What should I do if my two-week-old baby has blood in their stool?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. What should I do if the baby's stool has blood for two weeks?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be caused by intestinal damp-heat leading to the manifestation of anal fissure. It is recommended to visit a proctology department for examination. In daily life, maintain a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and take fish oil supplements.
A hernia is a weak or torn area in the abdominal muscles, causing fat tissue or other organs like the intestines to protrude outward through this area, forming a noticeable bulge under the skin, accompanied by discomfort and pain. Symptoms become more pronounced during prolonged standing, urination, defecation, or heavy lifting. There is no medication to treat hernias; surgical repair of the defect is the only treatment option.
