Suggest Treatment For Constipation

Ok just today I had to go number 2 so I go once I sit I cant but I try anyway bc I really needed to. So I sat there for a while and I felt it coming out but it was like it was stuck so I pushed and pushed well I eventually gave up bc it started to hurt my rectum and my bottom was going numb the second time I tried same thing. Well I took stool softeners and miralax I sat bk on toilet and tried again I pushed hard and it came out it was very large in girth. Now it hurts my anus to pee, cough anything. What did I do?

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic

Two most important things: 1st is diet and 2nd is exercise and after it medicines to relieve constipation.

First do regular exercise to relax your gut. Sedentary life style will make it very difficult to relieve.Go daily walking after lunch and dinner. Drink plenty of fluids and juices. Baking soda will help you a most. You can also use isapgullah with water or milk every night which is good and effective home remedy.

Diet must have fibers. nuts, potato, broccoli, apples, banana, beans etc are full of fibers. Daily increase these in your food.

Don't take over the counter medication like laxatives. Try to move your bowels don't suppress it. You can use lactulose or miralax after consultation of your clinician. If very serious condition, after enema, manually can be evacuate.

Hope these will be helpful to you.
Take care and have a healthy life ahead...
