How Can Severe Constipation And Blood In Stool Due To Advil Be Treated?

Yes, l have been taking advil for about 6 days for my back. Which caused a great amount of constipation. Today I drank a 6 ounce glass of prune juice and about 3 8 ounces bottles of water. A couple of hours later my bm was extremely loose, and some blood in the stool. I went again about 10 min later but no blood. What do you think?..

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Constipation is common side effect of advil.
And constipation can cause friction bleeding.
So no need to worry for single episode of blood in stool.
You have normal bowel movement with our bleeding after single episode of bleeding.
This means bleeding is due to constipation only.
Stop advil, drink plenty of water and juices.
Avoid hot and spicy food, avoid junk food.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
