Hello, I am on day 9 after my hemorrhoidectomy and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. I am mostly pain free except post BM, which a bath quickly resolves. One thing that has me worried is that I am having a hard time controlling the release of my BMs. I am eating a light diet with plenty of fiber as well as taking some fiber supplements and stool softeners. I have a BM every morning shortly after waking up. When the urge comes on, i squeeze my sphincter, which causes pain, and can contain it until I make it to the toilet. However anything longer than 30 sec to a minute and I start loosing control. I can’t tell if it’s because the pain is not allowing me to squeeze as much as I need to or if there is a more serious issue. What does actual incontinence feel like? Any advice is appreciated.
