I believe that in the chat, no one wants to "poop" in advance, let alone look down after defecation.
In fact, some people will find some blood in the stool when they defecate, which is called "blood in the stool".
Seeing the blood in the stool, I think the person concerned will definitely feel a psychological tightness.
Don't be nervous, today Doctor Xiaokang will explain to you what is "blood in the stool".
Blood in the stool is a relatively common symptom, such as when suffering from some gastrointestinal diseases or hemorrhoids, it will cause blood in the stool.
In addition, blood in the stool is also a major symptom of rectal cancer.
Therefore, when many people have blood in the stool, they cannot distinguish whether it is hemorrhoids or bowel cancer.
Below, let's take a closer look at how to distinguish between hemorrhoids or bowel cancer when the phenomenon of blood in the stool occurs, let's take a look at it.
When blood in the stool occurs, how to distinguish between hemorrhoids or rectal cancer?
1. Distinguish according to the bleeding situation
Whether it is hemorrhoids or rectal cancer, patients will have blood in the stool. However, the bleeding situation of the two is not the same.
If it is blood in the stool caused by hemorrhoids, then after the patient has defecated, there will be blood dripping from the anus, or there will be blood spurting, and there will be some bright red blood on the surface of the stool.
In the case of rectal cancer, because the bleeding site is located inside the intestine, blood is mixed in the stool.
And it is very likely that some tumor excisions will appear, which will make the stool mixed with some mucus. However, after defecation, there will be no dripping blood from the anus.
Second, judging according to symptoms
If it is blood in the stool caused by hemorrhoids, the patient will have different degrees of pain in the anus each time he has a bowel movement, and there will be hemorrhoids coming out of the entrance.
On a daily basis, the area experiences a series of discomforts such as dampness, pain, and itching and swelling. If you have rectal cancer, the patient's area will not show any discomfort.
Third, according to the color of the stool
In the case of hemorrhoids, the color of the stool hardly changes except for the act of blood in the stool.
However, if you have rectal cancer, the patient will excrete black or black-brown stools, which is a phenomenon caused by bleeding in the intestine and the oxidation and blackening of the blood.
Fourth, judge according to the habit of defecation
In the case of hemorrhoids, the patient's bowel habits do not change unless the patient has constipation or is infected with some intestinal inflammation.
But if you have rectal cancer, the number of bowel movements per day increases. Moreover, during defecation, there will also be a feeling of distension and incomplete defecation. Constipation, diarrhea, and alternating symptoms of constipation and diarrhea may also occur.
5. Judging by concomitant symptoms
After suffering from hemorrhoids, the patient does not have some discomfort except for a series of uncomfortable symptoms in the anus.
However, if you have rectal cancer, in addition to a series of changes in bowel movements, patients will also have problems such as emaciation, decreased appetite, abdominal distention, abdominal pain, indigestion or waist and abdominal pain.
All in all, if there is a phenomenon of blood in the stool, then it can be judged according to the above 5 points, and it is generally possible to roughly determine whether it is caused by hemorrhoids or rectal cancer.
In addition, if there will be some intestinal polyps, ulcerative enteritis, or stomach ulcers, stomach cancer and other diseases, it will cause blood in the stool, and accompanied by indigestion, repeated abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits and a series of problems.
Therefore, in the case of blood in the stool, it is necessary to quickly enter the hospital, and then treat according to the cause and corresponding treatment, in order to maximize the maintenance of their own health.
