I ignored rectal bleeding. Turns out it was anal cancer.

1) get checked.
2) Never force a dump.
3) drink plenty of water
4) eat metamucil to bulk up stool either for loose or hard stools.
5) add some benefiber to help control hard stools.
6) Your stool should float.
Exercise helps regulate too.

Any time you add fiber do it slowly and always add extra water.

If you pass hard stools..you can rip your tender skin..and that can turn into cancer. Been there done that.

Wipe gently folks. The skin is tender. Wet wipes help but try to get ones without alcohol. They cannot be flushed in toilet if you have a septic system.

Sitz bath helps. You can put a shallow layer of water in the tub and sit in it.
Or they sell a small pan you put on toilet and run some hot water.

If you are worried about extremely loose..and need control (like a meeting) take a lomotil.

Adding flax seed (ground) also helps.

Good luck.

If you have good bowel habits you might avoid cancer. Anal cancer is not fun. They radiate you until the skin falls off your privates. NOW THAT HURTS. And then they radiate more..and your skin continues to fall off.

You cry when you pee.

So heed my advice. Eat fiber, Drink water. Exercise and do not strain.
If you are a young lady, get the HPV shot.
