Had a similar problem for last few months but it is improving now. I went through complete battery of gastro tests to rule out bad things and thank God all results were negative.
It might be that it
Ok, there was no explanation given for the problem cuase he said he didnt find anythign wrong, i am a 22 year old male, only other medical condition is exterinal compartment sysdrome. i was in good shape but recently i have gotten out of shape. not obese, i also did some mega heavy lifting a week before this start, helping my parents move for 2 weeks. thats all the info i can give.
there's lots more info needed: among them, your age, sex, other medical conditions, etc. What explanation was given for the streaks of blood? The most common explanation is either hemorroids or fissure, neither of which would cause abdominal pain. Depending on your age, if there's no specific explanation for the blood, a scope exam -- either sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy -- might be a good idea. The best source is your own doctor, who knows all the details of your situation. If the pain continues, you should let him know about it.
The pain that is described is a little high for colon pain. Possible causes can include GERD, inflammation of the upper digestive tract, ulcers, or pancreatic pain. Tests to evaluate this would include an upper endoscopy/upper GI series as well as pancreatic enzymes (i.e. amylase and lipase).
Blood in the stool is never normal - and can be caused by hemorrhoids, polyps, or colon cancer. A flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy should be discussed to evaluate this.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
