Brief Answer:
Need better laxatives.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
When a patient is constipated intestine secrete large amount of mucous so that stools can pass through intestines easily(natural process).This mucous appears in your stools while defecating.The rate of contraction and relaxation of intestines also increases to move constipated food causing spasms and pain.
When this hard stool passes through soft rectal mucosa it causes bleeding.
Remedy
Take 15 to 30 ml of over the counter laxative Lactulose.It will soften your stools and would help you with constipation.
Take natural husk isabghul 10 grams thrice daily .It's a bulk laxative and helps in passing stools easily.
You would feel much better in few days.
Hope I was helpful,
follow ups are welcome.
Thanks
