small,hard sounds like metal

[haron30]

I have small,hard stool that sounds like metal or something.Sometimes i have bloody pieces of tissue in my stool.and i don't mean toilet tissue.And my stomach just doesn't work.Most people have a bowel movement when their body tells them,well i have one only when i strain really hard.And i thought maybe the blood was from hemroids,but it's in the stool itself.has anyone ever heard anything like this or maybe know why this would be....

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
You have severe constipation and passing hard stools itself can cause injury to mucosa of gut and bleeding. Chronic constipation can be due to diet poor in roughage or fiber and also due to dehydration. A high roughage with low water too could be a cause.  Diabetes and hypothyroidism, colon disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular diseases, cancers, severe acidity etc can all cause constipation. It can also be due to milk allergy and other food allergies. Too many tape worms or round worms forming a bolus or ball could also be the cause. A proper investigation is required preferably by a gastroenterologist (a doctor who looks after the digestive system) to know what is the cause. The treatment will follow correct diagnosis.
Meanwhile increase fluid intake and roughage in your diet. Hope this helps. Take care!

you could have irratable bowl syndrome or if you are not going regular you could have constipation in the bowls. the blood could be an infection or you could have a little bleed in your bowl. you need to see your doctor who may give you some laxatives to make you go and make it feel easier to go. i hope you get better soon and i hope i have helped in some way.
