Blood is discharged from the anus, with stools containing blood or completely blood-stained, with colors ranging from dark red, bright red, or tarry. This is called rectal bleeding. The color of rectal bleeding depends on the location of gastrointestinal bleeding, the amount of bleeding, and the time the blood stays in the intestines. Rectal bleeding is generally seen in lower gastrointestinal bleeding, especially bleeding from the rectum and colon, but occasionally it can be seen in upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Rectal bleeding accompanied by bleeding from the skin, mucous membranes, or other organs is often seen in blood system diseases and other systemic diseases, such as leukemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Rest is important for rectal bleeding, and avoiding fatigue is advised. The diet should consist of soft and easily digestible foods with minimal residue and irritation, and smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods should be avoided.
In children, rectal bleeding is often caused by rectal polyps, with bright red blood, painless, and blood not mixed with stools. In adults, rectal bleeding is often caused by anal fissures, anal fistulas, hemorrhoids, colon polyps, rectal polyps, colon cancer, rectal cancer, bacterial dysentery, etc., most of which fall into the category of gastroenterology diseases and should be paid attention to in order to receive timely and appropriate treatment.
