HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The history of prolonged constipation and the manual evacuation necessary to remove the impacted stool would have resulted is some minor damage to the bowel.
This could cause the discomfort and blood that you are seeing at the moment.
You should consider using agents to soften your stool, a high fiber diet and copious liquids to reduce any further trauma to your bowel.An example is docusate.
You may also want to consider an anti inflammatory pain killer to help you. This would include medication such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, celebrex or aspirin.
These should be used on a full stomach.
I hope this helps
