What causes bleeding during constipation?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I suffered constipation two weeks ago, and since my anus region has been inflamed. I used to have pain and a burning sensation when I passed a motion, but today, there was bleeding and a burning sensation since there was a scratch or wound in the region. I have been suffering from these symptoms for the past couple of weeks and did not take medication but took stool softeners for easy motion passage. Please help.

Thank you.
