Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
You have a chronic constipation that causes piles or hemorrhoids which result in bleeding while passing stools. The main aspect of treatment in this situation, would be dietary changes to solve your problem of chronic constipation, and symptom relief with laxatives for a short duration.
You can use preparation H or ointment Shield thrice a day to decrease the bleeding while passing stools. Get some laxatives prescribed from your gynecologist and if the problem is persistent then do get an enema done.
There are many things you can help constipation. They include

1. Eating more fruits, vegetables and grains, which are high in fiber
Foods Rich in SOLUBLE Fiber: Oatmeal or oat bran; Brown rice; Orange, grapefruit, green plantain

Foods that can act as laxatives: Prunes, figs, Psyllium husk, shredded wheat, flaxseed (oil), Senna, Cascara sagrada, Aloe vera juice, Dandelion root, Molasses, Liquorice, etc.
2. Drinking plenty of water and other liquids

3. Getting enough exercise are best to improve gut motility.

4. Taking time to have a bowel movement when you need to. Visit the toilet for 15 minutes in the morning, even if you are unable to have a bowel movement. This relaxes and stimulates your digestive system.

5. Relaxation and stress management techniques.

Brief Answer:
Details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Laxatives are medicines that help to relieve constipation like Syrup Cremaffin or Torrelax or Gudlax plus or isabgula husk.
You can use ointment - SHIELD for symptomatic relief.
Enema is a liquid preparation that is given through the rectum and helps in passing the hard stool impacted in the rectum once. This will help in reliving the discomfort once. You will have to take regular laxatives after that.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
