As the pace of life accelerates, people’s diets become increasingly irregular, and corresponding anorectal diseases frequently come to the door. Blood in the stool is a relatively common anorectal disease, but people often ignore its existence until the condition worsens before going to the hospital for treatment.
So, what are the factors that cause blood in the stool?
1, digestive tract disease digestive tract disease is one of the factors that cause blood in the stool.
Patients will have dark black blood on the stool when defecating, which may be caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding (upper gastrointestinal diseases such as stomach bleeding).
2, anal disease anal disease is one of the factors that cause blood in the stool.
Patients will have bright red blood on the stool during defecation, which may be caused by anal diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures and rectal polyps.
Intestinal cancer is one of the factors that cause blood in the stool.
Patients will have red blood drops attached to the stool, which may be caused by rectal cancer, rectal polyp cancer and other intestinal cancers.
What should we pay attention to in terms of diet?
1.Less spicy food
Patients with blood in stool should eat less spicy food such as chili, pepper, ginger, garlic and mustard. Because spicy food will stimulate the intestinal tract, aggravating the symptoms of blood in the stool.
2.Less smoking and drinking
Patients with blood in the stool usually have to smoke less and drink less. Because the nicotine and alcohol in cigarettes will stimulate the intestinal tract, aggravate the intestinal mucosa congestion, and thus aggravate the symptoms of blood in the stool.
3, eat more laxative food
Patients with blood in the stool can usually eat more pears, bananas, honey, sesame oil and other foods with laxative effect. Because these foods can lubricate the intestines, accelerate the discharge of feces, and thus relieve the symptoms of blood in the stool.
4, eat more food rich in crude fiber
Patients with blood in the stool can usually eat more corn, oats, soybeans, celery, bitter gourd, carrots and other foods rich in crude fiber. Because these foods can promote intestinal peristalsis, help the discharge of feces, and thus relieve the symptoms of blood in the stool.
Warm tip: blood in the stool is the “forecaster” of anorectal diseases, people should pay enough attention to it. If you find signs of blood in your stool, go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
