HELP! Severe constipation after hemorroid surgery
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi everyone,
Day 8 of my hem surgery. Right now, im super constipated from my oxy. i will prob get off them after this and suffer with pain instead of constipation. Does anyone have any advice how to get my BM going? ive taken metamucil and milk of mag/miralax and nothing for the past 3 days and nothing! its been 5 days since i had my first bm and im feeling super backed up. it feels like its at the brink of coming out but nothing when i go. and it hurts sooo much (the gas and fullness that cant be released is like a sharp pain). i am prob not drinking as much water as i should. my bladder is so small and it is so painful to pee bc of the butt muscle moving. i am also walking for 10 min at least once a day. any advice appreciated!!

i would say get prune juice as add to some of the steps you mentioned above .They help alot in softening things in the system .
Hopefully things go well but you have to stop those pain meds asap

Thank you so much!! It finally came out after 5 bathroom trips and it was the grossest, most painful, and relieving feeling ever!! I drank a whole bunch of water and just kept pacing back and forth bc it was too uncomfortable to walk or lay down. i am officially off the oxy and just now on cbd to help with the pain.
If youre also going thru this, hope youre doing well or on your way to recovery!

my strong recommendation is to stop the power pain killers and just take tylenol as required to avoid constipating yourself .Once BM is soft and you are not straining it will get less painful and you want to make sure u are jumping into a hot shower to clean up . It reduces the pain .Once at 2.5 weeks my oain level went to 30/100 overall and as each week passes tou will get better .
As for the skin tag ,it will remain there and continue to shrink gradually .Mine is still there too but does not cause pain other than it could get irritated if stress it as a result of frequent BM.
