Patient's question:
A three-year-old baby has constipation with blood in the stool. It's said to be internal hemorrhoids, but the stool is deformed. Seeking advice on digestive issues: the baby has had a bowel movement every three or four days since one year old.Doctor's answer:
A chronic condition where one or more soft venous clusters are formed due to the recurrent varicosation of the venous plexus at the anal rectal bottom and anal mucosa. Typically, persistent straining during bowel movements causes repeated fluctuations in venous pressure, leading to swelling of the veins. For your baby's condition, it is recommended to seek timely and early medical screening at the hospital with targeted tests. Additionally, maintain good hygiene and avoid consuming spicy foods that may affect the condition. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, and digestive vitamins while avoiding spicy foods.
