While i dont have six kids just 2 I get it. I am texting in the tub as I am on my 3rd BM in a little over an hour. I was in excruciating pain and discomfort the first week even making an ER visit for pain meds whch my Dr. Would not prescribe. I am pretty regualar and dont worry much about constipation. I also add two stool softeners one morning andd evening. I usually only tale meds after my morning BM's because the pressure and pain can be overwhelming. I usually have some blood in my second amd third BM. This is common and may last for months per sources. Good luck and a speedy recovery.

I had Hemmorgoid surgery 2 days ago. Was afraid of my 1st BM but had one this morning (2 days later) and yes it stings but I was given lactulose and it bloody works! I was also told to rinse my bottom under the shower instead of wiping it and my god it feels great! I am nervous about my BMs (having my 2nd one now sorry for being crude but still scared). However the fear is in the mind and if you can put up with a pin prick whilst pooping you will be fine. If worried sit in a bath of warm luke water and pass your Bm in the tub. Who cares if its gross but warm water is your best friend. I feel a lot better after rinsing under the shower thats for sure. My diet so far is cup a soup, apples (tinned) and sarnies plus granola slices. I was given antibiotics and lactulose. I was also one of those who googled peoples stories and some of them were so scary I was scared myself. But that is why I am writing this there honestly is nothing to fear.
My only advice is if you don't have a full bowel movement do not push! Clean up,have a drink take a walk and wait till your body says its time for another go. That is how I am doing it and yes I feel a little nausea but I also keep a bottle of water in the bathroom so I keep hydrated. It works for me so I hope my story helps you all.
Good Luck. Just remember fear is in the mind, pain is a good thing. Just make sure you open the windows so you can breathe and simply go slow as possible!

Yes it is painful, no getting away from it but there are things that REALLY can help.
1. Take your meds as prescribed.
2. Warm sitz baths really do help and aid healing as well as keeping things clean.
3. Probably the best advise I picked up - STAND with knees bent, leaning forward to have BM’s. It made a huge difference to me, no straining, if it doesn’t come out, don’t panic just bide your time and try again later. DON’T strain! Use stool softeners in the first few days, not fibre gel (it’s too bulk forming initially).
4. I wrapped a couple of ice cubes in a baby wipe and clenched it for 5 mins against my anus. This gave temporary relief and seemed to shrink what felt like swelling.
I searched the internet for help as I have suffered colitis and IBS (diarrhoea form) all my adult life (50+ years) and a week ago underwent surgery for a prolapsed mucosal lining and hemoroidectomy of a grade three hem. Within a couple of days I had stopped the stool softener and was having to take codeine phosphate to stop the continual BM’s. How to have soft stools but not to have to pass them on and off all day long, bearing in mind how painful just once a day is?? Any suggestions welcomed.
Lastly, I feel better than I did 7 days ago so there is light at the end of the tunnel even if that tunnel seems to be a pretty long one!!

I had a hemoroidectamy on 3/28/17. Still have pain and bleeding during bowel movements. The pain is decreasing daily. I take alot of sits baths and wipe everytime with witch hazel pads. I have been taking tylanol and ibprohen for pain. The doctor prescribed ox's did not take any. Pain is pain ,its going to be there with or without the narcotics. I just chose not to take the oxy's to many horror stories on them leading to opioid addiction.

I'm 6 weeks post haemmoroidectomy, I now have very little discomfort post BM, am virtually back to normal, however, started to bleed a few days ago. Took a look at the area & could see small pinpoint wound with blood so assume this the cause. Seems any pushing is causing some kind of breakage inside, giving it a few days to see if it stops then phoning consultant to check. Recovery is slow but sure, am glad I had the op but it's not for the faint hearted.

Hello...I had my surgery done on 05-02-16. I was unable to have a bowel movement by 05-06 even after doing everything I was told, fiber and stool softeners. I went to the ER on 05-05 to get some type of relief. They gave me a laxative to drink and I was sent home. That night I had a bowel movement, I bled like I was pouring pictures of red Kool-aide with every bowel movement. By the next morning I weak and lightheaded. I drove myself back to the ER. They looked at me like I was crazy and checked my vitals, low blood pressure. They ran a blood test checked my hemoglobin and it was usually around a 12 but came back at 9. I had loss 3 grams of blood. They add me and I was released today after they gave me a blood transfusion because my count was down to 7.3 and an adult should range from 12 to 15. I got back up to 9 and came home today. I still feel weak but better than I did before I went to the hospital. I am now awaiting the healing process and as we know the pain is unbearable. I'm on Norcos 7.5....NOTHING!! I hate having to go take BM. I'M JUST READY TO GET ON WITH MY life!! I'm fired and fatigue at times. Lay around a lot but do sitz baths, stool softener and fiber. Don't know how I ended up like this to begin with and did everything I was suppose to do after surgery.

i had surgery in March of 2016 and still am in tremendous pain with minor bleeding. My doctor is blowing me off, cancels appointments and tells me to call if anything arises. It has never settled down! I was so much better before this surgery and regret ever having it done, it completely ruined my life.

