Hemorrhoids are usually
caused by
congestion and swelling of the venous plexus around the lower rectum and anal canal, which can lead to bleeding during defecation. Blood and mucus in the intestinal tract mix to form mucus bloody stools.2
. Inflammatory diseases such
as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, etc., may lead to damage to the intestinal mucosa, congestion, edema and erosion, resulting in the mixed discharge of mucus and blood.
3. Intestinal polyps Intestinal
polyps are raised lesions protruding from the surface of the intestinal mucosa, which may be related to genetic, chronic inflammation and other factors, which can lead to bleeding or necrosis on the surface of the intestinal mucosa, forming a mixture of mucus and blood.
