Blood discharge from the anus, stool, or are all bloody stool, the color was bright red, dark or tarry, and are referred to as the blood in the stool. Blood in the stool usually found in lower gastrointestinal bleeding, especially colon and rectal bleeding, but occasionally seen in upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The color of blood in the stool depends on the site of gastrointestinal bleeding, bleeding and blood in gut residence time. Blood in the stool with skin, cats, film or other organs, bleeding, more common in patients with blood diseases and other systemic diseases. Such as leukemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, etc., below the Treitz ligament digestive tract (including jejunum and ileum, colon and rectum) parts of the lesions caused by the bleeding, that is, lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
Blood in the stool - signsBlood in the stool, gastrointestinal bleeding (less than 500ml), you can soon be the body compensatory without causing obvious symptoms; when bleeding more than more than 800 ~ 1000ml, especially in the shorter term is lost, may have dizziness , fatigue, palpitations, pulse rate, blood pressure, pale skin, the performance of the more severe cases, shock performance. The above performance prompted for the bleeding. Bleeding patients, when symptoms, dizziness, cold sweats, heart palpitations, pale skin, pulse and blood pressure remained at normal levels prompted bleeding has stopped. When the upper gastrointestinal tract lesions bleeding, such as the large amount of bleeding, fast, short residence time of blood in the intestine can also be manifested dark anal discharge, and even fresh red blood, this situation is also easy with the lower digestive tract lesions bleeding confuse these two kinds of situations must be identified.Blood in the stool - the cause ofBlood in the stool caused by disease of blood in the stool [1] In accordance with the nature of bleeding lesions, will be the cause of blood in the stool of classified into five categories.Inflammation, ulcerative factors are as follows gastrointestinal mucosal inflammation or ulceration, mucosal congestion, edema and ulcer formation, erosion of blood vessels or increased vascular permeability, inflammation or ulceration of the small blood vessels rupture can occur throughout the blood in the stool. The common diseases are:(1) intestinal infectious diseases: bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, fungal enteritis, pseudomembranous colitis, intestinal tuberculosis, colonic tuberculosis, small intestine, hookworm infection, colonic schistosomiasis, hemorrhagic necrotizing go far .(2) inflammatory bowel disease: Crohn's disease (Crohn's disease) or ulcerative colitis.(3) The radioactive colon, proctitis: mostly the pelvic malignant lesions treated with radiotherapy after local intestinal mucosal damage resulting in bleeding that often appears repeatedly, a small amount of blood in the stool.(4) ischemic colitis: more common in elderly patients with atherosclerosis, due to the mesenteric blood supply barriers to leaving the intestinal mucosal ischemia, ulceration due. Lesions in the colon more common clinical manifestations of severe abdominal pain after the solution dark red or bright red bloody stools.(5) of Behcet's disease (Behcet'sdisease): etiology of this disease is unknown, many considered to be immune vasculitis caused by the occlusion of blood vessels, leading to intestinal blood supply ulcerative disease caused by blood in the stool changed; Some scholars believe that the disease is associated with infection or genetic . Ulcers in the ileocecal by the most common, and prone to bleeding.