i am 9 days postop, I want to walk but I feel like I am going to have bm every time I stand. Is this normal? Also, just found a stitch hanging out about inch out of anus. It's hard to sitz bath , very uncomfortable for me. I am doing baths.
Just looking for some info or help with situation
It's now 3 weeks and I'm still in pain. Now I have lots of blood. I mean a lot of blood. Anybody else have this?
Me too. Day 13 now. I started feeling this when I increased prune juice, colace, and started on light Miralax to counteract constipation. For me, the urge does indicate I have poop stuck there that wants to come out. Because I am constipated, I couldn't empty it each time. I try to lie horizontally to reduce the urge. Sometime I just couldn't hold - the urge was too strong - then I will have another painful struggle to get some out. Quite a hell... right now! I wonder when my constipation will go away.
To follow up with my post (under name Peggy) above, I finally decided to I need to put an end to the constipation. After one hour sitting is a hot tub, I got it all out. My urge immediately died down. I also realized I was too aware of the pain and unintentionally avoided pushing previously. And that's the reason I was constipated, and thus the urge. So if you have the urge, maybe you can try some "pushing":)
