Question: Hi Doctor,
For the past few months, I am getting blood with motion. Most of the time for days I don't get motion and to get free motion if I take Ayurveda medicine (kayam choorna), I get my motion very hard and along with it even heavy blood comes. What could be the cause and kindly suggest me proper medicine.
Thanks & Regards

Brief Answer:
follow the advice...observe how you stay afterwards...

Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...

I've gone through your query and understand your concerns...

Hard motion and constipation can cause excessive straining which in turn results in the injury of the colon and rectum, and this is seen during passing motion...Please try to notice the colour of the blood in stool, whether it's bright red or blackish or dark colour...

Drink plenty of water(at least 2.5ltr per day), have plenty of fresh green vegetables, simple homemade foods, salads, curd based diet, avoid any form of spicy food...avoid smoking/alcohol strictly if at all do...

Take Sitz bath twice to thrice daily (sit in a tub of lukewarm water putting some salt in it)...You can watch a tutorial video of Sitz bath online for proper techniques...

Apart from this, do not strain while passing motion... For constipation, you may take Syp. LACTULOSE 15ml once daily at bedtime and observe how you stay (the dose can be further escalated up to 30ml thrice daily based on the initial response)...

Although the pathology seems to be hard motion, there can be an associated Fissure/Hemorrhoid (piles) so it'll be better to get it examined clinically by a Gastroenterologist or a Surgeon later on for further evaluation...

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
