Hi,

On Wed morning, I had lots of large anal skin tags removed that required stiches. it is now Sat (4 days later) and I am basically useless. This morning I had 6 bowel movements and spent the whole morning under a shower head or sitting in a sitz bath. I am lying in pain on my side, unable to do anything.

anyone else have large anal skin tags removed? how did you manage pain from BM? when did you get better?

thank,

sharon

    I haven't gone through any skin tag removals, but this week I had a Thrombosed Hemorrhoid Excised (no stitches though, just left open to heal), so I think I'm in the similar pain space as you. It's still bleeding a little after 5 days, and still a bit painful. I manage the discomfort with 600mg of Ibuprofen every 8 hours, and ensure I take Benefiber and a stool softener before bed time.
