What should I do if I have blood in my stool after pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Sometimes bleeding after pregnancy, what is the reason? First follow-up question: I have hemorrhoids, but they are not very serious. Second follow-up question: Thank you, it's bleeding after defecation.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It's still hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are soft venous clusters formed by the expansion and congestion of venous plexuses in the submucosal and subcutaneous tissues of the rectal end and anal canal. They are classified into: internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoids, and mixed hemorrhoids. This condition is often caused by damp-heat accumulation, anal fissures, or external invasion of pathogenic factors, leading to poor blood circulation, blocked meridians, or blood stasis due to heat forcing blood downward, which fails to dissipate. The main symptoms include: a heavy and distended sensation, pain, blood in the stool, and a foreign body sensation. Generally, no treatment is needed. When hemorrhoids become inflamed and painful, you can use Maxinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment externally, or take antibiotics (such as erythromycin ointment) and heat-clearing and detoxifying medications (such as Huanglian Shangqing Pills or Niuhuang Jiedu Pian), especially in severe cases, appropriate antibiotics can be used. Pay attention to your diet and avoid spicy and fried foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
