Patient's question:
My daughter is now 53 days old. Since the 23rd day, I noticed small blood spots the size of matchsticks in her stool. Sometimes there are a few spots, and sometimes just one. It comes and goes. I took her to the hospital for a check-up. Due to the umbilical cord being wrapped around her neck at birth, she developed aspiration pneumonia. She was hospitalized immediately after birth and received anti-inflammatory injections. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to be hospitalized for hemostatic treatment. Barium enema X-ray examination can be performed. This method does not cause damage. It can also help identify conditions in the large intestine to rectum. There are many reasons for blood in the stool. Hemorrhoids are one of them. Some internal hemorrhoids may not be visible externally, or they could be intestinal polyps. Rectitis or anal sinusitis. Intestinal tumors, etc. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination before treatment for better outcomes.
