Hi, I have been suffering with constipation all my life, I have always passed "rabbit droppings" type poo, since a young teenager, I am in my 40s now.
Unless I live on all bran and veg soup for a few days, which of course, that does not last long, then I can have a soft poo. But I love normal food!
I generally have blood on the paper and stabbing pains, 80-90% of the time. I love my veg and do have a healthy diet.
I have been managing with my "white bullets" (anusol suppositories) and baby ointment. And prune juice.
I too, cannot "go" at work as small office with strict client appointments, it would be embarrassing. I wait till I get home or sometimes I have a BM before work.
My life is very stressful, but hey ,so is most peoples.
As mentioned in another post...one iphone photo later to find out what was going on down under, revealed four glorious fissures.
the thing is, I have agony on the loo, and when very bad up to half hour after, but other than dreading toilet time, my life is not really affected. Which is why I have never seen a doctor about this.
After seeing a photo of my bum hole I have finally made the doctor appointment!
