Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation.

I recommend using over the counter option such as Miralax.

I also recommend using a stool softener.

I suggest to drink liquids and use a fiber-rich diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
