Suggest Treatment For Constipation And Rectal Bleeding

default
Posted on Tue, 29 Sep 2015
Question: I have rectal bleeding, and have been constipated 3 days now. I only bleed when I try to go.
A friend suggested fleet enema. I have taken ducalax, but still haven't had bowel movement after
8 hours. Still have some abdominal pain, but not as bad as before. I am thinking I may have colitis
of some type, what can I do, I must get better in 2 days to take care of my 90 year old mother. She
used to get colitis, diverticulitis, or something like I have. I know I have a bad diet, and need to make
immediate changes.
It's urgent that I do something now, or at least within a few hours, or ASAP

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

If you have Dulcolax 5 mg tablets you should take 1 tablets 3 times a day to relieve constipation.

One table spoon contain approximately 15 ml of olive oil, so you can take 2 table spoons three times per day.

You can choose one of the fleet enemas on your drug store it doesn't matter what brand you are buying.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
