Hi fellow sufferers! I had a hemorrhoidectomy 3 1/2 weeks ago and am troubled by passing gas a lot. Otherwise I'm doing ok, and life's getting back to normal-some pain at times when I overdo things, but nothing like the agony of the first 2 weeks. But does anyone have anything to report about the gas leaks??? Thanks.
Yes, happened to me too. I was passing out lots
of really smelly gas (embarrassing) for at least
a month after the surgery.
I think it's due to a combination of impaction and stagnation
of feces due to stenosis, constipation, changes in bowel flora,
lowered colon motility, surgical trauma and bleeding in that area
and not least, my IBS.
It should subside by the second to third month.
