Detailed Answer:
Hi

Dear Ms
Going by description of your symptoms its likely to be tenesmus . It denotes symptoms where there is urgency in passing stools , very little stools are passed and is associated with pain and discomfort.
The symptoms are likely to be due
1. Low fibre diet
2. Decreased intake of water
3. Presence of lesion of anus and rectum
Before embarking on blind empirical treatment its advisable to undergo thorough evaluation by General Surgeon/Gastroenterlogist
In the meantime I would suggest you the following
1. Plenty of oral fluids: 2-3 liter of water a day
2. High fibre diet: 2 servings of vegetable salad and fruits everyday
3. Oral Laxatives
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
