What causes bloody mucus in stool?

If there is blood and mucus in the stool, you should be alert to whether it is hemorrhoids or anal fissures. Many people in our lives are affected by these diseases. People with schistosomiasis, rectal cancer, and amoebic dysentery may also have these symptoms.

1. Hemorrhoids, anal fissures, or anal fistulas: The blood is usually bright red, does not mix with stool, and does not contain mucus. It manifests as blood dripping after defecation, which is more likely to occur when the stool is hard.

2. Bacterial dysentery: The stool is often bloody and pus-like, with a small amount each time, often accompanied by a feeling of tenesmus; the chronic stage is characterized by intermittent episodes of mucus, bloody and pus-like stools.

3. Amebic dysentery: The stool is often jam-like or dark red, with large amounts of stool, often accompanied by purulent mucus. Patients often have fever, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and tenesmus.

4. Schistosomiasis: There is a history of contact with infected water, which often manifests as chronic diarrhea, pus-like or bloody stools.

5. Ulcerative stool with blood in stool: The stool is generally mucus, pus and bloody, and in severe cases it may be bloody and watery.

6. Intussusception: The stool contains mucus and blood, which often does not contain stool.

7. Rectal cancer and colon cancer: When the stool becomes thinner and is accompanied by mucus, pus and blood, colon cancer should be suspected.

8. Rectal and colon polyps: When there are polyps in the rectum, sigmoid colon or descending colon, there will be fresh blood attached to the stool.
