Patient's question:
The problem of constipation has been troubling me for a long time. Every time I go to the bathroom, it's very difficult, and it even causes blood to appear again, which is also very painful. My diet has been stable lately, and I haven't eaten anything hard or difficult to digest anymore. I also frequently use laxatives, but this situation still persists—difficulty in defecation and blood in the stool. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The current condition of the patient may be due to constipation causing the rupture of fecal stones during defecation, leading to anal fissures and mucosal damage. The following comprehensive treatment methods can be used: First, maintain regular bowel movements by eating more fresh vegetables and fruits and drinking plenty of water. Additionally, appropriate exercise can promote gastrointestinal motility. It is also necessary to have some laxative medications, such as glycerin suppositories, as well as oral laxatives.
