Hi, thank you for posting.

I read your question carefully and understood your concerns very well.
If your problem is emergent you should use laxative like: Bisacodil 5-20 mg a day.
Change your diet by increasing the amount of fiber in 30g a day. Eliminate milk, coffee, feta cheese, red meat and white bread from your diet.
Use a lot of vegetables and fruits.
Use a lot of water.
Do physical exercises and walk.

You also need a colonoscopy to diagnose:
1. Hemorrhoid that are external and internal
2. Anal fissure.
3. Ulceration of colon.
4. Colon polyps.
5. Expansion of colon(diverticula).
6. Colon tumor.

Take Care.
