Respected user , Hi

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly .

* Better management of the pain would ease the evacuation , only
laxatives will not work alone , so suggested guidelines

- Take analgesic like ibuprofen or other 3 times a day after meals .
- Sitz bath ( sitting in a tub filled with lukewarm water 3 times a day and
specially after passing stool ) help a lot .
- Isbaghula husk , high fiber diet with plenty of liquids will get softer stools

Hope this will help you surely .

Always welcome for any further guidance .
Regards dear .
