Suggest Treatment For Constipation, Mucus In Stool And Sharp Pain During Defecation

I am 23, 5 3 and 150 lbs. I have been slightly constipated recently and when I use the bathroom there is a mucus type substance and a red tint to the mucus. I do have a history of hemorrhoids and not sure if that could be what s causing it. the only pain I have is some gas pain and a quick sharp pain that was relieved after using the bathroom. I am also having I guess a smaller amount of stool when I go but am going multiple times in the last 2 days.

Hi,
Thankyou for contacting HCM

I read your query carefully.
Constipation should be treated by two ways.
First the stool should be softened.This is done naturally
You should improve your dietry habits.
1- Do not Drink too much water with meal.
2- Drink at least 10 glasses of water per day.
3- Do not take late night junk or fast food.
4- Take your Dinner at least 2 hours before going to bed.
5- Take healthy balanced diet.
6- Add fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.
7- Take 2 spoons of ISPAGHOL HUSK with water or glass of milk (whatever you like).
8-If still constipation persists then take lactulose syrups on a regular basis for 15 days
AVOID
>Avoid iron containg food like chocholate,dates etc.
>Avoid coffee and caffiene containg products.

SECONDLY please look for a anal fissure because according to details it can b anal fissure.
If it is present then it should be trested with Anovate cream and 5% Lignocaine jelly locally thrice daily for 2 months.Regular toilet training is necessary.
