Blood After Bowel Movement - 6 Months Post Surgery

20 Year Old Male

Had the Pilonidal Cyst Removed in Late January. Healing went fine, went for followups up until May and he said "you should be good now". It was left open so healing took a while. Took three showers daily as instructed and antibiotics for like 2-3 weeks. 

I would say the thing I almost never did was take the stool softener he also told me to take. Right now it appears 98% healed. I ONLY bleed from the wound after a bowel movement. 

Should I just take stool softener for 2 weeks and see what happens? If no change, go back to Dr?
