What is the reason for painful bleeding after childbirth?

Some mothers may experience anal pain and bleeding during bowel movements after delivery. This is mainly caused by hemorrhoids. It may also be caused by dry stools and lack of water in the body. Therefore, we recommend that mothers treat the cause of postpartum bowel pain. Let us now understand the causes of postpartum painful and bleeding bowels. I hope you can remember them.

The cause of the disease is mostly due to dry stool. The most common site of occurrence is behind or in front of the anus. Men, women, young and old can all suffer from this disease. Symptoms of anal fissure are pain and bleeding. The pain is very characteristic, with a sudden knife-like pain during defecation (caused by feces cutting the skin of the anal canal), followed by a brief relief, and then long-term anal pain (caused by spasm of the anal sphincter after stimulation).

The bleeding caused by anal fissures can be more or less depending on the degree of blood vessel tearing. It is common to see anemia due to long-term or heavy bleeding from anal fissures. If anal fissure is not accompanied by external hemorrhoids, anal canal stenosis, anal papilloma, etc., it can be cured through conservative treatment. If it is accompanied by these complications, surgery is required. There are many reasons for anal bleeding, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, rectal polyps, enteritis, and even colorectal cancer. The specific diagnosis can only be confirmed through anorectal specialist examination.

Blood in the stool is the main symptom of internal hemorrhoids, and early stage internal hemorrhoids often present with blood in the stool. The characteristic of internal hemorrhoid bleeding is that it occurs during defecation and stops bleeding after defecation, and the bleeding in the stool is often intermittent. The amount of blood is not much, but the blood is bright red, and some only stain the toilet paper. Most patients with internal hemorrhoids bleed dripping when defecating, and very few may have spurting bleeding, and heavy bleeding is occasionally seen.

Regarding the causes of postpartum bleeding in the stool introduced in this article, we recommend that mothers can take preventive measures during the confinement period, walk appropriately and arrange their diet reasonably. This will help you prevent the occurrence of hemorrhoids. At the same time, you should pay attention to eating more vegetables and foods that promote milk production.
