What are the reasons for a 10-year-old child having difficulty defecating?

Patient's question:

Three years ago and now; Hematochezia; Have visited Guangzhou Guìhuāgǎng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.

Doctor's answer:

First, a stool test containing "blood" should be conducted to check if there are red blood cells in the stool and whether it is truly blood in the stool. If it is indeed blood in the stool, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. As long as you develop the habit of having a bowel movement daily, drink more water, and eat more vegetables, it should be fine. You can also eat more convenient foods, such as bananas. However, if the condition is severe, it is recommended to visit a large hospital to avoid severe anal fissures. Additionally, pay attention to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene around the anus after a bowel movement to prevent inflammation and infection.
