hurts to poop

So I had a c section 2 weeks ago and I keep getting constipated. I'm taking my stool softeners like I'm supposed to and its still hard. I did a suppository over an hr ago and it didn't work. I can't even sit down cause it hurts. Anyone else go through this. I'm almost scared to even try to poop cause I know its gonna hurt. I think I gave myself a hemroid..... :(

Also helps if you apply pressure to your front ( specially if your had episiotomyol or bad tears. I used to use baby wipes. Fibre and plenty of fluids.
Ahhhh I'm not looking forwards to this after giving birth to second bubs

I'm addicted to suboxone and it causes me to not be able to poop.  It hurts like a son of a ***** when I try to poop. I'm saying it hurts bad!!! I'm scared to go because I know what I'm in for.  I'll end up on the bathroom floor screaming bloody murder. Speaking of blood sometimes it causes me to bleed out of my anus.  That makes my dog Taylor upset "I named my dog Taylor after Taylor Swift because I love Taylor Swift" any who can anybody give me any suggestions to my horrible constipation problems?

I did the glove thing after I had my son vaginally and I used a dulcolax suppository but it didn't work. I'm limited on what I can take cause I breastfeed

This is disgusting but I put rubber gloves on and pulled it out. I knew my poop was right there but it would just not come out. It had been 7 days since my c-section and it just HAD TO come out.

Tucks pads and witch hazel on a cotton ball to help with hemorrhoids. Try something a little stronger than a regular stool softener and not really strong. Try doculax it normally works for me.
