Why Is Constipation And Discomfort In Abdomen Persistent Despite Taking Milk Of Magnesia?

Hi. I feel constipated I get the urge to go poop and only liquid comes out a light brown color looks like mucus and a couple times a day one or two pieces of poop come out but round and small. I feel like I need to push a lot out but nothing comes and then I start bleeding from all the straining. This has been going on for bout a month. I ve tried to really increase my liquid intake and my fiber intake but it doesn t seem to matter. I took milk of magnesia 5 days ago and the next day I went 3 times tons if stuff came out I felt way better but then that evening my stomach was hurting and I had a lot of gas. This has happened before it usually happens in the winter and the beginning of summer but it never lasts this long I feel like I m trying everything and don t know what to do. I m getting nervous that it could be something serious. P.s. I have NOT had a temp this whole time.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, on tentative basis anti-protozoa can be tried and the best drug would be Tab Metronidazole 400 mg twice in day for five days, it could be some protozoa infection, ideally stool needs to be sent for examination, do not exert the force at the time of defecation, hope this information may helps.
I find this answer helpful