(6) rectal solitary ulcer: the reason to cause such ulcers is not very clear, but the ulcers, erosion of blood vessels can cause bleeding.Colon (7) of stress ulcer: In recent years, found that taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can lead to blood in the stool, or even for bleeding, and more common in elderly patients. Inflammation, ulcerative lesions is a common cause of blood in the stool. Inflammation and ulceration of the majority of the rectum and sigmoid colon can cause the mucus pus and blood will; severe ulcerative colitis, the schistosome granuloma can cause the blood will; amoebic dysentery, a common cause of the jam color or dark red bloody stools; a small number of intestinal tuberculosis or Crohn's disease can be bleeding; hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis often discharge of dark, red or watery stools to wash the meat. In short, then blood and color, often with lesion size, location and bleeding speed.Department of bleeding, (2) vascular factors, vascular lesions of lower digestive tract, causing blood vessels to rupture or cause due to mesenteric ischemia, intestinal mucosal blood supply. The common causes are:(1) moving poor venous malformations and vascular development: gastrointestinal intestinal angiodysplasia, malformed vascular lesions caused by bleeding in the past 10 years, attention has become one of the important cause of blood in the stool. Can be divided into:① cavernous hemangioma.② intestinal mucosal angiodysplasia.③ vascular malformations. Approximately 70% of the lesions in the colon, especially the right colon or cecum common. A small number of vascular malformations in the small intestine. Blood in the stool(2) hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Ronda-Osier-Weber syndrome): This syndrome can occur in the whole digestive tract, such as prone to bleeding in the small intestine. Rare, the disease is a familial genetic disease.(3) Dieulafoy disease: The lesions occur in the stomach by the most common and the event in the small intestine or colon can cause blood in the stool. The disease is more common in elderly patients, bleeding due to submucosal blood vessels by inflammatory stimulation of the ulcers rupture caused.(4) of the rectum, colon and small intestine mucosa, varicose veins: patients with portal hypertension, collateral circulation, a very small number of patients back to the vein in the colonic mucosa can occur varicose, such as rupture can cause bloody stools. Line splenectomy and gastric fundus blood vessel cross-sectional surgery, the veins in the intestinal mucosa more prone to varicose.(5) long-distance or endurance athlete, blood in the stool: In recent years the disease increasing number of incentives to long-distance or endurance athletes such as marathon and other long-distance runner, in addition to a small number can cause the bones, muscles and heart disease, the occurrence of gastrointestinal lesions has been reported, can be expressed as the blood in the stool, blood in the stool of reasons in addition to rupture, with hemorrhoids, and abdominal visceral impact, vibration and blood redistribution lead to intestinal ischemia (immediately found blood in the stool athletes colonoscopy can be found in the intestinal mucosal hyperemia with erosion hemorrhage and formation change).(6) Wegener granulomatosis disease: Department of unexplained systemic vascular inflammatory disease, often with the nasopharynx, lung disease and necrotizing glomerulonephritis. The disease can sometimes involving the gastrointestinal tract, small intestine or colon ischemia, hemorrhage, and severe cases, intestinal perforation.(7), mesenteric vascular ischemic lesions can be seen in:① mesenteric vascular spasm.② mesenteric venous thrombosis.③ mesenteric artery embolism.(4) ischemic colitis. Mesenteric ischemia lesions may be due to shock, atherosclerosis, intravascular meningitis or secondary to associated with atrial fibrillation, heart disease (ischemic colitis in inflammation, ulcerative factors already referred to).Abdominal aortic aneurysm (8): If the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm perforation of the small intestine or colon, can lead to lower gastrointestinal bleeding.(9) inside and outside the formation of hemorrhoids: internal and external hemorrhoids bleeding, more than for fecal surface of blood after blood. But a few cases, internal hemorrhoids, blood can accumulate in the rectal ampulla, when the blood first discharge can be expressed as the solution dark red or bright red blood will. Hemorrhoids bleeding is one of the common cause. Blood in the stool.
