How to manage pain caused during defecation?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am having pain when defecating. For the past three days, when I feel pressed to pass stool, I end up failing as I can not bear the pain. I had been taking laxative pills and liquid Paraffin but they seem not to be helping.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I am very sorry about your medical condition and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. But do not worry. I am here to take care of you.

Regarding your symptoms, I know how it feels to have a painful defecation, which is quite challenging. So what you have is a diagnosis of constipation, as seems you had a poor bowel movement that may cause constipation and may lead to piles.

I advise you to do the following:

Take a lot of fruits and vegetables.
Drink a lot of water.
Sit down in warm water mixed with Dettol, twice daily.
Take syrup liquid Paraffin 20 ml orally, twice daily for one week.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
