Suggest Alternative Treatment For Constipation
Question: Hello. I took a Senokot last night, which works for me in th morning, but this time, it isn't working. I'm getting cramps and urgency to go, but all that comes out is mucus with some blood. I normally have to manually remove the stool anyway but this is very uncomfortable as the urge is quite strong. Why is this happening and what can I do?
