Patient's question:
Just now at 2 PM, I went to the toilet to have a bowel movement. Yesterday it was almost the same time. When I used the paper to wipe, I found some blood, but only a small amount. There was also some blood in the stool, but it was very little. It hurts a bit when I have a bowel movement. I drink very little water regularly. Do I need to see a doctor? Could it be a serious condition?Doctor's answer:
Pain and blood during defecation suggest the occurrence of an anal fissure. Dry stools and prolonged defecation time can easily cause this issue. In the near future, you can consume more rough fiber foods to maintain smooth bowel movements and avoid spending too long in the toilet. You can also clean the anal area with warm water daily. Constipation is a common digestive system symptom, mostly related to poor lifestyle and dietary habits, as well as a lack of physical exercise. For your current condition, you can use methods such as abdominal heat compresses and massage to address it. It's important to engage in appropriate physical exercise, maintain a light diet, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
