Patient's question:
What is the reason for blood in the stool and frequent diarrhea? I often have pain on the left side of my navel. What kind of assistance is needed: What are these symptoms and what disease is it? Is it serious? Is it important?...Doctor's answer:
Hematochezia, hemafecia, and bloody diarrhea are characterized by blood in the stool or fresh bleeding after defecation. This condition is commonly seen in peptic ulcers of the upper gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal polyps, small intestinal ulcers, tumors, perianal diseases causing bleeding, as well as many blood disorders, acute infections, medications, parasites, etc. Here, it refers to hematuria caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal sinusitis, or mucosal damage of the rectum and colon. The stool is soft and formed or consists of lumps, with fresh blood adhering to the surface. In some cases, blood appears before or after defecation. The blood is mostly bright red, but it can also be dark red and turbid. When the blood volume is large, it drips uncontrollably, and post-defecation anal pain may occur.Hello, please pay attention to the following matters in daily life:
(1) Develop the habit of regular bowel movements, with loose, pudding-like stools being ideal.
(2) Increase postures that enhance abdominal pressure, such as squatting or holding your breath. Avoid prolonged sitting, standing, walking, or excessive fatigue.
(3) Avoid spicy, greasy, rough, or high-fiber foods, as well as smoking, alcohol, and coffee.
(4) Consume foods that have a laxative effect, nourish the intestinal mucosa, and clear intestinal heat, such as pear juice, lotus root juice, water chestnut juice, reed root juice, celery juice, carrots, white radishes (meat), bitter gourd, eggplant, cucumber, spinach, daylilies, cabbage, egg yolks, apples, figs, bananas, black sesame seeds, walnuts, and white fungus.
(5) Maintain a cheerful mood and avoid frustration or anger. A narrow-minded, irritable, or depressed state can cause intestinal mucosal constriction and poor blood circulation.
(6) Increase sexual activity, as excessive frequency can lead to congestion and irritation of the intestinal mucosa.
Finally, wish you good health.
