Question: Im finding it really difficult to pass stool Its hard and painful and i havent been able to let it out How can i make it softer so it is easier to pass That will work quickly because this is very uncomfortable
Answer: Hello 

Sorry about your worries 

You might want to take a lot of fluids and maybe get some oranges to increase your fiber content 

Some liquid paraffin may help you 

I suggest that you see a doctor who may examine you to make sure that you do not have any tears in your anal region that can be causing you pain 

I hope this helps 

Cheers

Answer: Hi 

You sound like you are constipated Without any underlying serious diseases some common causes include dehydration lack of dietary fibre physical inactivity or medication side effects

To help relieve this I will advise the following 

 Drink two to four extra glasses of water a day 
 Try warm liquids especially in the morning
 Add fruits and vegetables to your diet especially oranges to help relieve the constipation
 Exercise most days of the week When you move your body the muscles in your intestines are usually more active too

If you are not relieved within days you should visit a doctor for examination and possible treatment
