Passing Blood Clot

[skinnyasparagus]

So I think I got contaminated the other day since I've been experiencing major gas, pressure, bloating, pain, and the other typical things. This morning, however, I started getting cramps - bad - and I went to the bathroom thinking I had to go but it was mostly gas and I passed a clot of blood or something that looked like a clot of blood.

My mom says its probably intestinal strain from being contaminated but..its still freaking me out a little. Should I not worry about it or go see a doctor? I have an appointment schedules already for the 25th of this month to see my ultrasound scan results so I can ask questions then. In the mean time, however, should I be severely concerned?

I'd appreciate all of your advice as always. <3

If you are concerned or still passing blood you may want to call the doctor on Monday and talk to a nurse or the doctor. If you should start to have blood that is flowing, get pale and shakey, start to run a fever or are generally feeling worse perhaps contact them sooner or go to the ER. Chances are you simply have an internal hemmie that started to bleed because of the stomach upset but if things don't resolve or continue to be worrysome call the doctor.

You're right to be concerned about this - if it is a hemmie as other poster mentioned, then this will keep happening until you get them taken care of; if not, then you need an evaluation of the problem to see exacty what is going on.

Okay it sorta happened again today. By sort of, meaning there was blood again but not a lot. My stomach still keeps bubbling with pain and I'm having my usual contamination reactions. I'll wait to see if it does occur again tomorrow, since they aren't opened today, and just walk in telling them its an emergency.

I have been going to the bathroom a lot lately, which happens when I get contaminated so hemorrhoids are possible.

Thanks guys, I know I can count on you.
