Bleeding in stool in autumn

For normal people, one physiological activity they need to perform every day is defecation. Because everyone needs to replenish their body with energy every day, and some foods cannot be completely digested and absorbed after entering the body, so they need to be excreted through defecation. Some people find that their stools are dry and hard in autumn, and there is blood in their stools. What is going on?

What causes dry and bleeding stools in autumn?

Blood in the stool did not attract people's attention. Most people believe that it is caused by getting too hot, especially when bloody stools occur in autumn, this idea is more common. It is extremely dangerous to mistakenly treat repeated bloody stools as a fire-related illness. In addition to causing pale complexion, fatigue, anemia, fainting, etc., it may also hide some serious diseases. Repeated bloody stools are mostly caused by hemorrhoids, while diseases such as colitis and rectal cancer will also cause bloody stools. Especially for rectal cancer, bloody stools are the only early symptom accounting for 90% of the cases.

The dry climate in autumn, coupled with people's insufficient water intake, irregular diet, and lack of exercise, can easily cause constipation, which can also lead to the onset of hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

1. During the process of constipation, patients become extremely impatient due to the difficulty in defecation. Therefore, they will inevitably engage in violent digging, struggling, etc., which will rupture the anus and cause dry and bleeding stools.

2. Dry and bleeding stools caused by anal fissure are the most common symptoms. The amount is usually small and bright red in color, sometimes staining toilet paper red, or adhering to the surface of dry stool, sometimes dripping with blood. Defecation causes severe pain, and patients often dare not defecate.

3. Dry and bleeding stools are important indicators of hemorrhoids. Since dry and hard stools can easily squeeze hemorrhoids and cause blood in the stools, patients often try to endure the discomfort, making the stools even drier, and this cycle forms a vicious cycle.

4. Busy and stressful work makes many people hold their bowel movements and fail to defecate in time. Over time, this will lead to a slow response of the intestinal defecation nerves.

5. Irregular eating habits and unbalanced nutritional intake can cause intestinal imbalance.

6. Excessive fatigue and mental stress will inhibit intestinal motility and secretion of digestive juices, leading to indigestion and constipation.

7. Lack of exercise will cause the intestinal muscles to become loose, the peristaltic function to weaken, and constipation is likely to occur.

8. Using some medicines that are harmful to the intestines will kill the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, causing indigestion and eventually constipation.

9. Drinking less water on a regular basis will weaken the dry lubricant in the intestines, increase friction, and make it difficult to discharge contents from the intestines.

What to do if your stool is dry and bleeding in autumn?

1. Drink a certain amount of water in one breath at a fixed time every day, such as drinking 1000 ml (2 large cups) of water on an empty stomach every morning. In this way, the water reaches the colon before it has time to be absorbed in the intestines, which helps soften the intestinal contents and aid defecation. Long-term persistence can help you develop a good habit of getting up early to defecate.

2. Pay attention to supplementing your diet with foods high in crude fiber, such as celery, oranges, and whole-wheat products.

3. Eat more yogurt, honey and other foods to cultivate beneficial intestinal bacteria.

4. In the dry seasons of autumn and winter, if you have symptoms such as blood in the stool and constipation, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible. You should also be alert if you have the following symptoms: anal itching, diarrhea, constipation, painful defecation, pain in the anus or around the anus, foreign objects protruding from the anus, lumps and protrusions in the anus, swollen anus, incomplete defecation, etc.

5. If you sit for a long time and lack exercise, the intestinal muscles will become loose and the peristaltic function will weaken. In addition, women's abdominal muscles are naturally weaker, and the force used to push stool out is small, so they are more prone to constipation. It is recommended to exercise more, especially for ladies who work in offices.

6. When you are busy at work or you are pressed for time in the morning, you may not have bowel movements in time when you feel the urge to do so, and often hold it in. This will cause the sensory nerves in the rectum to become dull, resulting in habitual constipation. Regular bowel movement is recommended.

7. Excessive fatigue and mental stress will inhibit intestinal motility and secretion of digestive juices, leading to indigestion and constipation.

8. Eat less spicy, fried, deep-fried, strong alcoholic and other indigestible irritating foods, eat more fruits, vegetables and fibrous foods, drink more water, especially bananas, honey and other laxative foods.

9. If you have dry stools, do not use laxatives, detoxification drugs, aloe vera capsules, etc. at will. Long-term use will not only aggravate constipation but also cause drug dependence.
