Suggest Remedy For Chronic Constipation With Rectal Bleeding

Hi, for the past 8 months I have had horrible constipation, sometimes not going to the bathroom for over a week. When i do, there is large amonts of blood in my stool and large amounts amounts of blood when I wipe. Using paper atleast 5 different times to get the blood to stop. I have experienced extreme fatigue, weight loss, and alot of hair loss. I had a baby over 11 months ago annd assumed it may be because of that but I also have not experienced a regular menstrual cycle since my son has been born. I don t understand why i feel so terrible all the time being as young as I am. Please help with ssome info! Thanks!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
It appears from your description that you have landed up in having hemorrhoids or severe grade anal fissures as a result of constipation.
Take laxatives to ease the pressure whole passing stools as it makes your stools soft.
Drink plenty of water and keep well hydrated.
Consume fibre rich diet by including good amount of fruits and vegetables.
Since you are having symptoms of iron deficiency due to blood loss, you need to supplement with iron and folic acid tablets and consume foods rich in iron.
Permanent solution to your problem would be to take Surgeon's opinion and go I'm for Cryosurgery.
Wish you all the best.
