Hello,

You may have an improper position during defecation which may cause back pain and pain along the spine. Also symptoms possibility of diverticulitis or stomach flu with constipation. Avoid spicy food and alcohol. Avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use syrup lactulose at night after dinner. Eat a high fiber diet and drink plenty of liquids. Avoid excessive straining during defecation, flexion at the hip joint flexion at the knee with the fetal position during defecation is useful. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
