Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? I ask, what could be the reason for the baby's fish egg-like stool with blood streaks?Doctor's answer:
This is normal because in small babies, the anal muscle tissue and nerves have not yet developed well. They cannot control themselves, so whenever they strain, it can lead to the passage of stool. Additionally, the muscles around the baby's anus are particularly delicate, and even slight force can cause them to be scraped or bleed. This may result in the stool having a few traces of blood. All of this is normal and unavoidable. It will only improve as the child grows older and their muscles and nerves develop fully.
