What is the reason for a two-month-old baby's bowel movements resembling fish eggs with blood streaks?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This is normal because the anal muscle and nerve tissues of a small baby have not yet developed well. They cannot control it themselves, so whenever they strain, they will pass stool. Moreover, the muscles around the baby's anus are particularly delicate. Even slight force can cause them to be scraped, bleed, and make the stool have a bit of blood. This is all normal and unavoidable. It will only improve once the child grows older and their development is complete.
