Blood in stool during pregnancy

If a normal person has blood in his stool, it will cause great concern to the patient, because blood in the stool is not only related to the health of the anus, but also to the gastrointestinal health of the human gastrointestinal system. Not to mention that women who are three months pregnant will have greater concerns if they find blood in their stools, because any problems with the mother's body at this time will have a direct impact on the baby's health. In summary, the main reasons for bloody stools during the third month of pregnancy are as follows.

What causes blood in the stool of pregnant women?

1. It depends on whether you are bleeding before or after defecation. And what blood color looks like.

2. Blood is discharged from the anus and the stool is bloody or entirely bloody, and the color is bright red, dark red, or tarry, which is called blood in the stool. The color of blood in the stool depends on the site of gastrointestinal bleeding, the amount of bleeding and the time the blood stays in the intestine.

3. In case of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, if intestinal motility increases, brighter red stools may be discharged instead of tarry stools. When the small intestine bleeds, if the blood stays in the intestine for a long time, tarry stools may be discharged; when the amount of bleeding is large and the bleeding is discharged quickly, it will be dark red. When rectal bleeding occurs, fresh blood clots are often discharged because the blood stays in the intestine for a shorter time. When bleeding occurs in the upper colon, the blood and feces are often evenly mixed and appear maroon in color. When bleeding occurs from the sigmoid colon or rectum and anus, fresh blood often adheres to the surface of the formed stool. Blood dripping after defecation without blood mixed in the stool is often seen in internal hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc. But most of them have hemorrhoids, nine out of ten people have hemorrhoids.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when they have blood in their stools?

1. Since a variety of anorectal diseases can cause bloody stools, a targeted treatment plan can only be formulated after the specific cause of bloody stools is determined.

2. If you suffer from hemorrhoids during pregnancy, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and exercise more, and there will be no big problem. If it is serious, you have to go to the hospital.
