Question

The baby has recently been constipated. After taking laxatives and eating more fruits, the symptoms have improved, but blood is found in the stool. Parents are worried about why the child has hematuria and ask for treatment methods.

Answer

If a baby experiences constipation accompanied by hematuria, it may be due to dry stool stimulating the anal blood vessels or anal fissures caused by long-term constipation. It is recommended to give the baby more water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and make pear water to clear heat and detoxify, avoiding spicy food. Cultivate good living habits for the baby, including regular bowel movements, and use potassium permanganate sitz baths. As the baby grows older, the situation will gradually improve.
