Blood in the stool can easily cause the body to lose a large amount of iron, causing iron deficiency anemia. Generally, it develops slowly. In the early stage, there may be no symptoms or mild symptoms. When the anemia is severe, there will be pale complexion, fatigue, loss of appetite, palpitations, rapid heart rate, flatulence and edema after physical activity. Some patients may even have neurological symptoms such as irritability, excitement, and irritability. What are the causes of sores and bloody stools?

Characteristics of blood in stool caused by hemorrhoids

1. Amount of bleeding. The amount varies. In mild cases, there is only bleeding in the stool, while in severe cases, there is bleeding from a few milliliters to more than ten milliliters each time. 2. Frequency of bleeding. In mild cases, bleeding occurs intermittently during bowel movements, while in severe cases, bleeding occurs every day during bowel movements. 3. Timing of bleeding. 4.

Visual observation shows that there may be hemorrhoids (tumors) protruding from the anus, or no hemorrhoids protruding from the anus

Minimally invasive treatment of hemorrhoids:

Fuzhou Heping Anorectal Hospital uses minimally invasive techniques such as PPH and HCPT to treat hemorrhoids.

(1) PPH minimally invasive surgery: that is, stapled hemorrhoidectomy, which is suitable for all types of hemorrhoids, especially patients with severe internal hemorrhoids and partial rectal mucosal prolapse. The principle is: retain the anal cushions, perform circular resection and anastomosis of part of the internal hemorrhoids and the mucosal and submucosal tissues above the hemorrhoids, and perform instant anastomosis at the same time. It not only blocks the blood supply to hemorrhoids, but also suspends and fixes the slipped tissue, restoring the pathological anal canal and rectum to its normal anatomical state.

(2) HCPPT minimally invasive surgery: It uses the principle of high-frequency capacitive electric field heat generation, designs and tests the instrument's oscillation frequency, output power, and treatment electrodes, and calculates the electrolytic constant and conductivity of hemorrhoidal tissue under the instrument, so that the treatment site can achieve tissue necrosis, dryness, and subsequent shedding in a relatively short period of time, achieving satisfactory results.

So when you find that you have hemorrhoids, you should go to a local regular hospital for treatment. Don't let hemorrhoids torture you and keep it away from your life. In daily life, you should also pay more attention to personal hygiene, don’t stay too long in public toilets or public bathrooms, in short, pay more attention to hygiene and adjust your diet.
