Patient's question:
I have blood in my stool, and the stool and blood are separate. The first two times, it was just blood in the morning, but this time, it has been blood throughout the entire day. I want to consult about what this could be and what kind of help I need: What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Bleeding during bowel movements may be caused by hemorrhoids. If you have constipation or poor bowel habits, it could lead to skin breakdown again. In such cases, you can consider taking a sit bath with potassium permanganate solution for the anal area. If there is pain, you can apply hemorrhoid cream. If the skin breaks frequently, it's advisable to consult a proctology department. The symptoms of blood in the stool may be due to hemorrhoids, and a thorough examination in the proctology department can help confirm the diagnosis. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, prolonged squatting in the toilet, and maintain regular bowel movements. Local application of hemorrhoid cream can also be helpful.
