1 Causes of the disease

As a rule, a person who has absolute health of such a symptom as blood after a stool should not be. If such a phenomenon is found, then, most likely, violations occurred in the human body, which must be identified and treated without fail.

Among the most common causes of the appearance of blood on toilet paper are:

• formation of anal fissures;
• proctitis;
• appearance of hemorrhoids;
• polyphony;
• colitis;
• diverticulosis;
• endometriosis of the uterus;
• oncology.

The hemorrhoidal nodes become the most frequent factor in the appearance of blood after defecation. In this case, the bloody traces are not mixed with the underlying stool, but are only on its surface.

Another common cause is the formation of anal fissures, which too, like hemorrhoids, present a lot of inconvenience to the patient and reduce the quality of his life.

The development of anal bleeding is often associated with the formation of polyps in the intestinal cavity. In addition, inflammation of the mucosa or infection of the intestine can also become provocateurs of the fact that in stools a person can notice blood veins.

Blood in the stool can also appear after constipation, when dense fecal masses, advancing in the intestinal cavity, injure it.

But surely the most dangerous cause of the appearance of blood on toilet paper can be considered oncological diseases related to the gastrointestinal tract.

2 Symptom of possible pathologies

To bloody secretions found in fecal masses, it is worth taking a closer look, because they can be evidence of diseases. But sometimes panic is sometimes superfluous if a person shortly before defecation ate foods that are capable of staining feces. It, first of all:

• tomato and juice from it;
• red fruit;
• beet;
• currant;
• pomegranate juice.

Binding that the causes of the appearance of traces of blood on toilet paper after defecation is quite a lot, and the blood itself may look different, we can conclude that the symptoms of a disease will be significantly different from all other pathologies.

So, for example, if you consider bloody discharge with anal fissures, then you can note the following: blood protruding from the anus, will not appear in large quantities. Its volumes will be minimal. Most often, the detection of blood will occur after the act of defecation, and accompany it will be severe pain in the anus. With anal fissures, there is no mixing of blood with feces. Her prints, rather, will remain on toilet paper.

With proctitis or inflammatory processes of the intestinal mucosa, the traces of blood will look like bloody veins in the stool. In addition, in the same place a person can notice and some presence of mucus.

Polyformation often leads to the fact that bleeding can increase significantly. This largely depends on the location of the neoplasm inside the intestine, from its size. Bloody traces are mixed with feces.

The formation of oncological tumors has much in common with the symptoms of the development of polyps inside the intestine, so these two types of diseases are often confused.

Suspicions of colitis occur in the patient and the treating doctor, if during the emptying the intestinal mucus is found, and the stool itself becomes liquid and mixed with blood.

Severe bleeding from the anus can occur due to the development of gastric ulcer. Cal at the same time becomes like tar.

Bloody discharge can also act as a symptom in gastritis or diverticulosis. Diverticulosis can signal its presence in the human body in that blood streaks will periodically appear in the stool.

Blood in the stool can also be a purely feminine symptom in case bleeding from the anus opens up suddenly during menstruation. Such a picture can be evidence of endometriosis of the uterus.

3 Medical measures

The first thing a person should do if he has found traces of the presence of blood on toilet paper is to overcome his own laziness or neglect his health and turn to a specialist proctologist.

The doctor, in turn, will appoint a full diagnostic examination to identify the true cause of bleeding, to assess the general condition of a person.

Often people, trying not to pay attention to such signals of the organism, endanger not only themselves, exacerbating their disease, but also surrounding people, especially when it may be about the infectious nature of bleeding.

Among the most important and informative ways to diagnose the application of the following:

• rectoscopy;
• colonoscopy;
• Irrigoscopy;
• gastroduodenoscopy;
• laparoscopy.

The first of these methods - rectoscopy - is a method of investigating possible pathologies of the lower intestine. She is prescribed for pain in the anus.

The use of colonoscopy is due to painful sensations in the abdomen. It allows you to detect changes in the intestine. To study possible tumor neoplasms will allow conducting such a diagnostic examination as an irrigoscopy. Its implementation occurs by the introduction of a special fluid and an X-ray.

Experts use gastroduodenoscopy much more often. Since its use becomes necessary in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as in the collection of samples for biopsy with suspicions of the formation of cancer tumors.

A cavitary operation, or, in other words, laparoscopy, a specialist can prescribe if in the course of other studies suspicious patches in the intestine were found. Laparoscopy is inherently a cut of the abdominal cavity for the purpose of fluid intake, mucosal samples and other elements for detailed study.

No matter how terrible and frightening it may seem, any of these surveys, its conduct in many cases allows not only to prescribe effective treatment, but also to prevent the further development of pathology, and sometimes even save the life of the patient.

The very same way of treatment in most cases will depend on how competently and effectively the diagnostic examination was carried out, as well as on the type of disease, the stage of its development and the general condition and well-being of the patient.

If in some cases, for example, treatment with antibiotics, special gels and ointments is possible, in other, more serious cases of possible diseases, even surgical intervention may be necessary.
