Many parents encounter bleeding stools in children, and many parents are at a loss when it comes to this problem. The anorectal doctors at Yangzhou Women’s and Children’s Hospital point out that children’s bleeding stools are not as simple as adults’ blood in the stool, and that multiple causes must be considered in order to treat the condition. What’s going on with your child’s bleeding stool? 1, Merkel diverticulum: this is a congenital intestinal malformation, is due to abnormal development and the formation of sacs on the intestinal wall, mostly seen in children within two years of age. Blood in the stool is characterized by sudden large amounts of blood in the stool, first black and then red. 2, anal fissure: anal fissure is a fissure at the edge of the anal opening, mostly seen in infants and children around two years old. The blood in the stool is characterized by a little blood at the anus, and at the same time they have painful defecation, and when the child solves the stool will cry and upset, and the stool is dry and hard. Anal fissures can induce anal fistula if not handled properly. 3, acute necrotizing enteritis: acute necrotizing enteritis blood in the stool is characterized by red bean soup, wash water-like, fishy smell, accompanied by high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms, and in serious cases, shock. 4, acute intussusception: intussusception is one of the most aware of acute abdominal disease in infancy, mostly seen within two years of age, especially 4-10 months of age infants. The blood in the stool is characterized by jam-like stools. The child may have bouts of crying and vomiting due to abdominal pain. The early stage of intussusception is treated by air enema and reset, but if the condition is advanced, it can only be treated by surgery. 5, rectal polyps: rectal polyps is one of the most common causes of pediatric blood in the stool, mostly seen in children aged 3-6 years. Blood in the stool is characterized by fresh blood at the end of defecation, small amount, not mixed with feces. A polyp usually grows on the mucosa of the intestinal wall as a lump with a tip, usually the size of a soybean or fava bean. If there is more than one polyp (multiple), surgery should be performed. Diverticula are located at the end of the ileum and can bleed from ulceration because they may contain foreigners’ gastric motility membrane or pancreatic tissue. If bleeding is most frequent, it can cause shock, and repeated blood in the stool can lead to anemia. What should I do if my child has bleeding stools? 1, let the child lie on his back in bed, massage with the right hand palm root close to the abdominal muscle, from the right upper abdomen – left upper abdomen – right lower abdomen direction while soft side push. This direction repeatedly, the technique should not be too heavy, each lasting about ten minutes, 2-3 times a day, until the constipation improved. Then continue for 1-2 weeks to consolidate the effect of treatment. Abdominal rubbing can promote abdominal gastrointestinal blood circulation, increase intestinal peristalsis, not only can make the stool smooth, and can enhance appetite. As long as the stool situation improves, the anal fissure can heal itself. 2. Treatment will be implemented according to the specific cause, but if the blood in the stool is caused by an anal fissure, the most important solution is to keep the child’s stool from drying out. If the diet is inadequate, the doctor may prescribe some mild laxatives and also some anesthetic emulsions to relieve the pain from the fissure. It is important to stop the pain, otherwise it may lead to constipation. 3. If you are a little constipated, you can suggest using a little bit of corkage. Give your baby more fruit puree, preferably with electric plum water again very effective, add some roughage to your baby will also. If after the regulation of food or no effect, I suggest buying the baby a few times with the open plug, to help regulate the baby, or in the future on food conditioning should be better. 4, if slight, the mother first do not rush to the baby with drugs, every day to drink more warm water, you can add milk mate in the boiling water, adjust the diet structure, appropriate control of protein intake, etc., eat more fruits, vegetables and other foods with high vitamin content. For example, leeks, and potatoes, the effect is good.
