Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of constipation along with cramping can be due to causes like sudden changes in dietary habits, excess intake of antacids, irritable bowel syndrome, excess intake of dairy,eating disorders, lack of appropriate physical activity, side effects of medicines, Hypothyroidism etc..

Seeing blood during wiping can be probably due to injury to the anal mucosa due to excessive straining to evacuate hard stools..
There can also be a tear in the anal mucosa due to straining that can lead to bleeding..

I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you get investigations done like Colonoscopy, Barium swallow, hormonal assy etc to confirm the cause..
Treatment of the cause can relieve the symptoms..

You can also be advised to take laxativs like Polyethylene glycol [Miralax], castor oil also acts as a lubricant and laxative..
You can also be advised to take Psyllium husk or Lactulose..
Take more fibres in diet, plenty of water and do moderate workout..
You can also be advised medications like Lubiprostone or Linaclotide..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
