What diseases are easily confused with hemorrhoids? Rectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in middle-aged and elderly people, because the cancer site is mostly in the middle and lower rectum, the early stage of the disease also shows a small amount of blood in the stool. However, when some people find blood in stool, they mistakenly think that hemorrhoids are playing a role, thus neglecting the early detection of rectal cancer and delaying the good opportunity of treatment. Rectal cancer blood in stool is mostly dark red or jam-colored, accompanied by changes in stool habits, such as diarrhea, increased frequency of stool, urgency and heaviness, mucus stool and feeling of incomplete stool. Anal finger examination is easy and painless, and is the main method for early diagnosis. If the disease is diagnosed, early surgery should be performed. Rectal polyps are bulging lesions on the surface of the rectal mucosa that protrude into the intestinal cavity, mostly in children. However, the blood in the stool is usually not much, often stained outside the stool, and a red cherry-shaped polyp can come out of the anus during defecation, which can bleed easily when touched, and the polyp can return on its own after the stool, so it can be distinguished from hemorrhoids. This disease should be treated surgically. Anal fissures mostly occur in patients with chronic constipation. Because the stool is dry and hard, the skin of the anal canal is fractured during defecation due to excessive force, and fresh blood can be seen on the surface of the stool, on the stool paper or dripping out in small amounts. However, severe pain at the anus during and after defecation is the main characteristic of anal fissure, so it can be distinguished from hemorrhoids. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the colon characterized by extensive ulceration of the colonic mucosa of unknown origin. The main clinical manifestations are abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool and mucus stools. The diagnosis can be confirmed by colonoscopy. Therefore, people must eliminate the wrong view of “blood in the stool is hemorrhoids”, if you find unexplained bleeding in the stool, it is best to go to a regular hospital for detailed consultation, early and clear diagnosis, and timely and effective treatment.
