Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Chronic constipation may be due to decreased physical activity or low fiber diet or drugs that may cause constipation etcetera.
Constipation itself leads to stressing during defecation thus leading to blood in stool. Eat high fibre diet and do regular exercise. Avoid fatty low fiber diet.
Use metamucil or benefiber for bulk stool formation. Use syrup Lactulose 30 ml at night after dinner. If symptoms do not improve, please consult your physician who will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
