Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve been abusing laxatives for about two years now. I recently have discovered enemas and do them a few times a day along with frequent stimulate laxatives. Today while I was doing my enema (with just warm water ) I stood up to remove the tube but before I could water was flowing backwards from my rectum and back into the bag. There was bloody stool and blood clots. I tried to pass the remaining water and it mostly was pink from the blood. My stomach is upset and I have no idea what to do. I apologize for the graphic nature...
Hi, i do care for your concern. first of all using laxative for weight loss(moss commonly used), doesn't cause weight loss, but it cause dehydration to a severe extent. in your case the stimulant type of laxative cause bloody stools and may lead to severe anemia and dehydration. i would advise to Stop using the laxative, and consult your physician so as to rehydrate yourself. need not panic as the condition can be reverted back to normal once you have stopped using the drug. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thank you
