This question here says, a 20 year old man has complaints of diarrhea and abdominal pain.
00:06
He often sees some blood in his stool but not with every episode of diarrhea.
00:11
He also complains of easy fatigue and weight loss and for two days he has had nausea and vomiting.
00:18
Two years ago he was treated for a rectal fissure and on examination he has a modestly tender mass on the right lower quadrant.
00:27
The most likely diagnosis is appendicitis, uc, irritable bowel syndrome and crohn's disease.
00:37
In this case this patient has diarrhea, abdominal pain and these are common symptoms of many gastrointestinal disorders.
00:50
So this is not specific for any condition.
00:55
Now you have also blood in the stool.
01:00
So this does not happen in appendicitis and apparently also this is a chronic condition.
01:05
In appendicitis it is an acute case.
01:07
So appendicitis is not the answer in this case.
01:10
It can be uc, irritable bowel syndrome or crohn's disease...
