Just had haemorrhoid banding and botox injections for anal fissure - No BM after 24 hours

Hey folks,

I am 28m and I have had anal fissures for 6 years. Yesterday I went under General Anesthetic to have botox injections for this as well as 4 hemorrhoid's banded. I had that real sharp and dull ache all day yesterday and took tramadol and paracetamol for them, as well as a muscle relaxant.

Today I woke up pretty much pain free. Yester evening I had quiet a large meal with physillium husk and vegetables for breakfast. I have been passing gas and urinating but it's been over 25 hours and I have had NO bowel movement.

I'm panicking as I've sat on the toilet and strained and caused a lot of bleeding trying to get stools out. It feels like nothings up there.

Is this normal? Usually I have 3 bowel movements a day. This is making me really anxious. When should I see a doctor?

I made the mistake of straining and I passed mucus and blood doing it. Can you give me any help, or advice?

Cheers

    After I had banding to 3 hems they told me I may not pass a stool for a few days.

    Had you taken any laxatives before procedure? I did but I didn't go under GA so they said the laxatives would of cleared me out.

    I would really try not to strain or sit on toilet if you don't need it.

    You'll get a movement try not to worry.

      Maybe call the surgeons secretary and they will advise you.

      I would provably say its pretty normal after that procedure however.

      Keep drinking loads and loads of water.

      My BM were not how they were pre procedure for a few days post procedure.

      I wish that the Drs had told me to use a stool softener for a good few weeks after as unfortunately for me the banding has not worked.

      I am now using Lactulose daily to try avoid bleeding which doesnt always work but I dont want surgery.
