Hmmmm...it is very unusual to have "several" fissures : ((
But, that to the side, it is normal for a sphincter to regain some of its strength back -unfortunately
. It is very fine balance between of how much was cut and how much actually needed to be cut for the best result and still not causing any incontinence.
CRSs are always on conservative side when they cut - which is good. Sometimes though, they cut too little and than sphincter can COMPLETELY go back to original strength and that happened to me. I had to have second LIS to finally have normal pressure in my anus
.
I think that you should have medium soft poop - playable but NOT mushy or paste like. Anus has to work and also if it becomes accustomed to very soft poop it can actually get used to that and that is a no-no
I do not know how your poop is without softeners :roll: - if it is hard, than you definitely need to do something about that !!! It should not be TOO soft, but hard is going to do mayor damage :( . You are only 3 weeks out of the surgery and you should take care of your butt now like no other and give it a chance to heal forever !
I hope you are taking warm soaks at least 3 times a day ????
