You have to take high fibre diet and regular exercise. Drink plenty of water and liquids. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use Benefiber or Metamucil fiber for bulk formation. use laxatives like paraffin or Lactulose etc. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will give enema and treat you accordingly.