I had a complete internal hemorrhoidectomy on 10/11/2016. It was done on a somewhat emergent basis as I originally was scheduled for a much lesser surgical procedure (forget the name of it but it had 3 initials). When they opened me up, I was spraying blood all over the OR. Thus the emergent hemorrhoidectomy. As if the pain wasn't bad enough, I continued to bleed every single day. 13 days post-op I went for my first post-op visit with the surgeon and told her I was still gushing out blood. She set me up for an exam under anesthesia on 10/27/2016 at which time she stapled, sutured and cauterized. Now it is 12/15/16 and I continue to bleed daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I have increased my fiber intake, am on Align probiotics once a day, eat veggies, greens and fruits and take Colase p.r.n. all to no avail. This is ridiculous. I keep thinking to myself I underwent two surgeries within 16 days of each other and all the agonizing pain I had especially after a BM, and for what? Nothing is any different. As a matter of fact, I'm bleeding more now than I did before.

Please I'd like to know if any of the many people posting to this have recovered after long periods of pain?
Late June 2016 I started having this horrible pain when driving on long drives. It felt like I was going to drop my intestines in the seat of my car. When I called my Dr. he said my sigmoidoscopy showed several large internal hemorrhoids that appeared thrombosed and referred me to a gastro gastroenterologist. He said my symptoms seemed more like a fissure than hemorrhoids but setup for me to have exam under anesthesia. That surgeon was leaving for vacation so another surgeon did the surgery. The surgeon told me if I wanted the hemorrhoids treated I had to have a hemorrhoidectomy because the I wasn’t a candidate for the alternative treatments. So I had a full internal hemorrhoidectomy on 07/05/2016.
At first all was well, didn’t even really have any pain. Nurse said I could eat 6 hours after surgery resuming my normal diet with a high focus on fiber. I listened and ended up with a “blockage”. It was basically an obstruction they chose not to operate on because liquids could still get around it.
I can’t even describe the pain, to even touch it I was dropping 10-20mg of oxycodone every 4 hours just to maintain the ability to move. The doctor put me on a clear liquid diet until it passed which finally happened on 07/20/2016. This was the single most painful experience of my life. The chunk of coal that came out of me looked like a black and red version of the “Thing” from the Fantastic 4. The surgeon kept me on the clear liquid diet until I had to break it at 30 days because I was starting to get crazy dizzy spells. It wasn’t too hard to stay on the diet because the sheer fear of experiencing that pain was enough to motivate one to starve to death rather than risk something coming back out of them.
At first it took 10-20mg Oxycodone just for me to be able to walk. It was horrid and my infrequent BMs were small, pasty, more blood than stool and still very painful.
Trying every ointment in the world to get the pain to be bearable finally one helped, diltiazem ointment. Unfortunately it caused a pretty bad rash, which developed into a perirectal abscess and eventually a MRSA infection in the entire perirectal area. Because the surgeon refused to test the first one for MRSA I had to have 2 surgeries. One for the perirectal abscess and one for the abscess that grew close by (under a very manly location). Through all this the pain persisted, although the specialist I saw for this refused to work on it until they had corrected the MRSA. So on 12/28/2016 I did a follow up exam under anesthesia and it was determined I was very irritated, however healing well and they saw no visible reason for the pain. I received Botox injections that I was told “should” help the way diltiazem did.
It is now almost 5 months from the original surgery. The pain during a BM is massive. Sometimes depending on the BM I can be laid up the entire day in pain. It’s hard for me to push it all out so if there’s follow up BMs those have to be done in the bathtub because the pain of attempting the toilet again is unbearable.
I used all my sick time, vacation time, and eventually was released from my job because my health was interfering too much with my ability to work. I went on disability leave on 11/04/2016 after the surgery for the abscess (when the MRSA began).
My boss said my Job is waiting for me but only when I’m back to 100%. My job however requires a lot of driving, sometimes 300+ miles a day. There’s no way I could travel to the bay area, stop and use a restroom for a BM at a business, then drive myself home, I’d be wrecked!
They haven’t allowed me pain killers in months. I’ve been through 4 surgeons and they’ve pretty much all written me off. They’re not giving me any more time off work either.
This ordeal has been horrid and the pain is so unbearable I’d rather not live than live my life this way. In the last 5 months I’ve spent more time sitting in a tub in my own stool than I probably did my entire childhood. I’ve had more “I can’t take this anymore” moments than I ever imagined living through.
I have a great job that I love waiting for me but it won’t wait forever. I’m in immense lasting pain somewhere between every other day to every other day. I have exhausted every resource I know as well as every last one Kaiser seems to know.
Is this my life now? Is there hope? I feel as though I’ve tried everything and I’m no closer to recovery than I was 3 months ago. I’m angry all the time from the pain, I spend days at a time in bed and I feel as if there may be no hope left. This is wrecking my life.
Please if anyone has had a similar experience and found a light at the end of the tunnel that wasn’t the famous light you’re not supposed to walk into I would love to know. Please let me know if there is hope?

