What Causes Difficulty In Bowel Movement With Pain?

default
Posted on Fri, 18 Jul 2014
Question: Yesterday morning I experienced a bowel movement that seemed to large to pass. It caused bad
pain and blood as I kept trying to eliminate. I went to my MD & he checked my rectum & said he
could tell I had an impaction but it was a little soft. He recommended two laxative suppositories
& a glycerine enema. I had a large painful bowel movement late yesterday. Today I still feel pain
in my rectum when I am trying to reach the toilet. I have had several bowel movements today which
are formed, but accompanied by liquid. Sorry this is all so gross.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I went through your query and understood your concerns.

The history of bowel movement that seemed to large to pass and it caused bad
pain and blood suggest more towards anal fissure. This will cause pain till its complete healing. So continue laxative, drink plenty of water and application of local anaesthetic drug like lignocaine jelly will help in relieving pain.

Also more important is to follow simple measures like
1. You should visit toilet or defecation only when you feel to defecate. Don't stress yourself during defecation.
2. Plenty of fluids and fibre diet.
3. For pain application of lignocaine gel will help you.
4. Practice regular food habit.
5. Daily 30 min outdoor activities.

The pain usually relieved in couple of days. You can also take analgesic like acetaminophen or ibuprofen which will relieve your pain.
The several bowel moment may be due to drug/laxative used.

Hope i answered your query and these information are useful. Feel free to ask further related query.
Wish you faster recovery and good health.
Regards
