Introduction
Passing bloody mucus in stool, or rectal bleeding, after using a glycerin suppository may be related to both physiological and pathological factors. Pathological causes include internal hemorrhoids, colorectal polyps, and possibly proctitis. Besides the aforementioned causes, other factors such as proctitis may also contribute. Once symptoms occur, treatment should be targeted according to the underlying cause and clinical presentation. Additionally, attention should be paid to hygiene, and wearing overly tight underwear should be avoided.
Bleeding during bowel movements, also known as hematochezia, may occur after using Kaisailu (a glycerin enema). This symptom can be related to both physiological and pathological factors, including internal hemorrhoids, colorectal polyps, and others.
I. Physiological Factors
Individuals suffering from hard stools or difficulty defecating may, during the use of Kaisailu, experience excessive force or incorrect angles of administration, which can injure the anal canal and mucosa, leading to rectal bleeding.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Internal Hemorrhoids
This condition is commonly associated with poor defecation habits and dietary irritants. During flare-ups, excessive straining during bowel movements increases abdominal pressure, causing thrombosis at the base of hemorrhoidal tissue. Additionally, dislodgement of intravascular thrombi may lead to bleeding. In such cases, the bleeding is not directly caused by the use of Kaisailu.
2. Colorectal Polyps
Colorectal polyps may develop due to genetic predisposition and unhealthy lifestyle habits. If a polyp develops surface ulceration and ruptures, friction during defecation can cause bleeding, pain, and other symptoms. Improper use of Kaisailu during an active episode may exacerbate these symptoms.
In addition to the above causes, rectal bleeding may also be associated with conditions such as proctitis. After diagnosis, treatment should be tailored according to the underlying cause and clinical presentation. Good hygiene practices should be maintained, and wearing overly tight underwear should be avoided.
