Why does it hurt after you have a big bowel movement?

There are many things that can cause pain when having bowel movements, some are minor and benign (like when you eat some hot chiles and the next day you feel the "second burn"), and others are extremely serious and need immediate medical attention. It also depends upon where the pain is, at the rectum or inside the bowel, for example. Many people have hemorrhoids and they can cause rectal pain. Minor constipation can cause an uncomfortable bowel movement, if you drink more water and eat more fiber, you can help prevent that. But any time you have changes in your bowel habits or pain or discomfort with BMs, you should check with your health care professional right away.

How long does it take for internal hemorrhoids to fully go away?

It actually can depend on what caused it. If the cause is still occurring then it won't go away. Or if it does, then it will certainly come back again until you stop the cause.

Here's a few tips to help along the way.

Wipe with soft toilet paper only. Add some aloe and witch hazel to soothe and repair. No more straining or forcing on the toilet! Eat more veg and fruit. And buy some fiber powder to add to a glass of water each day. Then make sure you drink 8 glasses of water each day. You want the poo to slip out nice and easily and fiber helps this to happen if combined with lots of water.

How does food with fibers help prevent constipation?

Your body doesn't digest fiber, which allows it to scrape against your intestine wall and clear off any blockage.

However, too much fiber can lead to constipation. (Because it doesn't get digested)

Is a fingerlike projection in the lining of the small intestine?

If you have a finger like projection in the small intestine, seen by a scope, or X-ray? If seen by scope, it's usually a polyp. They are fairly common, in the large bowel they would remove it during a colonoscopy. In the small bowel if they have seen with a scope it has to be close to the stomach or close to large bowel. I would think they would remove polyps they can see. It doesn't hurt, and they would send it to the lab. to have it checked.

How is the Tapeworm spreading among humans?

Tapeworms most easily spread between humans because not enough people wash their hands regularly. Tapeworms can be spread by eating faecally contaminated foods and water (again, often the result of poor hygiene), by touching your mouth with contaminated fingers, or by accidentally ingesting contaminated soil. Fleas can harbour tapeworm larvae, and when they clean themselves and eat the fleas, this is a sure way to spread tapeworm - especially when family members then allow the pets to lick them, especially their hands.

It is highly possible for infection to occur through people eating undercooked meat, particularly pork, which can carry the tapeworm larvae in the meat.

Pets, dogs in particular, should be treated at the same time as human family members. Tapeworm and many other worms are easily treated by chewable tablets purchased across the counter in pharmacies (chemists) and, in the case of pets, from the veterinarian

Tapeworm can live for up to 25 years and usually grows several yards/metres in length. You must take the full course and if you're re-infected take another full course. Sometimes it takes more than one course of treatment to eradicate the worm or worms.

How food passes from the mouth to the rectum?

  1. Food is chewed into small bits and mixed with saliva in the mouth to start the digestive process.
  2. The food is then swallowed and then pushed down the esophagus.
  3. It enters the stomach where it is mixed with acid and further broken down into soft mush using hydrochloric acid that is produced there for the occasion.
  4. The mush (called chyme) goes into the small intestine where it is turned into a liquid and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream.
  5. From there it goes into the large intestine where some water is absorbed. Small amounts of toxins from the blood may be added to the material.
  6. Then it finally arrives at the rectum...
  7. ...And leaves the body via the anus.
