What Causes Passing Of Pink Tissue Through Rectum In Children?

Get a stool test done
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Passage of pink tissue per rectum is something unusual.Sometime children swallow some foreign body which can come out during defecation.
Mucus mixed with blood can also presents with same.As this is painless and there is no diarrhea right now, any anal fissure or dysentery has been ruled out.Some uncommon causes like polyp,diverticula can cause blood mixed mucoid discharge.
I have seen the attached image and it appears to be small amount of stool(not blood,mucus or foreign body).
Still I would suggest you to get a stool test done for occult blood( the small amount of invisible blood) after consulting your physician to rule out any any bleeding per rectum.
I would be glad to answer if you have any further query
Regards


Perianal dermatitis should be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome again
The irritation may be due to the itchy lesion around the anus. The red itchy rash around anus is called perianal dermatitis. The common cause is allergy to irritants(sometimes increased lactose in stool also act as irritant). Less common cause is infection(fungal/bacterial or parasitic).
I would suggest you to apply an ointment containing Zinc oxide after reviewing with your physician. Zinc oxide form a protective layer and it is also an antiseptic.
If the condition persists further evaluation will be needed to rule out any infection.
Regards
