Although pregnant women will have various pregnancy reactions during pregnancy and there will be certain changes in their physical fitness, black stools during pregnancy are not a normal pregnancy reaction. This may be caused by digestive system diseases, blood diseases, other systemic infections, food or medication effects. Below, we will explain in detail the actual reasons for black stools during pregnancy and constipation during pregnancy. If you eat animal blood, liver and more meat products, or take iron and carbon supplements, your stool may be black. In the former case, the occult blood test of the stool may be positive. Common causes of black stool include the following: 1. Digestive system diseases: The most common cause of bloody stools, including esophageal varices, esophageal foreign bodies, ulcer disease, acute gastritis, gastric mucosal prolapse, intussusception, exudative necrotizing enteritis, strangulated intestinal obstruction, Meckel's diverticulum, intestinal polyps, anal fissures, etc. 2. Blood diseases: neonatal polyuria, hemophilia, sepsis, aplastic anemia, low platelets and allergic purpura, etc. 3. Other systemic infectious diseases: such as sepsis, typhoid fever, etc., newborn babies swallowing blood from the mother's birth canal or nipple rupture, blood from the nose, throat, and gums, etc. 4. Influence of food or medication: Some food and medication can also cause changes in stool color, which can sometimes be easily confused with blood in the stool. For example, eating a lot of melons and tomatoes in summer can make the stool red, the stool of anemic children can turn black after taking iron supplements, and the stool color can also turn black after eating animal blood. These changes in stool color caused by food and medication do not belong to blood in the stool. If you can't tell for sure, please see a doctor for a check-up. |
