you can try taking a laxative to ease the pain in the short term.
If there is blood in your stool you should see a doctor because you could have hemorrhoids or polyps. both can be severely painful.
in the long tern trying eating more foods with fiber or buying a fiber supplement such as Miralax from your local drug store.
i hope you feel better.

Try a good stool softener. they are not the same as ex-laxe and you won't be caught in the middle of something-plenty of time. Something fibrous is also helpful but but can lead to constipation as it picks up other debris.

drink plenty of water,drink prune juice,and take stool softener you have to drink water with the stool softener,my mom tells me taking a warm bath helps idk if it helps but it relaxes your "muscles" and helps with pain.or you could use a suppository or enema.stool softners draw water into your well..poo.laxitives just stimulate your colon muscles.

Any kind of fruit. You need all the fiber you can get. Put down the junk food. Eat green veggies, because it makes poop shoot out fast.

Definition:
Constipation refers to infrequent or hard stools, or difficulty passing stools. Constipation may involve pain during the passage of a bowel movement, inability to pass a bowel movement after straining or pushing for more than 10 minutes, or no bowel movements after more than 3 days. Infants who are still exclusively breastfed may go 7 days without a stool.


Considerations:
Normal patterns of bowel elimination vary widely from person to person and you may not have a bowel movement every day. While some healthy people have consistently soft or near-runny stools, others have consistently firm stools, but no difficulty passing them.

When the stool is hard, infrequent, and requires significant effort to pass, you have constipation. The passage of large, wide stools may tear the mucosal membrane of the anus, especially in children. This can cause bleeding and the possibility of an anal fissure.


Common Causes:
Constipation is most often caused by a low-fiber diet, lack of physical activity, not drinking enough water, or delay in going to the bathroom when you have the urge to defecate. Stress and travel can also contribute to constipation or other changes in bowel habits.

Other times, diseases of the bowel (such as irritable bowel syndrome), pregnancy, certain medical conditions (like an underactive thyroid or cystic fibrosis), mental health problems, neurological diseases, or medications may be the reason for your constipation. More serious causes, like colon cancer, are much less common.

Constipation in children often occurs if they hold back bowel movements when they aren't ready for toilet training or are afraid of it.


Home Care:
Children and adults should get enough fiber in their diet. Vegetables, fresh fruits, dried fruits, and whole wheat, bran, or oatmeal cereals are excellent sources of fiber. To reap the benefits of fiber, drink plenty of fluids to help pass the stool.

For infants with constipation:
Over 2 months old -- try 2-4 ounces of fruit juice (grape, pear, apple, cherry, or prune) twice a day.
Over 4 months old -- if the baby has begun solid foods, try baby foods with high-fiber content (peas, beans, apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums, spinach) twice a day.
Regular exercise is also important in establishing regular bowel movements. If you are confined to a wheelchair or bed, change position frequently and perform abdominal contraction exercises and leg raises. A physical therapist can recommend exercises appropriate for your physical abilities.

Stool softeners (such as those containing docusate sodium) may help. Additionally, bulk laxatives such as psyllium may help add fluid and bulk to the stool. Suppositories or gentle laxatives, such as milk of magnesia liquid, may establish regular bowel movements. Enemas or laxatives should be reserved for severe cases only. These methods should be used only if fiber, fluids, and stool softeners do not provide enough relief.

Hi Vanessa,
your body is acidic and needs lots of alkaline water. Let me know what country you're in and I'll let you know where to get it.

Send me a Private email.

Blessed be.
