Hi, I just had my procedure done 4 days ago. The first 2 days wasn’t terrible but now that I am pooping, the pain is unbearable. Worst than my back surgery. Also I seems to go often but little poo comes at a time. Is this normal? An god the burning, The pressure it makes everything worst. They said not to push... how can u not push when you poo? Anybody has any suggestion to relieve the burning sensation? Oh I do sitz bath at the same time while i poop... it’s kind of gross I know 😭

Bun pooping whilst sitting in the sitz bath is the only way that I can have a bm. Believe me you're not alone! Lol x as soon as I have a bm I empty it and put fresh water in it as hot as I can bear and sit in it. It seems to calm the stinging and burning after about 15 mins xx

I found the urge to push absolutely overwhelming. I just couldn't help myself. Scalding hot baths were the only thing that would take the pain away for me. The Dr gave me some ointment to dab on after baths which was very soothing. I also cut the fingers out of latex gloves, put water in them and froze it...fit nice between my butt cheeks and really helped. There is no quick fix I'm afraid...just grin and bear it. I was in rough shape for 3 weeks and took sleeping pills to get through the night (and day). Good luck friend...youre not alone.

Highly recommend applying Sudocrem before and after BM. It coats the wound a little and really helped me with the burning. The warm sitz bath right after BM was a nice relief and then the layer of Sudocrem was a lifesaver. It doesn't take the pain away completely but does bring it from an 11/10 to 7/10 the first few days. It gradually gets better. I found mine on Amazon but it looks like they don't sell it anymore. eBay still has it. Good luck. You will feel better soon. The worst is behind you.
