Stool stuck in anus or Rectum dk
I have been experiencing constipation for the past few days. Initially, I did not pass stool for two days. On the third day, I felt the urge to pass stool but had to hold it in. When I eventually went to the toilet, passing stool became very difficult. The main problem is that the stool does not seem to be stuck inside my rectum. It comes down and reaches the anal opening whenever I try to pass stool, but its size seems too large in proportion to the anal opening, making it difficult or almost impossible to pass. Only a small portion comes out, while the rest remains inside. Whenever I try to pass stool, I experience significant pain and a burning sensation, almost as if the anal area is tearing. The doctor prescribed me the following medicines today: 1. Relux Syrup 2. Pantocid DSR Capsules 3. O.S/L Ointment.                 Will these medicines help soften the stool that is currently halfway out and stuck at the anal opening, so that I can pass it without experiencing severe pain?

This sounds like a large, hard stool causing a small tear at the anal opening, which is a common cause of severe pain with constipation. The laxative syrup should gradually soften the stool over a day or two, the antacid is likely for an associated acid issue, and the ointment is meant to ease local pain and help the area heal.
Next Steps
Keep taking the prescribed medicines as directed, drink plenty of water, and add fibre from fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your meals. A warm sitz bath after using the toilet can ease the pain while it heals.
Health Tips
See your doctor again if the pain worsens, the bleeding doesn't stop, or you're still unable to pass stool after a day or two on these medicines.
