What reason is the baby's stool bloodshot?

There are many reasons for hematochezia, which can be symptoms of systemic diseases or local diseases of digestive tract, respiratory tract and oral cavity.

1. Many systemic diseases, such as hematological diseases, septicemia, vitamin deficiency and drug poisoning, can cause hematochezia with obvious primary symptoms.

2. Children with nosebleeds or tooth bleeding can also cause bloody stools after swallowing. Excretion of black stool or fecal occult blood is often a positive test.

3. Bloody stool is mostly caused by digestive tract diseases, such as peptic ulcer, enteritis, dysentery, intussusception, rectal polyp, anal fissure and so on. If bleeding occurs in the upper digestive tract or small intestine, the blood stays in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, and it will turn black under the action of gastric acid and intestinal bacteria, which is a tar stool. If there is bleeding in the colon, rectum and anus, the color is generally bright red.

Long-term, small amount and repeated hematochezia can cause anemia and malnutrition in children, while massive hemorrhage often leads to hemorrhagic shock, which is life-threatening.

Pay attention to prevention

Generally speaking, parents should pay attention to the baby's food hygiene, avoid bloody stool caused by bacterial or parasitic infection, and also pay attention to the baby's reasonable diet, have a regular life, develop the habit of regular defecation, and avoid peptic ulcer and anal fissure.

Ask a doctor for help.

1. The baby's blood can be expressed as bloody stool, red jam or black tar stool. If the latter two colors indicate more bleeding, you should take your baby to the hospital for examination immediately.

2. Because of the different causes of hematochezia, the location and amount of bleeding are also different, and some of them can bleed once, causing shock or even death; Repeated bleeding can also lead to chronic anemia. Parents should tell the doctor whether the baby has any other discomfort except bloody stool, and whether he has any blood system diseases or hepatobiliary diseases in the past.
