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 have been struggling to go to the toilet properly for around 2 weeks so i have been taking senokot to help. the first week i had stomach cramps after i had eaten that subsided when i sat or lied down. these cramps have now gone however when i do try and go to the toilet i can feel a few small soft lumps that pertrude from the anus! should i be worried ?

-these lumps actually are resulted from weakness of anal canal wall which leads protruding of venous balls ( plexuses ), this call hemorrhoids -constipation leads to weakness of the wall by pressure on it and that is lead to hemorrhoids -some times this weakness is idiopathic , then these lumps block the stool way and cause constipation -so both lead to each other -it is not dangerous thing,also very common , but hemorrhoids need treatment not be inflamed -your hemorrhoids are external if it is inflamed it will be really painful - eat food rich with fibers, like fruits and fresh vegetables
