Patient's question:
When the child was 3 years old, in September of this year, they had a case of diarrhea with occasional vomiting and a slight fever. They took anti-inflammatory medication and felt better the next day. Since then, they have had intermittent episodes of blood in their urine. Their stools are hard and slightly dark, with streaks of blood and mucus on the surface. Sometimes they have a bowel movement every two or three days, while other times they only produce a small amount each time. Sometimes they mention feeling pain during defecation, and after going to the bathroom, they notice redness and swelling around the anus. What could be the cause of such symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,According to the medical history, it is likely caused by irregular bowel movements and constipation. I suggest that you help your child develop a daily bowel movement habit, drink more water, and maintain smooth and moist stools. If necessary, you may visit a colorectal department for a thorough examination.
