Patient's question:
No.Doctor's answer:
When there is gastrointestinal bleeding, the blood does not mix with the stool, or only a few drops of blood are seen after defecation. Secondly, the age of the child must be considered. Most cases of blood in the stool in newborns are due to swallowing blood from the mother's birth canal or cracked nipples, or they may have neonatal natural hemorrhagic disease, hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis, gastrointestinal malformations, etc. In infants and young children, blood in the stool is more commonly seen in intussusception.
