hemrrhoidectomy and sphincterotomy ~ 1 day post op PAIN!!!!

MamaShiznik over a year ago

Hi folks,

I am one day out from having a sphincterotomy and hemrrhoidectomy x 4 internals. I hurt so bad! I had not anticipated the hemrrhoidectomy, only the sphincterotomy, which ws going to have amuch shorter recovery time. I have been doing research and reading other's stories tha thave been though the same thing,a nd I all I have read are horror stories. Needless to ssay, I am terrified.

I am taking roxicet, milk of magnesia, and benifier. I am absolutely terrified of my first m. I just told my brother-in-law that it feels like Iam butt raping myself just when I fart, and I wasn't even trying to be funny!

So I was hoping I could get some encouragement from here,maybe a few personnal stories, some advice on how to make the first bm (and those after) as comfortale as possible, that kid of stuff.

Thanks on advance!

You may not experience your first bowel movements in the first 3, 4 days, which is quite normal. Perform your warm sitz bath daily and make sure you maintain a high fiber diet with lots of water so that your stools can be passed out more easily.

Just wear a pad lay in the fetal position on your bath room floor and just hold a pillow and push. Sitting on the toilet pout to much pressure on your bottom. Keep baby wipes handy. And take as much pain med as you can with and add Advil and Valium for
