Is it OK to remove stool with finger?

View allI'm dealing with some really frustrating potty problems. For the past 2 years, I've been having irregular bowel movements, and it's just so irritating. I've been taking sorbolene syrup and cubs her, but it's not helping at all. What else can I do to get some relief?
Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals..... Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week...

I've been dealing with constipation for about a year now, and it's been really tough. I end up straining a lot, and sometimes a small part of my rectum sticks out after I use the bathroom. It's kind of worrying because I can push it back in, but it still causes some pain, especially when I'm sitting. I also feel like I need to go to the bathroom around six times a day, which is pretty embarrassing and scary. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this without having to go through surgery. Any advice would be super helpful.
That could be hemarrhoids,Consume plenty of water and fibre rich food to avoid constipation and plan for surgery as that is the treatment of choice
