Hi, I'm 10 days post LIS and I just noticed a little string with a knot coming out my anus. When I tug on it it doesn't move and is painful... I didn't talk about recovery with my doctor very well and I'm guessing it is part of my stitches? I don't know if I even had stitches...
Anyone else had this happen? What should I do with the string? Should I call my doctor?

Of course call your doctor : ((( - I know that some are real "pain in the ass" but you need his advice and be persistent- he is there to help you - it is his job !!!!!! He is payed a BIG money for that "service" !!!!!!
If he/she is really unresponsive jerk - than find another doctor ! Never let anybody "push you around" without answers or proper care : (((
I think that it could be a stitch that did not dissolve yet - but he should check it anyway !!!!
Best of luck !

Hi, I had my stitches for quite a while after LIS, they were supposed to dissolve and they did but it took a long time and one just hung there for a while and used to get stuck on my pants. It hurt like heck sometimes but finally fell off. I think soaking your butt a lot helps the process along. Suzy

thanks for the advice guys!
