Constipation/blood? (TMI)?!


Question: Constipation/blood? (TMI)?
So, this is a bit embarrassing.
I've been constipated all day.. Like I can feel the poop ,and part of it comes out, but it won't all come out; It just hangs there no matter how hard I push. I've gotten parts of it out, but I can't get all of it.
It's to the point where i'll sit on the toilet 20 minutes pushing, and just pull the poop back up and try again later.
Just now, though, I noticed when I wiped that there was cardinal red blood... Should I be concerned?

Bright red blood is probably from tearing around the anus due to the strain/size of the stool. You should only be concerned if you note dark, tarry blood, as that means its from inside the GI tract. Try to use some milk of magnesia to stimulate your bowel movement, and use a stool softener for the next few days as your body heals from the tearing. You may continue to notice blood/discomfort in the area for a few days.

This was a constant problem for me going through chemo
