What Causes Discomfort During Defecation?
Off and on for the past couple of months, I ve been experiencing discomfort during and after bowel movements - irritation, burning, itching, and some blood showing on the toilet paper. I ve been applying Preparation H which helps some. I ve also used a Ducalax stool softener but haven t taken any in about a month. Thank you in advance for any advice that you can provide

Hai,
Irregular bowel movements and chronic constipation make be the cause.
depends on your symptoms it seems to be ulcerative colitis or Internal hemorrhoids.
Proper proportion of fiber food in your diet like taking spinach,okra,cucumber and guva,papaya daily may reduce your symptoms. Avoid constipation will sort out your 50% of the problems.
Visit a Gastroenterologist to fix the issue if the problem is troubling after you follow a healthy lifestyle.
