Occasional blood in the stool or intermittent blood in the stool during defecation is not considered normal, because normal defecation is not bloody. If there is bleeding in the stool, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations, usually mainly anoscopy and anal fingering examination. The most common causes of blood in stool are bleeding hemorrhoids and bleeding anal fissures, triggered mainly by excessive consumption of spicy and stimulating food, irregular living habits, which lead to rupture and bleeding of the intestinal mucosa, or due to dry bowel movements and excessive forceful defecation, the small local anal arteries are in a congested and dilated state, which can also lead to rupture and bleeding. For intermittent or occasional blood in the stool, you can choose to take Diyu Sophora Pills orally and apply Yunnan Baiyao hemorrhoid cream topically to stop the bleeding. If, in addition to blood in the stool, there is also pus or mucus, an electronic colonoscopy is needed to rule out the presence of inflammatory bowel disease.
