What to do if your child has blood in his stool

If a child has blood in the stool, parents will become very nervous, always afraid that their children will develop very complicated diseases that are difficult to cure. In fact, at this time, they should take their children to the hospital for relevant examinations in the early stage, so that the cause can be determined. In general, drug treatment can effectively improve the condition, and only a small number of children need surgical treatment.

1. Surgical treatment:

Sudden onset of massive bloody stools is a common emergency in colorectal and anorectal surgery. It can be life-threatening for elderly people who have been bedridden for a long time because they have many serious underlying diseases. The use of angiography will not only delay the treatment of bleeding and increase the mortality rate, but may also induce new bleeding. However, relatively simple and direct hemostatic methods such as suture, endoscopic titanium clip closure, thrombin enema, and compression can often achieve satisfactory results [2].

1. Hemorrhoids with blood in stool (internal hemorrhoids, mixed hemorrhoids): The "knife-free hemorrhoid removal technique" COOK hemorrhoid gun technique and intelligent PPH technique are used for treatment. Both have the significant characteristics of "minimally invasive, safe, painless, lightweight, and fast recovery".

2. Anal fissure bleeding: Use "anal repair therapy" and cooperate with drug fumigation.

3. Intestinal polyp bleeding: Use minimally invasive endoscopic removal to completely eliminate the disease and the root cause of bleeding.

4. Bleeding from colon and proctitis: Use immune repair therapy combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to comprehensively improve the body's immunity and eliminate the root cause of enteritis.

5. Blood in the stool due to intestinal malignant tumors: Use "painless and minimally invasive anal preservation surgery" to remove tumorous lesions while retaining the original function of the anus to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach.

(II) Prevention and treatment:

1. Reasonable diet: Don’t eat too refined food, eat more whole grains and other foods rich in fiber, do not overeat, prevent constipation, and facilitate smooth bowel movements.

2. Good bowel habits: squatting on the toilet should not be too long, generally about 10 minutes. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements to allow normal gastrointestinal motility and prevent venous blood obstruction and poor circulation.

3. Avoid eating spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, especially for patients who drink alcohol for a long time, as they are harmful to the liver in the body, so it is very necessary to quit drinking and smoking.

4. Keep the anus clean and wash it with warm water every day to prevent the anus from being too dry or wet.
