Passing blood clots in stool may be caused by gastrointestinal inflammation due to digestive tract diseases, but hemorrhoids could also be a possible cause. Symptoms can be improved by consuming more foods that promote bowel movements, such as bananas and sweet potatoes. If symptoms persist, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital for examination. If diagnosed with hemorrhoids, treatment should be tailored according to the specific condition, and surgical intervention may be necessary in some cases. If the cause is a gastrointestinal infection, timely intravenous fluid therapy should be administered.
