Patient's question:
My relative has been experiencing blood in his stool for a long time now, bright red in color, and in large amounts. What could be the reason for this? Is it related to his lifestyle habits, such as his preference for spicy foods and beer consumption? What treatment options are available?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation you described—bleeding after a bowel movement—if the blood is fresh and combined with your daily diet, it is likely due to hemorrhoids. I recommend visiting a proctology department for examination. After diagnosis, you can use potassium permanganate for cleaning, apply hemorrhoid cream externally, and take Huaijiao pills orally for treatment. Pay attention to changing your dietary and lifestyle habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods that cause stomach upset, strictly prohibit alcohol consumption, maintain a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, keep bowel movements regular, and avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you good health!
