Brief Answer:
the blood in stools is because you strain during defecation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Only with medication the problem for your constipation will not be solved .
You need to consider some diet modification accordingly like eating high fiber diet, lots of leafy vegetables and a banana at bed time.
With all these some amount of physical activity like playing, jogging etc can add on to improve your symptoms.
Stop eating fast food ,junk foods etc
With all the above measures start taking polyethylene glycol content product like MOVICOL to be mixed in plain water 1 in morning and one more in night for initial 1 to 2 weeks n later when ever its needed.
This will definitely help you.
Even after using this still problem persists then you need to consult you doctor.
