So, you have frequent bowel movements that are usually hard? Or did you experience a sudden change in bowel movements? The description of the stool and bowel movements sounds like constipation but if you are going a lot you can't be constipated. Are you drinking enough water? Drinking water helps to loosen and soften the stool, which should make bowel movements less painful. You could also try otc stool softeners, though I haven't tried them myself so I can't say how helpful they would be. Large, difficult to pass bowel movements can cause rectal bleeding and hemorrhoids (internal and external), so it is possible that this is the cause of the bleeding. If your problems persist, I would suggest consulting with a gastroenterologist because you may need to have a colonoscopy done to make sure there is nothing serious wrong with you. You may be experiencing constipation-predominant IBS or another gastrointestinal condition that can be treated with medicine. I hope your problem gets resolved. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me.
