How to treat constipation and associated rectal bleeding?
-
Hello, I am 24 years old. I am suffering from chronic constipation for some days. Time to time minor rectal bleeding is also occurring. I have not gone to see a doctor yet. As and when I am getting pressure, my pain starts with bleeding. I have not informed this to my parents also. There is inflammation along the rectal lining. If I sit continuously in a place, I am getting the pain. How to treat this? Please help me with your valuable suggestion.

@iraban Simple home care of rectal bleeding from constipation includes the following: Drink eight to ten glasses of water per day. Bathe or shower daily to cleanse the skin around the anus. Decrease straining with bowel movements. Increase fiber in the diet with foods such as prunes. Treatment of rectal bleeding is dependent on the cause; simple treatments (some hemorrhoids, for example) can be done at home, but other more serious causes (tumors or ulcers, for example, may require much more effort like surgery and other therapy). Minimal rectal bleeding can be treated at home if the cause is known to be minor, but if it does not improve quickly, seek medical care.
