What Could Cause Constipation, External Hemorrhoids And Pelvic Cramps After Passing Kidney Stones?
I passed a kidney stone four days ago. I was very painful and I was put in the hospital but have since been released. Immediately after being discharged I was constipated for a day then began having serious lower pelvic cramps. After the first bowel movement which was tuff I now have the cramps and it s mostly blood. I do have some external hemorrhoids since the constipation episode yesterday. The blood is bright red. Is the cramping and blood from the hemorrhoids or is something else going on?

Bleeding is from hemorrhoids but cramps are because of passing stones.
cramps occurred due to severe pain while passage of stone .Urinary system and bowl system are linked with each other that is the reason there are cramps and constipation due to pain.
