Question
On November 23, 2009, at around 4 am, I suddenly had blood in my stool. By 5 am, the stool was completely bloodied, dark red and black, occasionally mixed with bits, with a large amount each time, breaking the skin about 15 times in 24 hours. I later had surgery, and the bleeding stopped after 24 hours, but to this day, the cause has not been found. I am seeking everyone’s assistance. As a mother, my heart is being torn apart. Please help me out. Thank you. Previous treatment and results: I have never had hematuria before, have no family history of illness, and all test results are normal. Tests and detailed examination results: No definitive diagnosis
Answer
The cause of the child’s hematochezia may be intestinal wall vascular malformation. It is recommended to undergo a colonoscopy to determine the site of the lesion. It is suggested to go to a professional children’s hospital for the examination as they have suitable fibers for children, making the procedure less painful. If a vascular malformation is confirmed, timely surgery is important for the child.
