Need advise on making stool soft after surgery

Postby Kio » 24 Dec 2016, 10:55

I have looked at other posts on this forum to make stool soft..but thise methods are not helping ...one month I stupidly went for schlerotherapy for chronic anal fissure.. but the treatment backfired and because my situation became worse I went for surgery fissurectomy and lateral anal sphincterotomy 2 weeks back. Now my wound is healing but during BM the pain is intolerable mainly because the stool size is too large .i.e. bristol 3 types and even after laxatives and eating fibre and drinking of a lot of water ..but still my stools are pretty large . This has happened after surgery maybe because of medication I am not sure..What should I do now...please help me

Hi Kio,
Sorry to hear your pain. My experience would be to avoid meat, eat plenty of fibre, and supplement with plenty of water. Movicol/Miralax and lactose based laxatives may also help. Also Fybogel (Ispaghula husk) may help.
Hope you feel better soon.
