Is this normal?

    I had one done 2 months ago, and the first couple of weeks were rough, but hang in there, the bleeding will slowly stop, Just don't do anything too strenuous, and take as many siltz baths as possible they do help.

    Although i never really used any when i had mine done, I just stood alot, and layed down alot, but after the 2 months it should heal up all good.

    My advice, just stay possible, don't stress or worry too much about it, and it should be fine.

    Hope all goes well for you. smile

    At 6 days you are still in the bad stage, totally normal.  Takes 2-3 weeks to get over the worst of it.  It takes 6-8 weeks to get back to mostly "normal"

    Thanks for all the encouraging responses. I am 12 days out and the bleeding has basically stopped. No real pain, just general discomfort and itching.

    Stopped pain medication. Follow up with surgeon on 8/13. I can feel a small lump at the entrance of a us. Hope it is normal. Also, do you think that the surgeon will have to use an instrument to look deep into my rectum for the follow up? Not looking forward to that 😥

    That’s good to hear 

    I don’t think he will use anything 

    When I went to my check up he didn’t even look coz he said I believe it’s still sore and I said yes it is lol so we just spoke abt everything and I was just telling him how my recovery is going 

    I am now 5 weeks but still bit of blood comes with is making me so nervous I don’t like seeing blood but he said it’s all normal 

    I hope you are all well
