I have a bowel movement every day. the beginning of the stool is very hard and lumpy, painful and often causes some rectal bleeding. the rest of the stool is soft and smooth. what causes this to happen? i drink a lot of water?

Bowel Movements: I suspect that you are not getting enough finer in your diet. You want to include both insoluble fibre and soluble fibre from certain fruits and vegetables. It's also important to stay well hydrated.
