Hello,
The lax a day is a very good choice during breastfeeding.
Fixing the constipation is going to be a priority. This is probably what caused the other problems. The lax a day can help in this case. If the stool is too hard you can also try a glycerin suppository (this will have a laxative effect but will also help soften the stool that is very hard). If the lax a day is not enough you can add a soft laxative like senokot.
For hemorrhoids/fissures, a soothing cream like anusol or preparation H can help relieve the pain and itching symptoms. However, when there is a fissure or bleeding it is better to go and see a doctor. A fissure is quite difficult to get rid of and there is a possibility of infection
I don't think you need to go to the emergency room, but if possible consult your family doctor.
Sincerely
Pierre Olivier
