What Causes Blood In Stool While Suffering From Constipation?
Hi, My husband had constipation for a few days. yesterday he saw some blood in his stool. Then it again happened today although his stool was soft. there is no abdominal pain other than slight discomfort at the anus. What could this be related to? Thanks.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to hemorrhoids.
Some advice that I can give to you is:
- Apply an over-the-counter hemorrhoid cream or suppository containing hydrocortisone.
- Use pads containing witch hazel or a numbing agent.
- Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Soak your anal area in plain warm water 10 to 15 minutes two to three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
