There are many causes of red jam-like stools, which may be caused by pigmentation of the diet on the one hand, or bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract that mixes with the stool to produce red jam-like stools on the other. The former case is mainly related to diet, while the latter case is mostly related to gastrointestinal lesions. Common causes and treatments are as follows: a. Inappropriate diet Recently, if too much food such as tomatoes, red dragon fruit, animal liver, animal blood products, etc. is consumed, if at this time indigestion or cold, it may lead to diarrhea, stools become thin and soft, due to red pigment, or red blood cell deposits into jam color. Usually no other discomfort, after resuming a normal diet, the stool color quickly returned to normal, such as color, form can not return to normal, need to do further examination to determine whether there are other gastrointestinal diseases. Second, the gastrointestinal tract infection 1, bacterial infection: such as hemorrhagic Escherichia coli, Salmonella and other pathogenic bacteria caused by enteritis, will cause intestinal mucosal tissue defects and thus bleeding, making the stool red and soft. This type of bleeding is usually accompanied by fever, abdominal pain, shortness of breath, fishy stools and other symptoms, usually choose piperacillin, ceftazidime, levofloxacin and other antibiotics for treatment, such as the effect is not obvious, but also need to carry out bacterial culture, according to the different types of bacteria to choose the appropriate antibiotics; 2, parasitic infection: such as amoeba protozoa, can lead to amoebic enteritis, amoebic dysentery, dark red jam-like stool, smell Fishy smell, clinical diagnosis can be confirmed by whether the trophozoite is found in the stool test, metronidazole, dichloronide and other drugs have a better therapeutic effect. Third, other diseases 1, intussusception: mostly in infants and children, occasionally in adults, from a section of the intestinal tube into the adjacent intestinal tube, compression of the mesenteric vessels, so that small intestine ischemia, intestinal mucosa necrosis and bleeding. Typical manifestations are red jam-like stools, which require timely medical attention to avoid delays, and surgery to push the intestinal tube back into place after diagnosis; 2, intestinal tumors: benign and malignant tumors of the large and small intestine, such as intestinal smooth muscle tumors, adenomas, inflammatory polyps, rectal cancer, etc., may cause mild to severe intestinal bleeding, benign tumors are usually surgically removed, and malignant tumors require radiation therapy or 3, perianal diseases: such as hemorrhoids, anal fistula, etc., usually the lesion will also bleed, resulting in red jam-like stool, mild cases can be conservatively observed, if repeated bleeding requires surgical treatment to eradicate the lesion. In summary, depending on the location of the lesion and the speed of bleeding, clinical symptoms are also different, such as normal diet, more than 2 days red jam-like stools, or the emergence of obvious dizziness, panic, cold sweat, cold limbs, shock and other symptoms, you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible for further examination and active treatment.
