What is the cause of anal bleeding in children's stool?

Blood in the baby's stool is often more serious, and the most common cause is anal fissure. After all, the baby's development is not mature enough, and the local sphincter is not fully developed. Once the stool is dry, it will cause local bleeding symptoms.

Three major causes of anal fissure in children

Immaturity: Because the baby's anal sphincter is not fully developed, the contraction and relaxation coordination is not perfect, or the child has diarrhea and the stool is ejected forcefully, it may cause anal damage, resulting in a small amount of blood in the stool.

Baby's diet: For example, for bottle-fed babies, if parents fail to add fiber-rich complementary foods in time, the baby's stool will become dry and hard and difficult to pass, causing constipation in the child. If the child strains to defecate, the hard feces will force their way through the anal canal and cause deep lacerations in the anal canal skin.

Daily care: Using rough toilet paper on the baby and rubbing it hard may cause damage to the baby's delicate skin.
