General Health Information

A fecal impaction is another potential cause of bloody constipation
because it is basically a blockage which does not allow any more waste
beyond it. A fecal impaction will cause the feces to dry up and harden
as time goes on so that there will come a point when no new waste will
pass beyond the blockage. Despite a growing urge to have a bowel
movement, a person will strain harder and harder to get less and less
waste evacuated. The persistent straining causes the anus veins to
swell and burst and bloody constipation is the result.
