Hi Lacy,

Thanks for your query.

You are suffering from constipation. The following could be the reason for the condition--

1- Dehydration.
2-Less fiber in diet.
3- Generalized anxiety.
4-Side effect of any drug.

I would suggest you to --

1- take plenty of fluids.

2- take fiber XXXXXXX diet that include onion, whole grains etc.

3- if still these problems persist then you will have to switch over to certain medications that will include the laxatives and purgatives. For that you should consult your physician.

As you have stated that previously you were suffering from diarrhea, in that case your diagnosis points towards a normal physiological process.

REASON-- it is the natural tendency of the body to maintain the homeostasis, means if you are loosing water from your body, then the body will itself try to compensate losses.

you should not have to worry. JUT FOLLOW THE ADVICE, you will get better soon.

Hope this will certainly help you.

Regards.

HI, Lacy,

Blood in stool indicates piles, but your examination revealed nothing,
Now the second possibility is of amoebiasis, as some times it may cause blood in stool.

Do not worry,

Emperically, take metronidazole with a fluoroquinolone like ciprofloxacin, twice a day for 5 days, under the prescription of your treating physician. you will be absolutely all rite.

Dont forget to take plenty of fluids.

regards.
