Introduction
Prolonged sitting without standing in men may lead to dilation of blood vessels around the anus, resulting in hemorrhoids. When hard stools rub against or compress the hemorrhoidal area, it may cause hemorrhoids to rupture and bleed, leading to rectal bleeding. This is usually accompanied by symptoms such as anal discomfort and swelling. It is recommended to treat under medical supervision using medications such as Ma Ying Long Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment, Zhisu Ning tablets, and Chlorhexidine Acetate Hemorrhoid Suppositories.
In general, frequent rectal bleeding in men may be caused by poor dietary habits, constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissures, intestinal infections, and other factors. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for targeted treatment. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Poor Dietary Habits
When men consume excessive spicy or irritating foods or drink large amounts of alcohol, these poor dietary habits may irritate the mucous membranes of the anus and intestines, leading to frequent rectal bleeding, possibly accompanied by symptoms such as a burning sensation in the anus and abdominal pain. It is recommended to adjust the diet and increase intake of dietary fiber.
2. Constipation
Long-term constipation in men may damage the mucous membranes of the anus and intestines, resulting in frequent rectal bleeding, which may also be accompanied by symptoms such as hard stools and abdominal pain. It is recommended to increase fluid intake and consume more fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables to promote intestinal motility and relieve constipation.
3. Hemorrhoids
Prolonged sitting without standing may cause blood vessels around the anus to dilate in men, leading to the development of hemorrhoids. When hard stool rubs against or compresses the hemorrhoidal area, it may cause the hemorrhoids to rupture and bleed, resulting in rectal bleeding. This is usually accompanied by symptoms such as anal discomfort and swelling. It is recommended to use medications such as Ma Yinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment, Zhisuning tablets, or Chlorhexidine Acetate Hemorrhoid Suppositories under medical supervision.
4. Anal Fissure
If hard stool passes through the anus during defecation in men, it may cause an anal fissure—tearing of the skin or mucosa around the anus—leading to frequent rectal bleeding. This may also be accompanied by pain during bowel movements and anal itching. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as ibuprofen cream, lidocaine hydrochloride gel, or Kangfuxin liquid for treatment.
5. Intestinal Infection
When pathogens invade the intestinal mucosa in men, they may cause intestinal infection, triggering inflammatory responses and ulcers, which can lead to frequent rectal bleeding, often accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is recommended to take medications such as amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin capsules, or metronidazole tablets under medical guidance.
In daily life, attention should be paid to adjusting the diet structure and ensuring a balanced diet.
