Constipation: IBS-C or irritable bowel with constipation can cause painful rectum and bleeding. Try to increase water and fiber intake daily. A stool softener and lidocaine and hydrocortisone cream applied to the rectum can ease some pain. Peppermint oil capsule may also relieve colon cramping. Your primary doctor or Gastro doctor can confirm your condition and optimize treatments
