Relax in the loo and take your time. I always take my mobile phone to the loo and play games or tweet just to achieve this. Otherwise you'll fail to download in time and this escalates constipation.

@ Mshindi

pole for what you are going through.

i have a colleague who had the same. His needed operation which was successfully done - but abroad (he had been there not that he traveled for the op)

after the op, he was advised to avoid sitting for long hours and he made a mistake when returning home and that made things worse.

he has been seeing a Dr Jumba at Agha Khan and he can now sit for the whole day at work after being down for some weeks!

Perhaps you can consult the doc?

After the birth of my child,through cs,i had this prob.mine were haemorrhoids which kept tearing with every discharge.very painful yes!now,the docs prescribed lots of stuff including suppositories.pain still persisted for 2months.eventually i settled for anusol cream+suppositories+pain killers.all the best na pole
