I have been on iron tablets and have sad bad diarrhoea. now it's turned to constipation and a lot of anal discharge. need help?

Iron: Iron can cause constipation and the discharge may be from being constipated and now you have a hemorrhoid as well. Talk to your doctor about a lower dose of iron. How persistent was diarrhea? Chronic? Change in diet?
