What does sticky blood in the stool mean?

If the patient has viscous blood in the stool, it may be due to inflammation or a tumor. The exact cause of the blood depends on the color of the blood. If the patient has bright red viscous bleeding, this condition is caused by the presence of internal hemorrhoids or anal fissures. This condition bleeds heavily and temporarily stays in the anal canal, causing a state of coagulation. Patients can determine the bleeding point through anoscopy and then treat it with Yunnan Baiyao capsules, as well as local use of medicinal powder to stop the bleeding. If the patient’s anal bleeding is dark red in color, the condition is caused by inflammation or tumors in the intestinal tract, and the diagnosis should be confirmed by electronic colonoscopy if necessary. There are many causes of sticky blood in the stool, so it needs to be examined and then treated. In addition to the above causes, there is a possibility that the sticky blood is caused by an abscess around the anus.