Mechanical factors(A) jejunal diverticulum: bleeding is caused by inflammation of the diverticulum.(2) colonic diverticulitis or diverticular disease: multiple diverticula of the colon in the United States and Europe has become one of the important causes of blood in the stool, but rare in China colon with multiple diverticula.(3) diverticulum of Meckel (Meckel 's): occurred in the distal ileum, 70% to 85% of patients may be asymptomatic, but the most common manifestations of symptomatic hemorrhage.(4) intussusception or volvulus: intussusception occur in infants less than 10 years of age, more than 60% of adult intussusception secondary to multiple intestinal polyps or intestinal tumors. Erzhi bleeding the volvulus too long, the intestinal blood flow obstacle.(5) of the ileocecal valve prolapse: a few cases, such as the ileocecal valve prolapse, can cause bleeding occurred incarcerated.(6) colon endometriosis: endometrial tissue differences in the colonic mucosa, when the female patients with menstrual cramps can occur, bloody stools, blood in the stool when the end of the menstrual cycle ceases.(7) anal fistula and anal fissure: a few cases of anal fistula and anal fissure can cause bleeding, but generally little amount of bleeding.(8) colonoscopy line after polypectomy, small intestine or colon surgery: polypectomy, such as inadequate coagulation, surface bleeding can lead to coagulation. Intestinal surgery, bleeding is not full can also be bleeding.4 tumor factors, gastrointestinal benign and malignant tumors more, is one of the important cause of the cause of bleeding.(1) benign:① colon polyps: familial adenomatous polyposis, Gardner syndrome, Turcot syndrome, juvenile polyposis and melanin spots - multiple polyposis of the gastrointestinal tract (PJ syndrome), hyperplastic polyposis, inflammatory polyps . An important cause of blood in the stool.② small intestine leiomyoma, neurofibroma, and other, less common.(2) malignant tumors:① intestinal lymphoma: sometimes bleeding.② small bowel adenocarcinoma: rare.③ the small intestine, large intestine carcinoid tumors: cause of bleeding is rare.④ colon, rectal cancer: Is one of the common cause of lead to blood in the stool, but generally small amount of bleeding.(5) systemic disease(1) infectious diseases: typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis, severe hepatitis or fulminant hepatic failure.(2) blood diseases: hemophilia, the abdominal allergic purpura (Henoch purpura), gastrointestinal malignant histiocytosis disease.(3) connective tissue disease: nodular polyarteritis (colon nodular periarteritis), systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis involving the intestinal tract.(4) Other: such as severe sepsis, food poisoning, mercury poisoning, uremia can cause blood in the stool. In general, young children, teenagers blood in the stool, colon polyps, intussusception, Meckel diverticulum, and inflammatory diseases for the common cause; in elderly patients while inflammatory bowel disease, colon cancer, intestinal vascular The lesion is more common cause; perianal lesions such as hemorrhoids, anal fissure or fistula in the adult should not be overlooked.Blood in the stool - the physiologicalBlood in the stool. Digestive diseases(1) anal diseases: hemorrhoids bleeding is due to increased intra-abdominal pressure during defecation, leading to hemorrhoid venous plexus blood pressure, direct and hard fecal abrasions to the hemorrhoids rupture caused. Anal fissure visible pinworm infection in children cause perianal itching, scratch the infection and the formation of severe pain associated with blood in the stool during defecation, and low red. Anal fistula most often secondary to anorectal abscess, a small number of secondary intestinal tuberculosis. Around the anus, perineum, or the sacrococcygeal visible anal mouth, squeezing around the outflow of pus from the fistula.(2) inflammatory bowel disease: acute bacillary dysentery, acute hemorrhagic necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal tuberculosis, ulcerative colitis, etc., are caused by different causes in different parts of the intestinal mucosa congestion, edema, erosion, ulcer bleeding even necrosis. Manifestations of pus and blood, the blood will be even blood will.(3) of intestinal cancer: colon, rectum, small intestine, malignant lymphoma, or cancer tissue ulceration or lymphoma tissue ulceration, and the performance of the bright red blood will bloody stools with mucus and pus. Benign tumors of the small intestine, such as less bleeding, small bowel neurofibroma, leiomyoma, adenoma, etc., but larger tumors, can cause intestinal obstruction. Intestinal hemangioma infection, rupture can cause acute bleeding.The lower digestive tract vascular lesions of the superior mesenteric artery embolism or mesenteric arterial and venous thrombosis formation, volvulus, intussusception due to intestinal mucosal ischemia, necrosis, shedding, intestinal cyanosis, edema and serous exudate, full-thickness bowel wall necrosis , a large number of bloody fluid leakage may occur diarrhea discharge of dark red bloody stools.
