Hi,

I understand your concern.

Big and solid stool that are difficult to come out are indicating constipation.

Should add more fiber to your daily menu to help ease bowel movement (bm). Psyllium or prunes fiber supplement can help.

Take lactulose to soften the stool. Senna supplement can help induce a bm.
Apply prep H on your rectum each time you pass the stool to restore the normal mucosa.

Go to toilet each time you get the feeling, do not delay as this will make things worst. Increase fluids intake (especially plain water).

Get a colonoscopy done to understand what's the problem. If no organic issue, then, you should follow restricted liquid diet with lots of fiber as mentioned above.

Wish fast recovery.
