Why is there blood in the stool but no pain?

In modern society, people enjoy a high level of quality of life, but their health is getting worse and worse, which is related to their unhealthy lifestyle. Changes in people's physical condition are mainly manifested in problems with the digestive system. For example, many people have symptoms of blood in the stool but no pain. This symptom needs people to pay attention to it. Let's take a look at what happens when there is blood in the stool but no pain?

Blood in the stool is a special symptom of bleeding in the lower digestive tract, colon, rectum or anus. Bleeding is a reminder from the body that there is an organic lesion in the intestine. It must be taken very seriously, diagnosed promptly and treated as soon as possible.

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.
