Weird feeling 5 weeks after hemorrhoidectomy

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi guys,

It´s been five weeks since I´ve had a hemorrhoidectomy. However, after each bowel movement, it still feels like my bowel is not empty in combination with a swollen feeling near my anus. I am afraid this means there are still hemorrhoids as I´ve always had that feeling before the surgery aswell. Could someone please tell me whether or not this is normal? I am very afraid that they already returned, although rationally the odds are very low..
