Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
I presume you are not a diabetic, nor a hypothyroid individual and also not on any medications like opioids, antidepressants, calcium supplements etc.
You are severely constipated with complication of bleeding per rectum. The most likely cause of bleeding could be hemorrhoids or anal fissure.
You are drinking enough water. But make sure you take enough fiber also. Include enough vegetables and fruits in your diet. You can take fiber supplements like metamucil.
For initially few days till you get good relief from constipation and pass softer stools you can take miralax.
A per rectal examination and if needed a sigmoidoscopy need to be done to confirm the cause of bleed.
Get blood glucose and thyroid function test done if not done already.
I hope that answers your query.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
