Boltz The most common causes of bloody stools in boys are hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Hemorrhoids are usually painless red pus and blood in the stool, which can cause bleeding or spurting after the stool. Anal fissures usually cause severe pain, which subsides two hours after defecation. Hemorrhoids and anal fissures often co-exist, because the causes are basically related to long-term constipation, drinking, long sitting, standing for long periods of time, poor defecation habits, and may also be related to gastrointestinal tumors, intestinal polyps, colitis, etc.
Once blood in the stool occurs, you should go to the hospital immediately to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. For example, bleeding hemorrhoids can be treated conservatively first and treated with external application of Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment and Taining Suppository. If conservative treatment has no effect, immediate surgical treatment should be considered. If colonoscopy detects rectal cancer or polyps, immediate surgical treatment or endoscopic surgery should be considered.
There are many reasons why boys have bloody stools. First, it may be bleeding from hemorrhoids, especially internal hemorrhoids. The main symptom is blood retention or blood spurting during defecation. Blood in the stool is usually red.
Second, dry and hard stools may cause skin lacerations in the anal canal, causing blood stains on the surface of the excrement during defecation.
Third, if there are rectal polyps and rectal adenomas, long-term defecation irritation will cause blood vessels on the mucosal surface to rupture, which will also cause blood in the stool. Therefore, there are many reasons for boys having bloody stools. Medical records should be taken into consideration, including whether there are gastrointestinal ulcers and intestinal polyps. Together with physical examination, anoscopy or colonoscopy is required. If the stool is black, considering upper gastrointestinal bleeding, gastroscopy, duodenoscopy or colon capsule endoscopy can be performed to determine the cause and location of the bleeding.
