Stool with blood after constipation, how to treat?
In the event that when emptying the intestine in a person with constipation is bleeding, therapeutic measures should be performed as prescribed by the doctor, and under his constant supervision. All patients with this symptomatology are interested in what needs to be done to eliminate it in the shortest possible time. Specialists recommend that when adults after a constipation bleed from the anus or have her drops or clots in the stool, and her traces constantly remain on paper after going to the toilet, first of all start struggling with the difficulties of bowel movement and the restoration of a normal stool. Softening the contents of the intestine will facilitate the exit of the emptying of the intestine and prevent further trauma to the mucosa.
If during constipation the blood goes quite often, special attention should be paid to the diet. Diet with constipation should be very gentle. The basis of the diet is recommended to make dishes rich in plant fibers. This will help soften the stool and prevent damage to the inner surface of the intestine, which in turn will prevent the appearance of bloody discharge.
Cal with blood after constipation, especially when the discharge is scarlet, suggests that the intestinal mucosa is injured directly near the anus. Such a symptomatology may indicate that an adult has a hemorrhoidal node. This is also indicated by the fact that after the constipation there are bright scarlet traces of blood on toilet paper. If there are such signs, do not panic much. Get rid of a crack on the rectum or hemorrhoids quickly enough to help the proctologist.
When Dr. Komarovsky gives the best advice on eradicating pathology in case of constipation in the stool, not the adult, but the child, the blood is given. Small bloody discharge from the anus in children occurs if they have no serious medical history. Komarovsky, the most experienced pediatrician, whose advice is listened to by all parents without exception, recommends that you contact a specialist when changing the color of the child's feces to a dark one, due to disturbances in his consistency of faeces( constipation or diarrhea), if it is for certain that this was not affected by nutritional factors. That is, the baby did not eat the day before the products or medicines that can stain feces in dark colors.
Also, according to Komarovsky, a visit to the doctor is also necessary when the child during a constipation not only has blood from the anus, but there is a significant increase in temperature, as well as loss of activity by the baby and his general weakness, drowsiness. All other cases of bowel dysfunction with a change in the color of stool can be easily eliminated by adjusting the diet. In order not to make a mistake with selecting the right menu for the baby and identifying those products that fix and stain the feces in a dark color, you should consult a district pediatrician.
