Will I die if I bleed?

In life, many people will experience blood in their stool. When this happens, many people will feel particularly frightened and don’t know what causes the blood in their stool. In general, there are many reasons for blood in the stool, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, anal fissures, hemorrhoids, and anal polyps, which can cause blood in the stool.

Will bleeding kill you?

No, that should be caused by constipation due to inflammation. Blood in the stool is generally a special symptom of bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal tract, especially the colon, rectum or anus, indicating an organic lesion.

Bloody disease

1. Hemorrhoids and blood in stool:

The blood in the stool occurs during or after defecation. The blood is bright red and does not mix with the stool.

2. Anal fissure and blood in stool:

The blood is bright red and can be seen when dripping or wiping with toilet paper. Fresh anal fissures will cause severe anal pain after defecation.

3. Blood in stool due to digestive tract diseases:

The stool is tarry or black-red, and the bleeding site is mostly in the upper gastrointestinal tract; if the blood is pure red, it is mostly bleeding from lower gastrointestinal tract diseases.

4. Rectal cancer and blood in the stool:

The blood in the stool is bright red and is attached to the surface of the stool in drops; in the late stage, it is accompanied by anorectal prolapse and general weight loss, increased frequency of bowel movements, and alternating constipation and diarrhea.

5. Rectal blood in stool, colon polyps:

The blood is bright red, painless, and does not mix with stool. Ulcerative colitis and dysentery often have stools mixed with mucus or blood and pus, and are accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, fever, and frequent bowel movements.

6. Blood in stool due to systemic diseases:

In diseases such as leukemia, hemophilia, uremia and some rare infectious diseases, bleeding may occur in other parts of the body at the same time as blood in the stool.

The dangers of bleeding

1. Blood in the stool may indicate the occurrence of a variety of anorectal diseases. Blood in the stool is a common symptom, and its appearance often indicates the occurrence of some anorectal diseases. Among the many anorectal diseases, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal polyps, colon polyps, ulcerative colitis and even rectal cancer can cause blood in the stool. Blood in the stool often becomes a "disguise" for serious diseases such as rectal cancer, causing patients to relax their vigilance and ultimately suffer from the harm of the disease.

2. Long-term bloody stools can cause iron deficiency anemia. It is reported that long-term bloody stools can easily cause the patient to lose a large amount of iron in the body, causing iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia generally develops slowly. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms or mild symptoms. In severe anemia, patients may experience pale complexion, fatigue, loss of appetite, palpitations, rapid heart rate, shortness of breath and edema after physical activity. Some patients may even experience neurological symptoms such as irritability, excitement, and irritability.

3. Some anorectal diseases are the main causes of bloody stools. Hemorrhoidal blood in the stool usually occurs during or after defecation, and appears as drops or spurts of blood. The blood is bright red and does not mix with the stool. Excessive blood in the stool may cause iron deficiency anemia. In more serious cases, symptoms include pale complexion, fatigue, loss of appetite, palpitations, and increased heart rate, which affect normal life and work, and also seriously endanger physical health. In addition, anal fissures, rectal polyps, colon polyps, ulcerative colitis, etc. can all cause blood in the stool. These are the main aspects of the dangers of blood in the stool.

4. Blood in the stool is also a signal of intestinal malignancy, that is, early rectal cancer. Since blood in the stool is similar to hemorrhoid bleeding, but it is difficult to distinguish from the symptoms of blood in the stool, some people do not pay much attention to blood in the stool, which makes the early malignancy easily ignored and leads to tragedy.
