What Causes Passing Of Hard Stools With Blood?
Question: I've had two bowel movements that look like raw steak with some pebble looking areas as well. I also seem to have some fibrious tissue.
Brief Answer:
\Seems like constipation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
Your description of symptoms are suggestive of passing hard stool.
As you have mentioned looks like raw steak, Did you notice any blood in stool?
Passing fibrous tissue could be undigested food material.
Recent onset of passing hard stool is due to inadequate fluid intake and reduced fiber content in your food.
So I have theses advice for you.
1. Take more fibers, salad, and whole wheat flour.Avoid fast food like burger . 2. Take
2. Do not eat after 10 o clock,as frequent eating changes bowel rhythm.
3. Drink lot of water,and walk for half an hour before going to bed.
4. There should be minimum gap of 1 hour between dinner and sleep.
5. Try to form a routine about time, when you go to toilet. Never be lazy about this.
6. If despite that you had constipation , take 2 tab dulcolax, you will pass stool in 2 to 4 hours.
If you have noticed bright blood or passing maroon colored stool, then need to get tested to rule out blood in stool, Stool test required.
With these measures your symptom should resolve in a week, If your symptom doesn't resolve with these measures, need to be evaluated further .
Hope i answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Wish you a good health.
Regards
