What reason is infantile hematochezia

summary

The development of children's digestive and excretory organs is not perfect, and their ability to adapt to external food is also very poor. It's easy to have bloody stool. Let's share with you the reasons for this.

What reason is infantile hematochezia

Reason 1: anal fissure is the most common cause of hematochezia in children. More common in children about 2 years old, bloody stool is characterized by a little blood in the anus, accompanied by pain in defecation, children cry when defecating, stool is dry and hard. There are many causes of anal fissure, such as congenital anal stricture, anal tear when hard stool is drained, and anal injury or infection. If the child has anal fissure, if the parents do not find it in time or handle it improperly, the child is easy to have anal fistula. In terms of prevention and treatment, parents should often clean their children's anus, keep their anus clean and apply lubricating drugs, and eat more cellulose rich foods, such as papaya and bananas. If children don't like them, it's also good to put some honey on them.

Reason 2: rectal polyps, rectal polyps in 3-6 years old children. Hematochezia is characterized by blood at the end of defecation, small amount, not mixed with feces. Polyps usually grow on the mucosa of the intestinal wall, like a pedunculated keloid, usually the size of soybeans or broad beans. The polyp of low position, when defecate, can prolapse anus, resemble a red "meatball". If the child is a single rectal polyp, it can be cured by rectoscopic surgery. If there are multiple polyps, it is not necessary to cut them off in one operation, but should be divided into several operations.

The third reason: acute intussusception. Acute intussusception is more common in infants aged 4-10 months. Hematochezia is characterized by "jam like" stool, accompanied by paroxysmal crying, vomiting and abdominal mass caused by abdominal pain. Early (within 12 hours) found in children with general use of air enema reduction cure, late cases need surgical treatment.

As time goes on, the stool will be drier, and the child will not dare to pull, forming a vicious circle.
