1-2rbc in stool microscopy in 1 year
Hi doctors my baby had ate beetroot 2 days back and next day she had passed very dark stool i got scared and also she finds hard to pass stools from 2-3 days i gave for stool routine test and the occult blood is nill but in stool microscopy it is mentioned rbc as 1-2 hpf and other values are normal
I showed to nearby Pediatrician and he said it could be due to some inflammation or due to passing hard stools i asked if it's any cow milk allergy becuase I recently started her giving cow milk but he said with cow milk allergy it shows different symptoms

1–2 RBC/hpf in stool microscopy alone is usually not a cause for concern, especially when occult blood is negative. It can be seen with minor anal irritation or passage of hard stools. The dark stool was likely related to beetroot. If the child is otherwise well, no specific treatment is needed. Consult your pediatrician if there is visible blood in stool, persistent diarrhea, poor weight gain, or recurrent symptoms.

1-2 RBC per high power field can be ignored. It can be a routine report. Nothing to worry. Completely normal report. Low level Microscopic findings are of no concern or disease.

Beetroot commonly causes very dark or red-tinged stool, while her difficulty passing waste indicates constipation.A minor RBC count of 1-2 hpf is generally not a serious medical concern.This tiny amount of blood is frequently caused by small tears from straining against hard stool.Alternative possibilities for minor stool changes include mild gut inflammation, viral irritation, or dietary adjustments.Management usually focuses on increasing fluids, offering fiber-rich foods, or using doctor-approved stool softeners.
