    Did anyone find a solution or cause? It's my 4th day after surgery and i have had 8 BMs today, the first ones were just small orbs (?) but now they are normal size though they are not normal composition since I have had so many meds these days.

    It hurts a lot, i tear up , this is torture.

      I would Definitely consider seeing a doctor. If your stool is hard and you are constipated it will most likely cause tour colon to break it up causing it to come out as small orbs. Before i had sugery i did not stick to a soft diet and held my bowel because of the pain after cause similar stool but not so frquent. I took miralax, a stool softener to make stool more possible. I also had finer powder in my juice, lots of water and apple sauce. I also asked my doctor for perscribed numbing cream that helped a little.  It has been a month now the sharp stabbing pain is gone but ti still have some pain. It is important to maintain a healthy high fiber diet. I am still traumatized from my  Hemorrhoidectomy and i am fighting to never let that happen again.

I know you are past that surgery now , but please reply and tell me how it got resolved for you. My doctor does not know what to do at this point assuming that I am healing well ....Appreciate your reply.

    Hey there!

    I had my my hemorrhoid ectomy surgery on Thursday, April 22, 2021. I went for a follow up last week and my surgeon said I still had a slight tear/possible Fisher. He gave me an ointment for it and I’m not sure if it is doing anything or not. I still have blood on toilet paper and I poop anywhere between 4 to 6 times a day. It has almost been three months since my surgery. Is anyone else experiencing the same symptoms? Especially the frequent bowel movements.

      hi,

      i had my surgery around the same time. april 9, 2021. I'm still going at least 4 times a day. i find it's better when i back off the stool softeners but even still i tend to run to the bathroom every time i eat. it's exhausting to be honest. and sometimes there's not a lot of warning. i am getting a few hours of calm in the afternoons though so I'm hoping that's a sign of light at the end of the tunnel. My concern is that some of these trips only produce tiny tiny little stools. both in size and amount. i think anything that hits that internal scar tissue just triggers the need to go. i hope this resolves soon. i miss feeling normal.

      Hi,

      i was wondering has your frequent BM improved or back to normal now?

      i am in my 3rd week after surgery and still having BM 5-8 times a day still.

      BM doesnt hurt as much as it was during first 2 weeks...but the frequent BM trips can be annoying as i have to be close to bathroom so cant go anywhere.

      hi can you please let me know if this ever got better for you? And approximately how long it took? I am 12 days post operation, and honestly I’m starting to feel pretty good with the pain, the only problem I have is the urgency to run to the restroom every time I eat. It is starting to make me not want to eat and I am having about five bowel movements a day. I am lost about if this is normal or not and contacted my doctor yesterday. She told me to just stay in contact if he got worse. I’m nervous I will never be able to leave the house in the restroom again!

    Hi,

    I'm 6 weeks post op. Also have constant urge to go. It is impossible to to anything for first half of day because i need to bee close to the bathroom. As i've described in my post it is probably due to inner sphincter clenching. When you start to poop and stool goes over your "wounded area" at some point your inner sphincter (which you cannot control) will clench your muscles and prevent further stool to pass. Then you get up, walk around,sit or whatever and after some time,when sphincter relaxes a bit you will get new urge to go.

    P.S.

    I've been reading many post regarding post hem. surgery and there are many people that needed many months to recover properly. I believe we are mostly just frustrated and eager to return to normal life asap, but sometimes patience is required as hard as it may sound. I feel you guys and wish you all speedy recovery.

    I am 7 months post-op and I can say I'm so glad I had the surgery; 1 prolapsed hem and 2 sides of internal columns scraped that were Grade IV hems. The recovery was as bad as everyone said it would be, and even worse. During the worst of it which was probably on and off for the first 2 months, I too was going numerous times a day - rabbit drops each time that felt like I was giving birth to a watermelon. I was always so regular before the surgery and that was the hardest part that it was no longer the case. The thing that saved me was drinking a ton of water, taking stool softeners daily for months, and soluble fiber 3 times a day. I was also fortunate to be able to work from home and be close to the bathroom. I am now completely normal, and would have to say that at the 4-5 month mark, I knew that things would only get better. The one thing I can say that has changed is that since the area is now so tight, it's difficult to determine gas from needing to have a BM. I don't have any leaking that many people have for months on end, and for that I am grateful. I loved reading this forum for tips and to know that I wasn't alone in how bad the recovery is. Hang in there, most of what everyone goes through is completely normal!! Wishing you all a speedy recovery!

    I had my surgery on July 26th. The first week was rough as I wouldn't have a bowel movement. Ended up going on a liquid diet and some magnesium citrate to help get me going. I kept my diet soft for the most part, even though I had no restrictions. Then it just started happening normally again. The overall pain was not bad for me at all. I went back to work after a week and it was tough getting to a bathroom, but I managed. Everyday has gotten better since the surgery. My bowel movements are all over the map but I figure it will normalize before too long. I had a great doctor so that helped. No more pain and bleeding after pooping. I feel normal again.
