Why do women have blood in the toilet?

Blood in the stool is a symptom, not a disease. Common blood in the stool includes lower gastrointestinal bleeding, especially bleeding from lesions in the duodenum and sigmoid colon, or common upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, if blood in the stool occurs, the cause must be found out immediately. So, what is the reason why women have blood in the toilet?

1. Intestinal polyps and hemorrhoids

In adults, blood in the stool is often caused by hemorrhoids, intestinal polyps, rectal cancer, anal fissure, inflammatory bowel disease, anal fistula, etc.; in children, blood in the stool is mostly caused by intestinal polyps, which is painless, the blood in the stool is bright red, and the bowel movements and blood in the stool are not easily mixed. It may also be a blood disease, bacterial dysentery, intussusception, etc.

2. Digestive system diseases

Including gastrointestinal ulcers and inflammation, gastric varicose veins rupture and bleeding, esophageal varicose veins rupture and bleeding, polyps, cancer, sparganosis infection, dry and hard stools, anal fissures, intussusception, etc.

3. Diseases other than the digestive system

Take into account the symptoms of vitamin inattention, poisoning, blood diseases, acute infectious diseases, drug toxicity and side effects, etc.

What are the clinical symptoms of blood in the stool?

1. Occult blood in urine and stool

In the fecal occult blood test, a positive reaction is found in the urine or stool. Diseases that cause gastrointestinal bleeding can cause occult blood in the stool, which is common in inflammation, ulcers, and tumors. Doctor Tomato reminds that regular screening of urine for occult blood can detect colorectal tumors and intestinal polyps as early as possible.

2. Black stools

The common manifestation of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is black or dark brown stools, that is, tarry stools. The bleeding characteristics are that the bleeding speed is relatively slow, the blood waits for a long time in the intestine, and the bleeding is less. If the bleeding is heavy, the color of the discharged blood will also appear dark red.

The clinical symptoms of blood in stool include black stool and occult blood in urine, as well as thick blood/mucus blood in stool, fresh blood in stool, etc. If you pay attention to identification at ordinary times and find out the cause of bleeding through fecal occult blood test, you can use medication to treat it.
