Occurrence of yellow stool and diarrhea may be related to acute enteritis, gastrointestinal dysfunction, bacterial dysentery, and intestinal tumors. It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly, follow doctor's advice for treatment, and avoid delaying the condition.
1. Acute enteritis: Consuming unclean food, food contaminated by viruses or bacteria, or excessive intake of stimulating foods like chili peppers, can lead to acute inflammatory reactions in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in yellow stool. Additionally, inflammatory stimulation of the intestinal mucosa can accelerate gastrointestinal motility, causing diarrhea and thus dysentery.
2. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: This is often caused by irregular eating habits, indigestion, and other factors. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can lead to dehydration, resulting in yellow stool. Consuming foods containing yellow pigments, such as carrots, can also cause yellow stool. If gastrointestinal dysfunction is present, the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract decreases, leading to a decrease in metabolic capacity, causing diarrhea and dysentery.
3. Bacterial dysentery: This is an intestinal infectious disease caused by Shigella infection. Patients may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucopurulent bloody stool, and tenesmus. Among these, diarrhea may manifest as yellow stool. Direct or indirect contact with contaminated food or water can lead to the invasion of pathogens into the body, causing dysentery.
4. Intestinal tumors: If a patient has intestinal tumors, the tumor tissue may invade surrounding tissues during growth, causing local tissue congestion, edema, and changes in stool consistency, resulting in yellow stool. If the tumor tissue ruptures, there may also be bloody discharge.
When encountering yellow stool and dysentery, it is recommended that patients promptly consult a doctor for a thorough stool routine examination, blood routine examination, and other diagnostic tests. Treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
