I had LIS on April 12 (it's now April 29), and I've had very little discomfort since last week. I'm not feeling any pain from the surgery or from the fissure. I finally stopped bleeding about the middle of last week.
However, while I'm holding my bowels and wind just fine, I'm finding light stains in my underwear no matter how thoroughly I clean myself after using the bathroom (including a bidet).
I wouldn't call this incontinence, just skidmarks, but I'm like it to stop, obviously.
The doctor said 6 weeks to heal fully, so that's about a month more. In other people's experience, is this something I can expect to get better as I finish healing over the next month?
To be clear, I'd so the surgery again in a heartbeat. I was already wearing washable incontinence underwear to keep lidocaine and niphedipine off my pants, so this isn't a stretch. I just don't want buying new underwear once a month to become a feature of my life.
