Hardening of stools (post partum)

Question

Asked for Female, 31 Years

25 days back I have delivered a baby (normal delivery ) . I was given various meds for next 7 days which includes pentaparazol also. From last 7 days I am facing difficulty in passing stools as stools r becoming very hard. It is very very painful. I am breastfeeding my baby. Is it due to breastfeeding?.I am not getting enough sleep also. I am taking fibre rich food n also 3l of water every day. 3 days back I have started taking 30ml duphalac but it is not helping much. What is reason for stool hardening n how can it be treated? Thanks.
