Patient's question:
My baby is 12 days old. The day before yesterday, I noticed some black in their stool. Yesterday, I went to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed some digestive aids. Today, I found a little blood in the stool. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Bleeding from the digestive tract is excreted through the intestines, resulting in bloody stools or complete bloody stools, which can be bright red, dark red, or black like tar. The color of blood in the stool depends on the location of bleeding, the amount of bleeding, and the time the blood stays in the digestive tract. I don't know what tests you've had done? Bloody stools are generally categorized as bright red stools, tar-like stools, and occult blood stools. Common diseases include hemorrhoids and anal fissure bleeding. It is best to undergo testing before treatment.
