Hi Waves,
Today marks day 5 since i have had LIS. I still feel tightness down there, and it really hurts to go to the bathroom. I am taking stool softeners and a fiber supplement after every meal, but i guess because the area is still healing because it feels hard when its coming out. But the consistency of the stool is soft and rubbery. Yesterday I struggled trying to move my bowels, and things got stuck, so i decided I would only go when there was the utmost urgency. Today I waited for that time, and man did i go. It was painful, and there was blood on the stool and a burning on the right side where the incision was made, and touching it with toilet paper i could see blood specs. Its crazy how it feels hard but the stool really isn't hard at all. I was also surprised at how much came out. Man was it alot lol. It didn't feel like that much when i was going but when i looked down after i was done, I was amazed lol. And i only felt pain and pressure from the incision site. Its hard to say if LIS is helping yet, being that the incision site is in the same area where i would always tear. But overall the pain has subsided quite a bit from Friday until now. The pain doesn't persist as long as it did after each bowel moment since the surgery, so I can tell I am healing. I feel like I am at a point where I dont need the gauze, unless i have a movement because that is what aggravates the area and causes it to discharge. But i am having hardly any discharge at this point. I am doing better but have a long way to go. I am looking forward to having a sex life again so i know the feeling. So coconut oil eh? How many times a day do you have to apply it? How many times a day???
