Frequent bloody stools after hysterectomy for cervical cancer

Cervical cancer patients who undergo total hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy may have blood in their stools due to intestinal damage, heavy bleeding, digestive tract diseases, etc. If you have blood in your stools frequently, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Surgical factors

1. Surgical injury: When performing a total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy, the intestine or connective tissue may be accidentally injured, causing local bleeding, which may manifest as blood in the stool. If the amount of bleeding is small and there are no other discomfort symptoms, no special treatment is required, just observe carefully. However, if the bleeding is heavy, another surgery is required to stop the bleeding and follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as ceftriaxone sodium to prevent infection.

2. Heavy bleeding: Some cervical cancer patients may experience heavy bleeding after surgery due to increased intra-abdominal pressure caused by improper diet, premature activity, etc., and there may also be blood in the stool, accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness and palpitations. The bleeding site should be identified in time and hemostatic drugs such as tranexamic acid tablets should be used to help stop the bleeding. If necessary, blood should be supplemented through blood transfusions.

3. Other reasons: In addition to the above, it may also be caused by bleeding due to sutures irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa, usually accompanied by abdominal pain and other symptoms. In this case, you should actively follow the doctor's advice to take amoxicillin capsules and other drugs to control inflammation, and remove the sutures as soon as possible after the condition stabilizes.

2. Non-surgical factors

1. Hemorrhoids: usually related to long-term constipation, long-term sitting and other factors. When the disease occurs, the anus will be prolapsed and the stool will be bloody. Usually, you should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and use drugs such as Xiongdan Zhiling suppositories for treatment. If the effect is not good, you can use infrared therapy and other methods for treatment.

2. Ulcerative colitis: It is usually a chronic nonspecific inflammatory disease of the colon and rectum caused by factors such as genetics, abnormal immune function, and bacterial infection. It is mainly characterized by diarrhea, mucus, pus, and blood in the stool. This kind of situation may also occur. You can take oral mesalazine sustained-release granules and other drugs for anti-inflammatory treatment as prescribed by the doctor. At the same time, you should also take antidiarrheal drugs such as compound berberine tablets to improve clinical symptoms.

In addition, it may also be caused by factors such as liver cirrhosis, rupture of gastric fundus veins, detachment of esophageal-gastric fundus varicose veins, and coagulation disorders. It is recommended to complete stool examinations, colonoscopy and other related examinations to clarify the diagnosis. In daily life, pay attention to rest, regular diet and work and rest, maintain a stable mood, and actively cooperate with doctors to take intervention measures, which is conducive to the body's recovery.
