What Is The Treatment For Enhancing And Strengthening Bowel Movements?
Firstly, I think that Hemorrhoids and fissures are symptoms, and not a disease. I have both for the last four years, I have tried many over the counter meds. I have tried one prescription drug (GTN), which works but I get a recurrence later. These mids treat the symptoms not the underlying cause. My problem is before I use to go to the bathroom 2-3 times a day, to flush out my system. Now I have to go 6-8 times a day, so I seem to have a weak bowl movement, basically if I dont push nothing or very little comes out, even if my stool is soft. So is there anything to enhance and make the bowl movement stronger.

Hi,
First of all let me inform you that if it is the confirmed case of hemorrhoid and fissure (clinically) then surgery is the only option to cure these and it is not confirmed then better to see the surgeon for correct diagnosis, passing of stool three to four time in day without loss of water could be normal one or it may be due to IBS. I would suggest to come out of the stress, no need to exert the force at the time of defection else it will cause the bleeding with the condition of hemorrhoid.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
