Long-term blood in stool generally does not lead to anemia. Long-term blood in stool usually refers to the stool appearing bright red or dark red and lasting for a long time, but it generally does not lead to anemia. It may be caused by diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and colonic polyps. It is recommended that patients promptly go to the hospital for relevant examinations and actively seek treatment under the guidance of doctors.
1. Hemorrhoids: Related to sitting for long periods of time and eating spicy and stimulating foods, when patients experience long-term constipation and difficulty defecating, the venous pressure around the anus increases, resulting in varicose veins and thus hemorrhoids. Patients may develop venous masses around the anus. If patients have long-term constipation and dry stool, it can irritate the mucosal surface of hemorrhoids, leading to local rupture and bleeding, but generally does not lead to anemia;
2. Anal fissures: Related to anal stenosis, infection, and other factors, leading to tearing-like injuries in the local skin. If patients have long-term constipation, dry and hard stool, it can irritate the local damaged area, causing blood vessel rupture and bleeding, but generally does not lead to anemia;
3. Colonic polyps: Related to genetics, age, and other factors, long-term inflammatory stimulation can lead to hyperplastic lesions in the colonic mucosa. If patients have long-term constipation, it may slow down intestinal motility, thus increasing the probability of polyps occurring. If the patient's polyps are large or located close to the anus, they may irritate the local mucosa, leading to blood vessel rupture and bleeding. However, it generally does not lead to anemia and can be promptly diagnosed and treated;
4. Other diseases: If patients have gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, if not treated promptly, the symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding are not alleviated, which may lead to long-term chronic bleeding, resulting in decreased hemoglobin levels in the body and anemia. If patients have long-term blood in stool, it is recommended to promptly visit the gastroenterology department of the hospital, undergo relevant examinations such as visual examination, gastroscopy, colonoscopy, etc., to identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of doctors. If it is caused by hemorrhoids, Ma Yinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment and other drugs can be used for active treatment as directed.
