Is there a connection between jaundice and diarrhea and blood in the stool?

Jaundice, diarrhea, and blood in the stool may not be related, or may be caused by pathological reasons. If the patient has the above symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, complete relevant examinations under the guidance of the doctor, and receive symptomatic treatment.

1. No relationship

1. Physiological factors: Eating a lot of foods containing carotene, such as oranges, will cause the body to take in too much carotene and cause yellowing of the skin. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment. It will be relieved after the food is digested.

2. Drug factors: Some drugs can also cause yellowing of the skin, such as rifampicin tablets, mainly because these drugs contain pigment components, which will accumulate in the body after taking, thus causing yellowing of the skin. In addition, long-term oral contraceptives can also make the stool appear dark red or tarry, which can generally recover on its own after stopping the drug.

II.

1. Acute hemorrhagic necrotizing enteritis: When the disease occurs, the intestinal mucosa is severely damaged, and it is easy to exudate and bleed, so the stool will be bright red. If accompanied by bacterial infection, it will also cause abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. At this time, antibiotics such as injection of ceftriaxone sodium or injection of penicillin sodium can be used for anti-infection treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Hemolytic anemia: It is a blood system disease usually caused by the red blood cell destruction rate exceeding the bone marrow hematopoietic compensation function. After the disease occurs, it is easy for the patient to have symptoms such as pale complexion, fatigue, mental depression, etc., accompanied by darker urine color and black stool. At this time, blood transfusion can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, or dexamethasone sodium phosphate capsules, prednisone acetate tablets and other drugs can be taken as prescribed by the doctor to improve the condition.

3. Gallstones: Gallstones occur in the bile duct cavity inside and outside the liver. Their formation is related to metabolic abnormalities and other factors. As the disease progresses, they may block the bile duct and induce an inflammatory response, causing the body to be unable to absorb fat normally, resulting in unformed stools with a fishy odor. The skin, sclera of the eyes, and other tissues and organs may also turn yellow. This can be treated by cholecystectomy and other methods.

4. Other conditions: such as sepsis, leukemia, etc., may cause the above symptoms in patients. Targeted treatment should be carried out only after the specific cause is identified.

In daily life, we should develop good living habits, pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to eat light and easy to digest food, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid greasy, spicy and irritating food.
