What Causes Constipation,bleeding Anus And Fissures After Taking Cipro?

I was on Cipro for a week and a few days later I started passing very hard stool and had a bleeding anus , fissures I guess because I have no history of haemorrhoid . I started taking an OTR laxative but it didn t help. I also strafed drinking a lot more water than usual about 2 litres. I exercise regularly and get what I think enough fibre from my diet . I am now constantly flatulent and no stool comes out apart from tiny pebble like drops. What should I do ?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

The bleeding you had was due to constipation because of antibiotic, which in turn caused normal intestinal flora, the Lactobacilli. This in turn decreased appetite and digestion. All of these caused very hard and dry stools. While passing it out forcefully, few of anal blood vessels broke, inflamed to cause bleeding.

I would have advised you stool softener like L Cremaffin 2-3 tea spoons at bed time with hot water. Apply Anovate anal cream at the anus before passing stool. Add Lactobacillus supplements (Neitrolin B pills). All medicines are over the counter. In case of no relief, you need to get examined by a surgeon and get specific treatment advised.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
