Hi guys,
I had LIS surgery about a month ago on 6/18/13. I had my fissure for two and a half years and the doctor said my sphincter was very tight which is obviously why the fissure didn't heal. I also had three skin tags removed. Everything has been going really well, but today when I made a BM there was a small amount of blood (like a blot) on a few pieces of tp when I wiped. It wasn't a large amount of blood, more like when you blot something that is barely bleeding. Since my surgery, it has felt kind of like a ripping sensation when I go (the doctor said this feeling would be normal because of the skin tag removal). I also think it's because I'm finally having formed BM for the first time in over two years and my butt isn't used to it. The blood from the BM I had today was on the opposite side of my fissure. I have not had any problem from the fissure since I came out of surgery. This was on the side of my incision site. I'm not sure if the bleeding came from my incision site or a new fissure. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm not in pain, it just feels kind of dry down there (I've also read that the new skin that heals from the skin tag removals lacks oil glands for a while which can cause the dry feeling. Anyhow, I'm feeling no pain, just kind of scared. I don't want to go through the nightmare again. My pain was a 20 on a scale of 1-10 before surgery so I'm grateful I'm not in pain. Also, I am under a ton of stress because not even two weeks ago (17 days after surgery) I tore my ACL, MCL and meniscus so I'm looking at scheduling surgery for that. Any advise about the bleeding and what you think it could be is much appreciated.
