Blood in poo

7 replies

My six year old has just been for a poo and it had some red blood in it. She said it hurt when she went. She had a couple of episodes about three years ago where she had blood and they tested for inflammation which was the highest it could be for a child but not where they would worry.
I'm a worrier so not too good at the mo. Have kept it for doc tomorrow but any advice appreciated

My lo had this when she got constipated and tore a bit on her bum

If she's constipated try treating that
I would book a gp appointment though

Thanks. Is it a red flag for children or am I really over thinking/worrying? X

Could just be a tiny tear (fissure) so i wouldn't worry too much

Is her poo a bit on the hard, dry side? That's what happens to my and my DD. I have to remember to drink lots. I've had blood in my poo since I was a child I'm now 50. If the blood is on the poo not in it is important

Yes hard and always big. She said she had a tummy ache after and her bottom still hurt a bit.

I bet she's like my girl she doesn't drink enough. Porridge is good for having softer poo
