone away. I've been to the ER twice and they can't tell me anything. Yesterday I started noticing that I have thick mucous that's bloody around my stool. I'm getting an appointment to see a GI specialist next week but I'm running out of options and the pain still isn't going away and the blood in my stool is very concerning. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! When I can have a bowel movement it's very hard and round, but it still feels like I need to go more.

Yes it was. I haven't had anymore bleeding just mucus. I'm still going to go see my doctor again just to be on the safe side but I think I was just severely constipated. For now the pain has stopped and overall I'm feeling a lot better. Blood was just not what I wanted to see.

I was having diarrhea that turned into constipation and just straight out irregularity. I started passing mucus and blood. I had lower left abdominal pain. Had my colonoscopy and they removed one precancerous polyp, did some biopsies of inflammation and said I had several tiny internal hemmies...... Dr just told me I have colitis. Now the mucus and stuff makes sense. Im being treated with suppositories. I still don't know what kind of colitis it is. Wont know that until I get my actal biopsy results. Good luck to you.

I've had mucus for 4 years with my IBS. Mucus is fine.

SarahJordin, I too on occasion suffer the same pain in the lower right abdomen area as you described, and because I have had my appendix removed, I know that it is not it. I also had a colonoscopy come back clear.

I noticed that the pain comes back whenever I eat avocados, whole milk, or anything that causes gas. The pain takes about a day after I consume any of the above and will last for one to two days. The pain will lessen slowly until it is gone. Maybe your pain was due to something that you ate?

Have you had a transvaginal ultrasound to look at your ovary on that side? This test is more informative than a ct scan. Any problems with your periods? Sometimes if your ovary is having problems, it can affect your lower GI tract. I agree.....the bright red is probably from hemorrhoids. It's pretty scary seeing blood though. Do have your ovary checked out.
