Patient's question:
Patient's gender: A one-and-a-half-month-old female infant in my family, with small blood clots in her stool. The blood clots are rice grain-sized. She is being fed with breast milk and formula.Question: What could be the cause of this? What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Your child's stool contains blood streaks, and there are many reasons, but the most common cause is enteritis. It is recommended that you first check your baby's anus to see if there is any anal fissure. If there is none, it is best to take your baby to the hospital to check the stool to see if there is enteritis, and then treat it accordingly based on the specific situation. You can have an endoscopy examination in the gastroenterology department of the hospital. If it is confirmed, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene in daily life.
