Suggest Remedy For Child Having Pain And Bleeding During Bowel Movements
My three yr old bleeds every so often when she poops and it hurts her so much. its a fiasco everytime we tell her to go sit and poop she fights us on it. Ive done the whole fiber thing so please dont tell me to do that. She just seems afraid to go and im tired of my drs not helping more. Could something be seriously wrong?

Dear Parent,
Sorry that your child is having trouble passing stools. The fact that you have made modifications in her diet show that you will surely try to maintain the high fibre diet and not give up on it. Please make sure that you give her lots of water ~1-1.5 liter daily. In the meantime you can talk to your pediatrician about stool softeners which will give the chance for the wounds in her anal area to heal.
