Pain was a dull throbbing combined with stinging the first couple of days. Went to the bathroom the day after surgery and it hurt but was bearable. Now (02/09/23) it's just discomfort and occasional pain. Going to the bathroom doesn't hurt anymore. Still dealing with a little bleeding, leakage, and a foul odor but I'm hoping this will clear up as I heal.
I sufferer with hemmorhoids for 12 years. Had several colonoscopies due to the random bleeding I was having. Digital rectum exams never found any hemmorhoids. Last colonoscopy I was so inflamed and doctor got a picture of an internal hemmorhoid or possible anal polyp. Referred me to a surgeon.
Personally, I'll do anything to get rid of these things. A little bit of pain is worth knowing I won't bleed through my clothes at work anymore.
Anyone considering this talk to your surgeon and doctors. Surgeon was able to tell me from pictures and symptoms that mine was internal and pain would he minimal. Even after surgery and having 1 external removed the pain wasn't too bad.

Pain Management: It's important to communicate with your doctor about your pain levels. If you're finding relief with a particular over-the-counter medication, be sure to discuss it with your physician to ensure it's safe and won't interact negatively with any other medications or affect your healing process.
Bowel Movements: It's common for bowel movements to be a significant source of pain after this surgery. Your method of squatting can indeed be beneficial, as it aligns the rectum in a more natural position for elimination. This method is akin to the benefits some people find using a "squatty potty" or other toilet stool. However, always ensure you're not straining, as that can worsen hemorrhoids and surgical sites.
Hygiene: Keeping the area clean is essential. Continue with the hot soaks or sitz baths as your doctor recommended. These not only help with hygiene but can also provide pain relief.
Diet: A high-fiber diet and drinking plenty of water can make stools softer and easier to pass. This can be beneficial in reducing the pain associated with bowel movements.
Activity: Rest as needed, but also try to move around periodically to promote blood flow and healing. Be cautious not to over-exert yourself.
Follow-Up: It's essential to keep your follow-up appointments with your surgeon or medical provider to monitor your healing process. If you feel there's a complication or the pain is unbearable, don't hesitate to reach out to them sooner.
Remember, everyone's recovery journey is unique. While it might seem challenging now, with proper care and patience, the post-op period will eventually pass.
