What Causes Constipation?
i went a toilet and when i wiped myself a bit of runny poo come out and had bright red blood in it. sometimes im on the toilet for 45mins with really bad cramps, and when i push it does not do anything. i just have to sit there and wait and until it comes out itself or i have to twist side to side.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constipation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like antacid medicines containing calcium or aluminum , lot of dairy products in diet , irritable bowel syndrome , not enough water or fiber in your diet , hypothyroidism . The symptoms can also occur due to hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
-Eat more fruits and vegetables.
-Drink plenty of water
- Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain
- Take antacid after every meal.
I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order stool test , endoscopy and ultrasound . Doctor may change your medicine or prescribe laxative , H2 blockers or antibiotics.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
