Blood in the stool should be clearly identified as the cause of blood in the stool before choosing a treatment plan to stop the hemorrhage.
The appearance of blood in the stool indicates that the disease can be any part of the entire digestive tract. Most clinical considerations for blood in the stool are: 1) bleeding gastroduodenal ulcer; 2) bleeding esophageal varicose vein rupture; 3) bleeding gastrointestinal tumor; 4) bleeding ulcerative colitis; 5) hemorrhoids, etc.
There are some rare diseases that can cause blood in the stool in addition to the ones mentioned above, the most common of which is gastroduodenal ulcer bleeding. The most common is the bleeding of gastroduodenal ulcers, and the acute attack of gastric ulcers can result in vomiting blood and blood in the stool. For blood in the stool, we must go to a regular hospital to improve the routine stool, fiber optic electronic gastroscopy, fiber optic electronic colonoscopy, etc. The above tests can clarify the diagnosis of most blood in the stool, and for small intestine diseases, we can improve the abdominal CT and combine it with medical history to clarify the diagnosis.
After a clear diagnosis of the above-mentioned diseases, most options are available according to the patient’s condition: 1) conservative treatment; 2) surgical treatment. For bleeding gastric ulcers, conservative hemostatic treatment is available, or a major gastrectomy to remove the gastric ulcer is feasible, and for bleeding tumors, surgical removal of the tumor is mostly recommended.
