Why Is There Blood in My Stool?

Pay attention to promptly checking the cause of blood in stool, and receive targeted treatment after diagnosis. Blood in stool may be caused by bleeding in the digestive tract or hemorrhoids. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment after confirmation of diagnosis. If it is caused by hemorrhoids, medication can be used for treatment, and severe hemorrhoids can be surgically treated. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and avoid eating greasy, spicy and other stimulating foods.

If there is blood in the stool, the more common causes are bleeding in the digestive tract and hemorrhoids. If it is upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the color of the stool should be black, which is considered to be related to the substances formed after the combination of hemoglobin and gastric acid. If it is lower gastrointestinal bleeding, the color of the stool is dark red. If it is hemorrhoidal bleeding, the color of the stool is bright red. Regardless of the cause of bleeding.

It is recommended to improve relevant examinations to clarify the location of bleeding. Electronic gastroscopy and colonoscopy can be improved to clarify the location of bleeding, and relevant examinations of anus and intestine can also be used to clarify the location of bleeding. Only when the cause is clear can correct treatment be given.

In this case, you can first improve your diet, eat more vegetables, which should be able to improve the symptoms. If the symptoms cannot be improved, you can go to the hospital for examination and take some oral medications. If the symptoms are more severe, a minor surgery may be required, which can improve the symptoms. Another situation is that there is blood in the stool but no anal pain, which may be caused by internal hemorrhoids. If it is internal hemorrhoids, it can be solved by improving diet, taking oral medications, or minor surgery. If it is a rectal tumor, hospitalization is necessary, and major surgery or endoscopic surgery may be required. Therefore, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
