I have been experiencing constipation. I feel pain while passing stools in the morning, and the pain continues for about 1-2 hours afterwards. I also need to visit the toilet 2-3 times to empty my bowels fully. Please advise me on what might be causing this and how I can manage it.
Pain after passing stool may sometimes indicate an anal fissure or piles, which can be caused by chronic constipation and straining. You should increase your fibre intake, drink plenty of water, and consider using an over-the-counter mild stool softener to ease bowel movements and lidocaine ointment to help relieve pain. If symptoms persist or you notice any bleeding, consult your doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
