Use of Softeners

Fellow haemorrhoidectomy survivors
How long did you guys use softeners post op ??
I read ppl haven’t come off them even months after the op ...
Is this the norm ?
I suspect I’ll be on them for a while ..

Hi
I'm 8 weeks post op tomorrow and I'm still taking 2 coloxyl /senna twice a day and about 10 mls of lactulose. Some days I drink Metamucil once a day also . I'm drinking anywhere beteeen 1.5-2.5 litres of water a day and have increased my Fibre in my diet before surgery . If I feel I'm going to be passing a harder stool I use 1/2 gycerol suppositories . I'm so worried of being constipated and passing hard stools as I get pain after and aches/throbbing still . I think I may have a small thrombosed haemorrhoid developed too. My GP reckons taking all this is ok , I'm seeing my surgeon this week for my first check up so will check with him if what I'm doing is ok . I'm worried about becoming reliant on all this to keep me regular and soft stools . I can't believe this is still such a big part of my life 8 weeks on !
