There seem to be many products to help with constipation. But are there any remedies for loose, poorly formed stools? I tried eating more fiber, but that hasn’t helped.

I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area. It seems to get filled with blood when I put more pressure while using the toilet. It’s almost like swollen skin — very soft, without any hardness. What could this be? Are there any home remedies?

For the past few months, I’ve had bloating and bowel movement changes such as constipation, diarrhea, slim stools, mucus-type stools, and bowel movements that I’d consider violent and explosive. I went to an urgent care center, where I was told I was impacted — with advice to buy stool softeners. The pain lasted 3-5 more days. I have had no weight loss, but I am tired a lot. Any suggestions?
