Bloody mucus in stool_Bloody mucus in stool

Feces is a kind of waste produced by everyone's body, and feces is mainly produced when the food taken into the body is not completely digested and absorbed. And because feces pass through the human intestinal system before being excreted from the body, feces can also reflect some diseases inside the intestinal system. If a person's stool has blood and some mucus, what disease could be causing it?

Common causes

Many people have encountered the problem of bloody stools. There are many causes of bloody stools. Most anorectal diseases can cause bloody stools, and digestive tract diseases can also cause bloody stools.

hemorrhoid

Hemorrhoids are one of the common causes of bloody stools, and internal hemorrhoids are the most common cause of bloody stools. Blood in the stool caused by internal hemorrhoids is generally not painful. Severe anal pain will only occur when the hemorrhoids protrude outside the anus. The blood in the stool is bright red and mostly appears after defecation. If you exert too much force during defecation, you may damage the mucosa in the cecum, increase the pressure in the blood vessels, and cause the patient to experience spurting bleeding.

Anal fissure

Different from the bloody stool caused by hemorrhoids, in addition to blood in the stool, the main feature of bloody stool caused by anal fissure is severe pain around the anus, especially during defecation, which is extremely painful. This severe pain usually lasts for several minutes before it subsides, but that’s not the end. If the sphincter spasms after defecation, this severe pain will occur again and will continue for several hours or even more than ten hours. The main reason is that anal fissures make the skin of the anal canal particularly fragile, and ulcers can easily cause severe pain. During defecation, the hard feces will repeatedly rub the ulcers and fragile skin, causing severe pain.

Various enteritis

Due to the inflammation, the integrity of the intestinal mucosa is destroyed, and the stool is mixed with dark purple blood and secretions, accompanied by symptoms unique to various types of enteritis.

Other causes

Experts remind that in addition to the two common causes mentioned above, there are many complex factors that can cause blood in the stool. Therefore, when blood in the stool occurs, the best way is to go to the hospital for treatment, let the doctor check and diagnose, and prescribe the right medicine, so as to get rid of the trouble of blood in the stool as soon as possible.
