Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had constipation for about a week and today I decided to try and help myself discard the stool with my finger but when I looked I had quite a bit of blood on my finger. Is that just because I should not be using my finger for such things or is there something wrong with me?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
Thank you for writing and I understand your concern. Yes, actually you should not have used fingers, due to fingernails there might be some injuries and due to that, only such bleeding occurred. So you should never do it again. For constipation, I would suggest you take.
1. Syrup Cremaffin 15 ml in one glass of lukewarm water.
2. Take once a day before sleeping (night).
3. Take five days and everything will be fine.
4. Was there a lot of blood?
5. Do you have pain or a burning sensation?
6. Since when did you have constipation?
Kindly answer to guide you further.
Thank you.
