Patient's question:
The girl is two years old. Last night, she had a bowel movement with a lot of blood. She went to the hospital today because she hasn't had a bowel movement for three days and suffers from frequent constipation.Past treatment and effectiveness: She was seen at the hospital, where she was prescribed topical and oral medications, saying it was anal fissure.
What kind of help is needed: How could this happen? Will taking medication help? What should be paid attention to in the future?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you. Severe constipation in babies can lead to anal fissures, and parents should take it seriously. First, it's recommended to visit the gastroenterology department for a thorough check-up to determine if there is any organic inflammation in the digestive system. If not, some traditional Chinese medicine can be taken to regulate the condition. During bowel movements, a hot water steam bath can be used for the buttocks, and plenty of water should be drunk. The abdomen can also be massaged in a clockwise direction. This is the advice for the question "A two-year-old baby has a lot of blood when defecating." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
