I received a hemorrhoidectomy a week ago...and I'm doing moderately okay. I take stool softeners, and milk of magnesia...sitz baths, the whole nine. Well now my dilemma consists of the stitches aspect of the surgery...I've noticed that anytime a i poop...whether it be soft as hell, or hard, i feel an incredibly intense burning sensation in my anus...it's so bad that it can knock me off my feet. is something wrong? I've already seen a couple of my sutures come off on the toilet paper...and i kind of feel a stitch protruding from my anus. help! i cant bear to have another BM due to the incredible pain.

ps: and i leek a lot of poop from my butt...it just comes right out and my ass BURRRRRRRNS
