Why Are My Bowel Movements Hard And Bloody?
I am having trouble having bowel movements. It is so hard to go at times, that I help get it out with my fingers. Is this dangerous to do. Plus I get some blood on my fingers when I do. Should I call my primary doctor. I am on pain medications, oxycodone, if this information helps.

Hello,
If the constipation started after the intake of oxycodone, this seems to be drug induced constipation.
My recommendations at present
- drink more liquids
- high fiber diet
- bulk forming laxatives
- stop further doses of oxycodone
- inform your doc regarding the issue and follow further directions as per your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
