Can blood in stools be due to sitting too long on the toilet or straining too hard to pass stools?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I need help with the problem of having blood in my stool, it started yesterday, and this time it is not stopping. I need to cure it. Maybe I sit too long in the toilet, or perhaps I strain too hard when trying to pass the stool. Is there any medication to avoid it? I really want to get rid of it permanently. What is the reason behind it? Blood is fresh, and it comes even when I am sitting on the toilet.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The reason behind the problem is piles. It is swelling around the anus pores. The most common cause can be constipation, hard stool causing fissures, and superficial bacterial infection.
Kindly follow the following instructions.
1) Drink plenty of water.
2) Eat a fiber diet.
3) Use this Ointment before defecating around the anus - Anobliss Ointment (Lidocaine and Nifedipine) for local application and Mupirocin (Mupirocin Calcium) Ointment at night only around the anus.
4) Take a Sitz bath.
5) Syrup Looz (Lactulose), two teaspoons daily for two weeks (for softening stools).
