Aside from hemorrhoids, it is theoretically possible to develop peritonitis from tearing the bowel and getting fecal matter into the abdominal cavity. However, that more often happens as a result of insertion of foreign objects as in homosexual practices. That can compound the problem. Stool softeners are available for other purposes. Talk to your doctor before doing anything. If you do not have a doctor, go to one of those free clinics. Your health is more important than saving face.

Do you mean pushing hard? If you have a long history of hard bowel movements you will have a higher risk of hemaroids in the future. Eat a bunch of Vitamin C and fruit!

I ti is possible that with a stool that was too hard, near impaction, that you could slightly tear the anal opening. However this would only be a small tear if it occurred. It would heal on its own.

it really depends on the pressure you apply i guess. you could get a hernia i think orrrr something with your stomach??well say if your bleeding...you may need to see a doc...OR change your diet. but try and stay regular so the stuff doesnt just sit in your stomach and come out like turbulence when your on the pot. but just watch it

I've heard of people getting aneurisms from trying too hard. Ever get too dizzy trying to get it out? Also, sometimes you may even tear the sphincter.

Yes they can. Try glycerine suppositories if you can't get soft regular evacuations with fiber and schedule?

Far as I know I don't think so. Butt might hurt afterward. Try to go everyday.
