What should boys do if they have blood in the toilet?

Blood in the stool is common in young people. There are many reasons for it, most of which are pre-symptoms of anorectal diseases. If you don't pay attention to your diet in your daily life and like to eat spicy food, it is easy to cause blood in the stool, especially for men. Only by finding the cause of blood in the stool can you find a way to treat it. Why do men bleed a lot when they poop? This question still seems strange to many people. Let's introduce it in detail below.

Why do boys bleed a lot when they poop?

1. Internal hemorrhoid bleeding: The most common bleeding in hemorrhoids is first- and second-stage internal hemorrhoids. There is no pain during defecation, and the main symptoms are blood on the toilet paper and blood retention. Sometimes it is spurting blood, and the bleeding stops after defecation. Bleeding usually occurs with dry and hard stools and difficulty in defecation. The probability of bleeding increases after eating dry foods or drinking alcohol.

2. Anal fissure bleeding: common in young people with a history of significant constipation. The blood in the stool is dark red, accompanied by severe anal swelling and pain. The pain usually subsides 10 to 20 minutes after defecation, until the next bowel movement, the same bleeding and pain will appear again, causing great psychological pressure on the patient before defecation and fear of defecation.

3. Chronic eczema and inflammation around the anus: This is a common chronic skin disease. In addition to blood stains on toilet paper after defecation, clinical symptoms also include perianal itching or dampness and coldness around the anus. Examination shows that the skin around the anus becomes thicker, larger and coarser. In severe cases, it may show lichenification, scars or cracks.

4. Chronic proctitis or ulcerative proctitis: The patient has clinical symptoms of anal prolapse, unclean stool, unformed stool, accompanied by dark red purulent bloody stool or mucoid purulent bloody stool. Microscopic examination shows abscesses. If it is amoebic or bacterial dysentery, trophozoites or Shigella dysenteriae can be found to diagnose it.

5. Duodenal tumor: Rectal cancer and rectal polyps also present painless bleeding in the stool as the initial clinical symptom. If it is advanced rectal cancer, there may be persistent pain in the anus and around the anus, and in addition to bloody stools, there may also be necrotic tissue excreted (with a foul odor). Anal digital examination can be used for diagnosis. If it is rectal cancer, hospitalization and surgery should be performed as soon as possible to eradicate it.
