Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having trouble with my bowel movements, it takes at least an hour to empty and then I may have to go back again. The bowel movements are not firm and I have been diagnosed with internal hemorroids. I think the frequency of the bowel movements and how long I have to sit on the toilet is making the bleeding from the hemorroids worse. The only other problems I'm having is fatigue and high white blood cell count, I've had that checked and they can find no reason for it. I am a 47 year old male, 5'8" 180 pounds. No major health problems to date.
Well come to HCM Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern, few conditions are there that causes such symptoms that you have first is constipation, over consciousness for defecation, some functional factors are there like anxietydepression, it is the IBS too, over all these could causes the hemorrhoid, now firs is to get done the hemorrhoidectomy (Surgery for bleeding piles ), then change the diet, have more fiber containing diet, drink more water, you can try stool softening agent like Isabgol, third try to come out of the stress, do not exert the force for defecation it is no matter if you do not pass the stool, hope this information helps.
