A member asked:
Yesterday i had to remove a very hard stool and it was very painful when i was removing it. can it cause bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can.: Very hard stool can cause micro tears or fissures which can then bleed. If there is an issue with hemorrhoids, hard stool can also cause hemorrhoids to bleed. I would suggest taking a stool softener or better yet flaxseed oil. This can be very helpful.
