Detailed Answer:
Hi
Stools are painful when it is hard.It may lead to Fissure in Ano which is very painful.
To avoid this, you should take high fiber diet.Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.Drink plenty of liquids.Avoid spicy food,Nonvegetarian foods.Smoking and Alcohol should be completely stopped if you have the habit.Your stool should be soft.Then,there will be no pain.
For the time being, you can take stool softener like Lactulose solution 15 ml at bedtime for few days.Please do not depend on this.You should change your dietary habits and see the results.
Inspite of the dietary modifications,if you have pain ,then you should consult a General Surgeon and proceed further.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health
Regards
