Boys have blood in their stool

There are many reasons for blood in the stool, which are often caused by digestive tract or anorectal diseases. Consider the possibility of hemorrhoids, such as internal hemorrhoids, or lower gastrointestinal bleeding irritating gastrointestinal function acceleration, rectal polyps, duodenal tumors, cancer, etc. If the stool is black or tarry, consider the possibility of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Hemorrhoids cause blood in the stool, mainly manifested as blood on the surface of the excrement or blood dripping after defecation or pain and discomfort, which is common in internal hemorrhoids. Surgery is recommended to solve it.

Intestinal polyps, rectal cancer, and colon cancer have recurrent mucus-rich stools and changes in bowel movement characteristics. Gastroduodenal ulcers, varicose veins of the gastric fundus, and severe bleeding mainly manifest as blood in the stool. In addition, blood diseases or oral anticoagulant and antiplatelet aggregation drugs can also cause intestinal bleeding. Therefore, once blood in the stool occurs, it is recommended to go to the gastroenterology department for enteroscopy and stool occult blood examination, and if necessary, routine blood tests and coagulation function tests to confirm the cause.

If a boy bleeds after defecation, he should not be anxious at first, but should go to the hospital for outpatient treatment immediately. If the blood in the stool is red, it is considered that the bleeding location is closer to the anus. 1. The more common cause of bleeding is mixed hemorrhoids. Mixed hemorrhoids are varicose venous blood vessels. When abdominal pressure increases or constipation occurs, it is easy to cause hemorrhoidal vein sedimentation and swelling, which in turn causes bleeding.

2. Anal fissure. If the stool is hard and dry, it is easy to damage the skin of the anal canal and cause lacerations. Then, when the stool is cleaned, there will be blood on the surface of the stool. Rectal polyps, rectal adenomas, and even duodenal malignant tumors can sometimes damage the mucosa or blood vessels under the mucosa, causing bleeding. If the boy's stool bleeding is dark red, it is likely to be upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The bleeding location is far from the anus. It is necessary to understand whether there is a history of gastric or duodenal bleeding. Therefore, if a boy has bleeding stool, considering upper gastrointestinal bleeding or lower gastrointestinal bleeding, a rectal examination, colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and colon capsule endoscopy should be performed if necessary to determine the location and cause of the bleeding.
