Stomach ache, diarrhea, bloody stool

Stomach pain, diarrhea and bloody stools. These symptoms can generally be diagnosed as diarrhea and bloody stools. Diarrhea and bloody stools are relatively serious symptoms, and the occurrence of such symptoms can cause great harm to human health. For this reason, once diarrhea or bloody stools are discovered, timely treatment must be sought to avoid further harm. Let me introduce to you the dangers of diarrhea and bloody stools!

1. Anemia

Due to digestion and absorption disorders, the absorption of protein and other hematopoietic raw materials is reduced, which can cause anemia. Many patients will develop pale nails, palms, skin, lips, and conjunctiva, fatigue, dizziness, tinnitus, inattention and other anemia symptoms after a period of diarrhea, and may even develop malnutrition edema.

2. Malnutrition

The gastrointestinal tract is the only way for the human body to absorb nutrients. After the ingested food and other nutrients are digested and decomposed in the gastrointestinal tract, the useful parts are absorbed and the useless residues are excreted through feces. When diarrhea occurs, the body's absorption of nutrients is severely impaired and energy supply is insufficient, causing people to feel dizzy, dry mouth, fatigue in the limbs, palpitations and shortness of breath, and even show signs of malnutrition.

3. Vitamin deficiency

Long-term diarrhea can directly affect the body's absorption of vitamins and cause vitamin deficiency. Some people experience dry skin and hair after prolonged diarrhea. Their hair loses its normal luster and moisture, and sometimes there is scattered hair loss, resulting in premature baldness. This is due to a lack of vitamin A. For example, some people develop glossitis, angular cheilitis, and multiple neuritis, which is the result of a lack of vitamin B.

4. Reduce the body's resistance

Malnutrition, anemia and vitamin deficiency caused by diarrhea can weaken the body's resistance to infectious diseases and various infections, make inflammation easily spread, and also weaken the ability of tissue regeneration and wound healing, making wounds difficult to heal after injuries.

5. Cause electrolyte imbalance in the body

Small intestinal mucosal lesions can directly affect the body's absorption of water. The high osmotic pressure in the intestinal cavity will cause part of the water in the blood to transfer to the intestinal cavity, and finally be excreted through the stool, causing the body to lose a large amount of water. As long as water loss does not exceed 5% of body weight, the body can still compensate. Once it exceeds 5%, it cannot be compensated, resulting in a series of water, electrolyte imbalances and acid-base balance disorders.
