What are the reasons for inability to defecate and heavy bleeding?

Constipation has become a common symptom that troubles modern people. Many people suffer from worsening constipation and even have difficulty defecating and suffer from heavy bleeding. If your baby cannot defecate, it is very likely that he is constipated. When the stool is dry and difficult to pass, blood in the stool will appear. In severe cases, it may even cause anorectal diseases, which will eventually endanger his health. So what are the reasons why babies cannot defecate and bleed profusely?

Blood in the stool is discharged from the anus, and the stool may be bright red, dark red, or tarry (black stool), all of which are called blood in the stool. Blood in the stool is just a symptom, not a disease. Blood in the stool is more common in lower gastrointestinal bleeding, especially bleeding from colon and rectal lesions, but it can also be seen in upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The color of blood in the stool depends on the site of gastrointestinal bleeding, the amount of bleeding and the time the blood stays in the gastrointestinal tract. Blood in the stool accompanied by bleeding in the skin, mucous membranes or other organs is often seen in blood system diseases and other systemic diseases, such as leukemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, etc.

Digestive tract diseases

This is the most common cause of bloody stools in babies. Frequent foreign objects in the esophagus, acute gastritis, and shedding of the gastric mucosa can easily cause bloody stools in babies. This disease is a digestive tract disease and the baby must be taken to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Because this disease not only causes blood in the baby's stool, it may also affect the health of other parts of the body.

Blood problems

In fact, many infants and young children are diagnosed with hemophilia or leukemia when they are born, and the symptoms of this disease will also be manifested in the baby's stool. Therefore, generally speaking, infants and young children must be helped to undergo a full body check-up in a timely manner after birth to avoid the occurrence of these diseases.

Other infectious diseases

These infectious viruses can enter the baby's body through breast milk. For example, the fetus can easily swallow blood in the mother's birth canal, blood when the nipple is ruptured, and blood from bleeding gums. These can easily cause sepsis, typhoid fever and other diseases.

When a baby has problems with constipation and heavy bleeding, the most important thing is to adjust the baby's eating habits. The baby's diet should be light, with less snacks. Remember to give the baby enough water to ensure intestinal lubrication and smoother bowel movements. If your baby's constipation is severe, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
