I had a good post-op and was still bleeding at the time in mid-may. The bleeding stopped a few days later as the doctor said it would. Three weeks later and I have had blood -- just always after the second bm of my day. Normally, I was only going once without blood. I had two days in a row with blood after three
Weeks without. No pain. I called the surgeon, and he wants me to come in, which isn't a good sign. I just want to be done once and for all! So worries!

As an added note, I have had constipation.

How much blood? It could be just from an internal hemorrhoid. If there is no pain, I would not worry too much. See the surgeon anyway, just in case.

There's no pain, but that's been the status quo since the third week or so post-surgery. Bleeding, on the other hand, has been the bigger problem. It stopped about 7 weeks out, and now,3 weeks later here we are with no warning sign. It was really itchy last night. I wonder if it is granulation tissue. It's also weird it is after the second bm each day and never the first. Neither time is it a hard or difficult either. It's very strange and frustrating.

So, the two days were it so far...knock on wood. 3 days now without bleeding, but have only had my more typical one bm (versus the two last week that have me bleeding after the second one). Very strange. I have had more irritation/itchiness/scratchiness (feels like scabbing skin getting pulled on, for lack of an accurate description) today. There was some more general pain when lifting around 20-30 pounds in the tailbone area. Appointment soon.

Hi vdb, do you still take miralax or another softener?

Hi vbd, I suggest not lifting anything - I always got a recurrence of pain if I lifted things. Tell people you've got a bad back, if you need to.

Yes, I am still taking Miralax and a softener. Today, it is unbearably itchy! Still no blood, though. I am about ready to scream from the itchiness!

CRS visit today.
He saw nothing that indicated bleeding. Fissure is gone (ptl); internal hemorrhoids too small.
Weird, as I definitely had two days of it less than a week ago.
Same goes for the itchiness.
He did recommend I increase Metamucil, remove either the softener or Miralax, and discontinue use of wipes.

Hi VDB,
So, the Fissure is gone! That's great news..... As for the other things, I'm sure they'll improve in time. You've done brilliantly and you're an inspiration...... X