Hi ,
To all I feel your post hemorriodectomy. Dave from the UK. I'm post op 12 weeks. This operation takes up-to 6 months to fully heal. There are some rules I would love share with all who experience this operation. Tips I guess to help. That really has worked.
1/ Ask the hospital for instillagel. Local anesthetic in a syringe. Prior bowel movement. Post movement for two weeks post op.
2/ Have a shallow bath. Add a little salt to the bat water, bathe Straight after BM. As your muscles down there are relaxed. Soak 20 minutes.
3/Use Fibrogel, sachets 2-3 a day. These are a god send. Bran sachet . They help to keep your BM formed but soft. Not runny. Which will cause more prone to infection if your BM are liquid. After week 6-8. Drop down to 1 sachet per day. Drink at least 3 pints of water through the day.
4/ You will experience a yellow discharge. Some poop leakage too. Don't be alarmed. Your muscles have been opened to extreme. Lol. Anyway. When you feel this leakage. You must try to clean up straight away. Little water, soap etc..
5/ So take a dip in a warm/hot bath for 20 mins after BM. Plus have another bath at night before bed. All this helps with healing the area.
6/ I get all the degrading leakage, one thing I forgot to mention. If your a man. Be glad of lady monthly pads. There another god send. Helps to suppress the leakage. Change 2-4 tines a day. Happy days. the pain is hard mentally, physically drains you in and out the tub. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Use the items, make a list. You won't go far wrong.
7/ Don't sit on your butt for any long periods for the first 8 weeks. Try an walk when you can, not to much. Little by little. This operation will take up-to 6 months. Due too the area. It's a roller coaster of 1 step forward. Two steps back. Blood, tears, anxiety, frustration. But listen. Use the things above with a good diet. Bingo you will come through this. It's a long one. Good luck to all. Feeling your pain and discomfort. Dave. England. UK.

This surgery was necessary due to 4 years of doctors telling me that they had no idea why I had constant diarrhea or why I felt sick after eating. To find out that the duodenal diverticulitis I had was squeezing my pancreas. And, because the papilla of vater is too close to where I need to have surgery, my drug choice is Immodium. So, finally get to use Percocet for pain relief; I will take the hard stools even though I think this is what Hell feels like. I'm not even allowed Percocet for severe pancreatitis. And if "Google" is correct, I have five more years to live? From an outgoing personality to a "not going anywhere personality", joy joy! At this time, the only organ in my body that works is my Liver...I'm going to go fix that, CHEERS! SMILES!

I just had 2 hemorrhoids removed 5/17/17. My dr wasn't sure what he was facing until he got in there. After the surgery he told me he cut 2 out and I will be cussing him during my first bm. So far I haven't had a bm but I'm so scared of it

Day 5 of 4 hemmoroids removed two big guys outside and 2 medium inside. I'm not gonna be one of those on the internet that cries it's the end of the world, anxiety ridden Debbie downer. Pain does suck, not the worst. Take the pain pills, ice your butt, take epsom hot baths, WATCH what you eat. Fiber keep it soft going in so it's soft going out. Stay away from dairy, constipates you. Take the stool softners they will help. Wait a couple days before you bathe so it can heal better. Don't freak out if you can't go poop the first day or two it's all normal you had surgery on your butt. Make sure you drink fluids and pee. That stomach pain is probably gas or from the pain meds again don't listen to the Debbie downers on here. Especially after the first 2 or 3 days. make sure you pop your pain meds before you poop jump in to your hot tub once you finish. You will survive believe me. Don't eat like a slob either all that has to come out keep it simple. Again not the end of the world, you are not the first and won't be the last. You will survive. Everyday will be a little better handy in there stay away from Debbie downward on here. Nobody reports how wonderful it is only how much it sucked.
