Try significantly: increasing the fiber in your diet.You may need to see your doctor to help regulate this.Continued straining can result in the development of hemorrhoids and other problems.

Have anal fissure and started stool softener on 6/19/19. Pain isnt as bad but still blood. Should I take fiber as well to help soften more. Stool still somewhat hard.

I normally go poop 3 times a day but occasionally when Im passing large stools when I wipe theres blood, my stools color is normal, could it be because Im wiping too hard because it only happens sometimes? its not painful?
