Not all LGIB symptoms are as visible as blood. Sometimes, a persistent abdominal pain can indicate an issue. It may be cramping, constant, or come and go, but it’s essential not to overlook it.

The discomfort arises from the gastrointestinal tract’s inflammation or disruption, often a side effect of bleeding or another underlying condition.

Dismissing such pain might lead to missed early detection of a severe issue like diverticulitis or colorectal cancer.(3)
