Hi , welcome to HCM,
I read your question and your concern about colon cancer that occured with your sister made you to ask this question . Well , I would say that there is nothing to worry as you have hard stool that is not releived evenafter taking fiber food and salads., I suggest you to have milk of magnesia syrup 10ml before going to bed and you will have no dificulties with hard stool in early morning. Till then simple NSAIDs like paracetamol will reduce inflammation around anal region and will prevent pain . I suggest my patients to get examined the orifices with colonoscopy as screening tool . Hope this is informative and reduces your stress caused by constipation
Thank you.
