A member asked:
For the past 4-6 days it has hurt to try and make a bowel movement. i was hoping someone could help me figure out why that is.

Pains: Pain with bowel movement can be a result of an injury or from straining with constipation. The pain may be from an anal fissure or from a hemorrhoid. Drink more liquids and add fiber to the diet like metamucil. May add senokot (senna) if constipated. Warm bath soaks. See a doctor if no improvement in a few days.
