Having blood in the stool is considered an abnormal bowel movement. If a pregnant woman has blood in the stool, it will first make the expectant mother think about whether it will affect the healthy development of the fetus, especially if there is blood in the stool, which will make the expectant mother particularly worried. So, does fresh blood from pregnant women's stool have an impact on the fetus?
1. If there is blood in the stool of pregnant women and effective treatment is not given in a timely manner, long-term or prolonged bleeding will inevitably have adverse effects on the healthy development of the fetus. Long term rectal bleeding can lead to anemia, and if a woman's blood volume is insufficient during pregnancy, she cannot provide sufficient oxygen to the fetus, which can result in limited fetal growth and development or malnutrition.
2. The common reasons for the presence of fresh blood in pregnant women's stool are mostly related to rectal diseases such as prolapse of anal growths or anal fissures. Due to different causes, the treatment method should be targeted and not only hemostatic treatment should be carried out. It is also necessary to treat the root cause. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital's proctology department to complete relevant examinations and achieve correct treatment.
3. During the treatment period, it is important to pay attention to dietary adjustments. In addition to avoiding spicy foods, pregnant women should eat more seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables that are rich in plant fiber and vitamins. This type of food is beneficial for increasing intestinal moisture and has a moisturizing and laxative effect, which can prevent dry stools and constipation, and help prevent and reduce rectal bleeding.
