What's the reason for stomach pain when hungry, and why does pressing a specific area cause pain?

Patient's question:

I get stomach pain when I'm hungry, and pressing a certain area causes pain. I've had this before, and it's probably gastritis. However, there's blood at the end of my stool for the past two days, and there's fresh blood on the toilet paper as well—it's very red, with just a little bit of pus and blood. Could it be hemorrhoids? I can feel that I might have them, but the issue is that there's blood at the end of my stool. However, the blood is on the surface, not mixed in. How serious is this situation?

Doctor's answer:

This situation does not rule out hemorrhoids or other intestinal issues. It is recommended to consider undergoing an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Recently, avoid alcohol and spicy foods. After the gastroscopy and colonoscopy, further treatment can be considered. In addition to taking medication for stomach pain, the patient needs to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper eating habits and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, the patient should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
