I had this surgery done in my 20s.
If i had any recommendations it would be to not take the pain medicine unless absolutely necessary. Opiates make you constipated and i was an addict at the time when i had this done. So i abused the hell out of my pills then i didnt shit for 5 days post surgery
Man, it was the biggest snd worst shit of my life. It was like giving birth i had to poop in the bath tub and it was like the size of half a football.
But honestly that was like 10+ years ago and while ive had some minor hemmeroids since nothing major like that. I think quitting drinking really helped my bowel movements not be more regular. Like one normal shit a day instead of a bunch of watery painful craps all the time.
