Dr. Evan Goldstein, an anal health expert, suggests using medical-grade silicone anal toys to relax the rectum and pelvic muscles as an effective method to relieve constipation. This approach can help make bowel movements less painful and more frequent by improving muscle flexibility and encouraging deep breathing. For those uncomfortable with this method, traditional remedies like stool softeners and hydration are also recommended.
Dr. Evan Goldstein, an anal surgeon, advises against traditional wiping with toilet paper due to potential skin irritation and damage around the anus. He recommends using a bidet or a quick rinse instead, and if toilet paper must be used, to blot rather than wipe. Wet wipes are discouraged as they can disrupt the microbiome and cause dermatitis and bacterial infections. Goldstein also suggests standing up to finish wiping to reduce pressure and blood flow to the area, emphasizing the importance of gut health for overall anal well-being.
