Bright red blood in stool, no anal pain

Bright red blood in the stool and no anal pain may be caused by common causes such as hemorrhoids, intestinal polyps or anal fissures. It may also be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding or other diseases. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a clear diagnosis. The following is an analysis and guidance from the cause to the treatment method.

1 Possible Cause

Hemorrhoids: Internal hemorrhoids are the most common cause of bright red blood in the stool, especially internal hemorrhoids, which are usually painless and cause rupture and bleeding due to force during defecation or friction of feces.

Intestinal polyps or enteritis: Some intestinal polyps may cause a small amount of bright red bleeding when squeezed by feces, often accompanied by changes in bowel movement frequency or abnormal stool shape. Some enteritis such as ulcerative colitis can also cause similar symptoms.

Special cases of anal fissures: Although common anal fissures are often accompanied by pain, minor fissures may only cause bright red bleeding and may not necessarily cause obvious pain.

Other diseases: Possibilities such as rectal tumors, infectious lesions, and parasitic problems need to be further investigated.

2 How to deal with and treat

Determine the cause: A clear diagnosis is the key. Colonoscopy or anal examination should be performed to check for polyps, inflammation or tumors, especially in high-risk groups such as those with a family history or other abnormal symptoms.

Drug treatment targeting:

Hemorrhoids can be treated with mild hemorrhoid ointments such as Mayinglong Hemorrhoid Ointment to relieve local congestion.

If it is caused by inflammation, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs such as mesalazine under the guidance of a doctor to treat ulcerative colitis.

Bleeding with severe anemia can be relieved by topical hemostatics such as rectal suppositories.

Lifestyle and dietary intervention: Keep bowel movements smooth, increase dietary fiber in the diet, and it is recommended to consume oats, brown rice, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc.; avoid spicy food, drink water in moderation, about 2000 ml per day.

Reasonable exercise: Avoid sitting for long periods of time. It is recommended to walk briskly for 30 minutes every day to relieve anal pressure, improve blood circulation, and prevent hemorrhoids from worsening and developing.

Severe cases of surgical intervention: If there is persistent severe blood in the stool or accompanied by other symptoms such as weight loss and discomfort, surgical intervention such as hemorrhoidectomy or intestinal polypectomy may be required. It is suitable for patients with clear lesions.

Bright red blood in the stool should be taken seriously, as such symptoms may indicate a more complex health problem. Whether it is hemorrhoids or other conditions, seeing a doctor as soon as possible is key to identifying the cause and developing a treatment plan. Remember not to ignore any accompanying physical abnormalities, such as long-term abdominal pain or weight loss, which indicate that you need to act faster.
