What Can I Do To Ease My Bowel Movement?

I am having to strain to produce a bowel movement. At first it was painful inside and my poo was hard so I started taking Aloe Vera Capsules which has helped soften it up but I am still having to strain. I am worried it could be damaging me. Is there something I can do/eat/drink to help? Thank you

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that you must be so much conscious regarding the bowel movement and this is not good because as you became too much conscious as this would cause more worry to you, just take it easy do not exert any force at the time of defecation, drink more water, have fiber containing diet, take care and have a nice day.
