What's wrong with bloody stool

In daily life, defecation is a physiological process that is necessary every day. Men, women, young and old all need to defecate. Expelling garbage and waste accumulated in the body during the day is more beneficial to good health. Many friends find that there is pus and blood in their stool, and they become particularly nervous and anxious. Is there a problem with their health? So what is the matter with pus and blood in the stool? The following is a detailed introduction for everyone, I hope it can help friends.

What's going on if there is pus and blood in the stool?

1. Amebic dysentery is caused by amoeba, and patients will also discharge pus, blood and mucus in their stools. Careful observation will reveal that there is more blood and less pus in the stool. The stool is often dark red or jam-like. The patient does not feel obvious abdominal pain or even a sense of tenesmus, and the patient generally does not have a fever. The diagnosis can be made by simply finding amebas in the stool.

2. Patients with chronic schistosomiasis also have diarrhea, with loose stools or stools containing mucus or pus and blood, 2 to 3 times a day, sometimes accompanied by tenesmus, which is very similar to dysentery. Long-term illness will cause anemia, weight loss, and physical weakness. If you have a history of contact with schistosomiasis-infected water, you can go to the local schistosomiasis control station or schistosomiasis control hospital for relevant examinations and diagnosis.

3. When the patient's stool contains blood and mucus, the possibility of colon cancer or rectal cancer should also be considered. The patient has increased bowel movements, with pus and blood in the stool, obvious tenesmus, and often symptoms such as weight loss and abdominal pain. See a doctor promptly. Digital rectal examination, sigmoidoscopy or fiber colonoscopy, and barium enema X-ray can help with diagnosis.

4. Most cases of bleeding in stool are caused by benign intestinal diseases, and colorectal cancer accounts for only a small part of them. There are many causes of bloody stools, among which hemorrhoids, anal fissures and juvenile rectal polyps are more common. In addition, bloody stools need to be differentiated from upper gastrointestinal bleeding and intestinal bleeding caused by systemic diseases (such as blood diseases). Please go to the hospital for anorectal examination.

Finding out the cause of the disease is the best way to solve it. For the examination of bloody stools, you must not go to a small clinic or an informal hospital for diagnosis and treatment. This will not only bring pain to yourself, but also be of no help to the condition and delay the best time for treatment. Blood in the stool should not be taken lightly.
