Anal got bruised due to hardened stool passing...please suggest what to do because it causes pain after the toilet?

Drink water: One of the functions of the large intestine is to extract water from stool to help retain water in the body. We are 70-80% water. If you are dehydrated then the stool may be hard. So drink more water every day. Also try to eat fiber. Every meal should have a salad component.
