1. you have only mentioned about
constipation and use of medicine to relieve your constipation and
blood in stool, but nowhere it's mentioned that what is/was the cause of bleeding??
2. Bleeding indicates disorder or disease of digestive tract, so what was the source of bleeding: upper GI (
esophagus,Stomach,duodenum) or lower GI (colon,rectum,anus)??
3. going by your history, it seems that 'blood with stool' indicates hemorrhoids unless proved otherwise.
4. rule of thumb is:constipation causes hemorrhoids( due to over straining) and hemorrhoids causes constipation (due to fear of blood), thus vicious cycle goes on.
For Constipation:
i.any history of anemia,
prolonged fever, IBS??
ii. use of laxatives with Aluminium, prolonged use Iron,calcium, Anticholinergics??
iii. Thyroid Function test (under active thyroid?)
iv. any Psychological cause:
depression,Personality Dysfunction,Physical Inactivity??
Reason/Cause of blood in stool has to be evaluated by
general surgeon by doing suitable tests and P/R Examination., whether due to gastritis,piles,ulcer or any infection?
.In the mean time you can follow the following regime:
.regular bowel habits with attempted bowel movements 15 to 20 minutes after breakfast, when the gastro colic reflex is strongest.
. fiber rich diet
. because constipation leads to
Urinary tract infection:adequate fluid intake, at least 8 glasses/day.
.drink luke warm water during morning hours,getting up from bed.
. drug of choice acting both on constipation and blood in stool is 'Abhyarishta", take 3 spoon with equal amount of water three times a day,after meals.
. Avoid over straining, don't sit too much on hard surface, and take warm SITZ bath.
. Yogic postures like Vajrasan, Trikonasan,Parshvakonasan are useful alongwith abdominal massage.
