Agreed - for me add body shaking, sobbing and my husband looked like he wanted to run when I approached him after. This Experience should be treated as a true loner. Lol
Good advice. I had this surgery twice. Once about 7years ago. It must have been more intense because I just had the 2nd surgery and I don’t even need the pain pills. I am having an issue with the ever popular “can’t go” situation. I will add my advice: Take stool softeners with your narcotics, drink lots of water and prune juice. I found the shower to be more comfortable than the sitz bath on the 1st intense surgery. It eliminated the pain pronto - without stretching the stitches - a hand shower is recommended highly. I also paid about $70 for a good raised toilet seat with handles. That is worth every penny if you have short toilets or issues getting off.
I have had no pain killers this surgery — I have discomfort but no real pain. But if I feel a BM coming on, I’m going to take one at that very moment — an a stool softener. Lol.

Sudeocream seems to help me
. Give the area more air circulation when you are able to use no underpants or lay nude in the sun. To dry the area
Hi i have did my surgery 6 days ago almost a week.. first of all surgery is easy but after you first bowl movement u will have an intense pain for 30 min or 1 hour .. remember dont strain for too long nor push out ur bowl strongly u will be having sutures inside. I have an surgery of hemorrhoids ext/internal and fissure as well... so just sit in a big tub of warm water put a salt in it + iodine.. always eat lots of fibre + water never ever eat spicy food chips or etc bcz after bowl movement u will die bcz of pain u will have .... have a dressing after each bowl movement clean ur anal area with iodine , put a cream on it hemorrhoids cream.. eat pills the pain killer and anti biotic as well stool softener ... and if u can walk i prefer walk for 15 min so u can get the digestion as well ..
Baking soda in the bath water helps tremendously with diaper rash, whether it's on babies or adults. Just sprinkle a couple of tablespoons in the water. It resets the PH of your skin so the irritation is eased. Hope this helps.
An added note to anyone who has had urinary retention.. (not sure how this would work on females.. ) but this worked like magic for me.. the urge to pee was so great I thought I was going to have to go get a Cath. .. so my wife reads online laying in warm Tubwater may help.. I don't want to take a bath everytime I urinate, so.. fill a small(ish) Tupperware with warm water and as soon as the warm water touches your.. weavos.. Bing. Like magic, suddenly you can go.. and yes day 6 and I am being poked by a stitch or two, and one seems long! It's Sunday so going to call tommorow for an appointment.. anyhoo hope the above tip can help someone, many tips and posts here have been life savers for me. Thank you!
I am experiencing the exact same pain. It’s been 8 days and I am still recovering. The after surgery is no joke.

I am in my 9th month post-op and still have discomfort and dryness. And I have chafing if I have more than 1 BM a day. Presc med and desiten oint helps.
I'm on a post hemorrhoid surgery. If I'm on a liquid diet only, should I still take stool softeners? And how long before the stitches dissolve?
