A member asked:

Constipation, blood on toliet paper, and now some mucus on stool? what to take for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Constipation issues: Treatment depends on problem (do you have soft or hard stool?), circumstances under which constipation developed (dehydration, low activity, food intolerances, stressful times, ischemic gut, inflammatory colitis, past surgeries/ trauma with adhesions, rectal dysfunction), severity (stool volume, dehydration, how much blood, night-time awakening, weight loss), & duration (acute vs. Longstanding?).
