Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's wrong, my bowel movements often have blood in them. My wife even teases me that I'm having my period. Did I eat something wrong that caused this, or am I sick with something? But it seems like my body isn't uncomfortable, and my wife can't notice anything unusual?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of blood in the stool is hemorrhoids. It cannot be ruled out that it may be related to conditions such as intestinal inflammation or anal fissures. Therefore, it is necessary to visit the gastroenterology department for a follow-up examination and undergo a thorough check-up to confirm the diagnosis. If it is indeed hemorrhoids, oral medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, combined with topical medication for treatment. Daily sitz baths with warm water should be used, and it is important to maintain regular bowel movements while avoiding smoking and drinking beer.
