Question
Hello doctor,
Currently, when I go to the toilet, I often bleed. Every day, if the stool is hard, it is quite painful to go to the toilet. I looked at it and it looked like an open wound. The doctor asked me, what is the cause of the blood in the stool and what can I do to cure it?

Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of blood in the stool? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your condition of blood in your stool is likely that you have an anal fissure, which is mostly due to constipation with hard stools. In the immediate future, you should adjust your daily diet such as eating easily digestible processed foods, drinking enough water, eating green vegetables, avoiding constipation, reducing stress; abstain from stimulating foods such as beer, wine, coffee; eat less spicy foods such as chili, garlic, etc... You also need to drink enough 2 liters of water a day from many sources such as drinking water, soup, fruit juice etc...
If the condition is apple If constipation has not improved, you can use a short course of laxatives such as Duphalac, Forlax, .... In the evening you should soak the anus in warm water, sit in a pot of warm water at 37 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. If after 2 weeks of treatment, the symptoms do not go away, you should see a gastroenterologist for a direct examination and advice on the best treatment for you.
If you still have questions about blood in the stool, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
