Pregnant women have dry and hard stools with blood on the surface in autumn

Pregnant women must keep their bodies healthy so that they can ensure that the baby in their belly is also healthy. Therefore, if a pregnant woman has any abnormal condition, she should go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up in time. Some pregnant women have very dry and hard stools in autumn, and there are some blood on the surface of the stool. This may be caused by hemorrhoids in the pregnant woman. Let’s take a closer look below!

Anal fissure and bleeding caused by constipation or hemorrhoid bleeding are considered. Anal fissure is a common benign lesion of the rectum, mostly caused by long-term constipation. Symptoms include painful defecation and bleeding. Constipation is mostly caused by drinking too little water, untimely defecation, slow gastrointestinal motility and eating too greasy food, so dietary adjustment is needed in this case. It is recommended to eat more fiber-rich foods, such as whole grains, taro, sweet potatoes, bananas, leeks and celery, to promote bowel movements, drink more warm water, exercise more, and strengthen your body.

Bleeding is mainly caused by dry and hard stools, which lead to rupture and bleeding of blood vessels on the surface of the rectal mucosa and anal canal skin during defecation. During this period, the enlarged uterus of pregnant women compresses the rectum, causing difficulty in defecation. Therefore, you should have regular bowel movements, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables rich in fiber, increase your activities appropriately, and use an enema to stimulate intestinal peristalsis and promote defecation. Constipation is a common symptom, and its main etiology is unknown.

The treatment is mainly dietary adjustment. It is recommended to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and develop a good habit of regular bowel movements. It is recommended to take Dumic orally to relieve discomfort if necessary.

There are three possibilities for bleeding in the stool: First, if you feel pain in anal fissures, it is because the stool has accumulated for a long time and hardened, and is too large to cause fissures in the anus. Second, upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The stool caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding is tarry. Third, in case of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, the blood in the stool is slightly bright red, but if it is not discharged for too long, the originally bright red blood will turn dark! That is bleeding in the lower gastrointestinal tract, most likely bleeding in the large intestine.
