Pain while passing stools is a problem that maybe experienced by people of all ages. This problem occurs when fissuring occurs around the anus due an underlying constipation with stools too hard or large to be passed comfortably.
Reason behind Painful Bowel Movements
A sluggishness of activity of the alimentary canal, lack of enough fibers in diet and insufficient water intake are the most probable reasons for a severe constipation.
The sluggishness of the alimentary tract leads to excess absorption of water and results in dryness of the stool thereby causing injury to the anal region while passing it. The painful passage of stool may or may not be accompanied by bleeding due to the cracked anal orifice.
A diet high in fiber and sufficient intake of water with moderate exercise regime are the best measures to follow for a relief from this issue. A doctor must be however consulted if these lifestyle modifications don’t help in addressing the issue adequately.
