Constipation : First it is important to know why are you started constipation: did you change diet, water intake, medicine or exercise? Constipation should be relieved by taking laxative and then add more fiber and water intake. Straining may cause hemorrhoids which can bleed but colon and rectum can also be the source. Please see your doctor if it happens again.
