Severe constipation, finally passed VERY hard stools, now bleeding for 3 days

Im sorry for the double post I didnt know the rest of the message would be cut off and didnt see a way to edit the original post so Ill make this one a lot shorter. You can delete the other post.

Basically I was seen in the ER a few days ago for a stuck stool and was given an enema and mag citrate. I didnt have a BM while there but did later and after a very painful one I finally passed the one that was stuck. I already had a hemorrhoid and it of course got worse and more inflamed. At the time there was no bleeding but later I noticed blood spots on my underwear. The hemorrhoid was smaller so I thought maybe it had bled a little. Its been 3 days and its still bleeding down there. Its not a lot, just spots in my underwear I notice after a few hours. Has anyone else had this? I want to avoid another ER visit since Ive been there 3 times this month. The other 2 for unrelated issues. Thanks

    if you havent seen a colorectal dr, you should make an appointment. you may have a tear that needs to be treated. if you have a tendency to get constipated, its important you do all whats necessary to have regular soft bowel movements: lots of water, a diet rich in fiber in addition to a fiber supplement..
