Is the pepper skin in the stool blood?


Empathy in care, excellence in medicine.
The pepper skin in the stool is not blood, because the pepper skin is not digested after eating pepper, so it is mixed with the stool. If the stool shows bleeding, it is generally bright red blood or dark red blood, and black blood. Mainly according to the distance from the bleeding site to the anus, such as the distance is longer, it is black stool; if the distance is closer or the amount of bleeding is larger, it is dark red stool; if it is bright red stool, it is generally bleeding closer to the anus. The main causes of stool bleeding include anal fissure, hemorrhoids, rectal polyps and rectal cancer, as well as diverticulum of digestive tract, gastric cancer, vascular malformation, etc., which can cause stool with blood. It can be diagnosed by gastroscopy, gastrointestinal radiography, and interventional radionuclide development.
