Baby's stool occult blood weak positive

If the baby's stool shows weak positive occult blood, parents must pay more attention, because such test results are not good, and the specific cause needs to be found out in time before conditioning or treatment. If the baby's stool occult blood is weakly positive, it means that there is a problem with the body's internal digestion or anus, and relevant examinations and diagnoses are needed to avoid affecting health.

As parents, what we worry about most is our children's physical condition. When conducting a routine fecal occult blood test, if the baby's test report is found to be weakly positive, what does it mean? Let's take a look.

Fecal occult blood test is a method for measuring gastrointestinal bleeding, mainly used to detect small amounts of bleeding that are not visible to the naked eye. Also called o-benzidine method (OB). Fecal occult blood testing remains the most widely used and evaluated test in colorectal cancer screening today. The test is quick, simple, and painless.

A positive fecal occult blood test in an infant indicates that there is a very small amount of blood in the stool, which can often be caused by food interference, inflammation of the intestines themselves, etc.

During the test, we must first rule out food contamination. Lean meat, animal offal, animal blood, etc. can all interfere with the test results. If there is no food interference, the changes in the occult blood test may be due to intestinal damage in the baby, such as inflammation. In this case, it is best for parents to adjust the baby's food under the guidance of a doctor so that the symptoms can improve as soon as possible.

Generally, the amount of bleeding is small, and the toilet paper is mostly stained with blood. It is accompanied by severe anal pain during defecation. The pain is slightly relieved after defecation, and then starts to hurt severely again. The pain often lasts for several hours.
