I just wanna say, you are awesome. One of your older videos I saw recently helped me with my fiber intake, you said in your video if it's coming out hard, and then soft, then you are taking too much fiber. The directions on Benefiber says take 2 teaspoons up to 3 times per day (that's way too much). I was taking 2 teaspoons before dinner, but now I cut that down to 1 teaspoon before dinner, OMG huge / major improvement, very soft now. I used to think the more fiber the better, but nope. Thank you.
I only wish my surgeon had talked to me about any of the things in your videos, especially this 1! I don't know how I'm going to feel safe going back to work.
Il want to do my surgery very soon because l can’t take this kind of discomfort any longer, it’s almost 20 years l’m going through this agony. Thanks for your advice
I obviously hope that I never encounter this. For those who do, I wonder if pre-emptive enemas might be a good idea, so that one's bowels are empty whenever one is out and about. Also, apparently there are plugs that can work in lieu of diapers. This seems like a nightmare.
I have slight leakage from presumably my internal hemmroids rn. I'm probably going to have to go through this surgey soon. I'm hoping it'll help get rid of my incontinence issue. 😢
@TElias5 Hi, I just got the surgery done almost 6 weeks ago. Mine hasn't seemed to help with my leakage issue. but mine was always just a small chance to what is causing my issues. mine were only small Grade II hemmroids. so I always knew there was a good chance they weren't what was causing it. my leakage is probably from weakend pelvic floor muscles. Its all just stepping stones for me towards a path of healing and resolution. I'm just doing what I can to survive, bro. but I'm optimistic. If yours corresponded with hemmroids, then It's probably caused by them. I unfortunately experienced a traumatic event to my bum. so mine is likely caused be weakend/damaged mucles/nerves. I have a follow up on the 10th to see where to go from here. but my hemmroids surgery did help with the pinching pains I was having
@@willbink Are you experiencing any itching or irritation from your leakage. I itch like crazy, but Pranicura helps. My leakage started after getting an anal fissure.
@zdheat Yes, I do have a lot of itching and irritation all day every day. that is 100% because of leakage. I tried stuff like pranicura. but for me personally, it's a little impractical for me to be able to apply more when its needed, especially if I'm at work and I have to wipe poo again and its not just my butt being itchey at the time. I'm looking to start physical therapy because my surgeon thinks my sphincter muscles are working just fine. but I'm thinking it might be a little weak from being stabbed there, and thus the leakage. because he figured the leakage was because of hemmroids. but after surgery and being done with my "healing time" and following the instructuons to the book. it is clear my procedure did not help my leakage, cause mine was not caused by my hemmroids unfortunately.
@@willbinkMay I ask how severe the leakage is ? Is it just some stool particles ? Or is it severe , kindly throw some light , suffering from the same..
Me too. I’m on the same boat… Any advice how to get out of this ? They damaged my anus and sphincters due to anal fistula.. How to live with this now ? I’m so depressed
Question regarding pain following hemorrhoidectomy: are pain killers in suppository form ever given? Would this lessen constipation caused by systemic pain meds?
I would be glad just for some of the fecal to come out on its own so I don't worry about having to push any out. I'm day 3 and have not pooped yet. At least I have had some gas release and I feel my gut wanting to go, but I think my fissure stitches are like " nope we are not yet ready ". In fact I'm wondering if I'm too swollen from the fissure surgery for anything to come out. I do get up and move around alot.
Fecal incontinence after anal surgery is very rare unless and until the surgeon isn't skilled. However temporary incontinence is there after anal surgery since spincters muscles are streched, which goes off gradually as muscles regain their strength. Alternatively one can do kegal excersies to strengthen muscles. I had MIPH( Minimally Invasive Stapled Haemorrhoidpexy) and I faced similar issue. Everything was resolved within 3 months. However I developed dependence on laxative, which took approximately 8 months of conditioning to overcome. Now 3 skin tags are my only issues left. They do get irritated and cause burning sensation and tenesmus but are very bearable. Life is close to normal and I have to poop 3 times in intervals of 1 hour. That's it. I am practicing to reduce it to 2 hours. Reason is my internal spincters ( which is controlled by our mind, closes after some time of pooping because due to immense pain after 3rd day of surgery my brain still feels that the similar pain would occur and hence it shuts tight that spincter). Which is overcomed by me drinking warm water and a tea, it soothes my mind and I am again ready for defecation. Have to do this 3 times per hour and my bowels are empty. I can strain and do everything in 30 minutes, but I don't because it would again cause anal problems in future. Before any surgery patient has to make sure that they are in right hands. The surgeon is experienced and have a good record. Real recovery starts after surgery where one has to take good care of oneself. And also drink lots of water before defecation. It helps a lot in building pressure and smooth defecation. After recovery Keagal excercise helps a lot and is a way to go to strengthen spincter muscles. Also make sure to have weight as per your BMI. Being overweight creates more problems. So its better to have good BMI after surgery. Or to go for surgery after reducing weight nearby BMI.
What? 😢 skin tags aren't gone after surgery?! All the things you described is exactly like how I got severally constipated and got my hemorrhoids in the first place years ago.
@iamsheel If skin tags are sentinel then there is not much difference between them and Haemorrhoids. I had 3 very huge prolapsed haemorrhoids so they did leave skin tags when they shrank. A good surgeon will try to minimise any cuts in anal area to avoid stenosis. More cuts = more chances of stenosis. If they bother me too much in future then I will be having them removed. Also stapled Haemorrhoidiopexy usually strangulates and sticks the hem to its original position so incase hem is bigger then skin-tags remain once they are shrunk. I don't strain, neither sit for too long in the toilet so chances of hems reoccurring are less.
Injust had my Henorrhoid surgery yesterday around 3pm pacific time. I normally go to bathroom around 6-7 am, never fails. Should I try to.push to see if something comes out??
Had mine a week ago, first 4 days had urine retention and had to have a catheter, finally got the ability to pee again, but each time leads to leakage and pain back there, and also going through incontinence forced to wear a diaper now.
This is my second op for piles and this time round i have to have 2 ops to remove the full ring of external piles i have this is going to be horrible but i want my life back
Today is my 1st wek after hemoroidectomy.and im so tired cleaning my butt. i learnd to control my temper bcoz of fecal incontinence,I hope everyone including me can manage until the ful recovery.
Did you eventually sort it out??? My post op advice from the hospital was pretty rudimentary. Turns out I was only using 1/3 the amount of stool softener that I should have been. Once the opioids wore out of my system and I got onto movicol 3 (then later 2) times a day the constipation eased off.
@iandudz.88 Let me say, that surgery recovery was rough! I'm almost back to normal now. I've had to totally overhaul my diet although my diet was fine to begin with. I believe I was getting too much fiber. Soaking in the tub multiple times a day helped. I suspect in my case, I've had destruction of nerves which may never resume to normal.
Yeah. I’m 14 days post op. The worst of it seems to be past, but I’m still not loving life. Hopefully I’ll be able to trust farts again one day🤣 I reckon I started eating too much fibre a bit too soon as well. I reckon that’s something the medical advice could improve…
I dont have accidents, I just keep going to toilet 5 to 7 times a day after surgery, how can I stop going so many times please, I'm on day 6 after surgery
What if you can’t poop at all after the surgery? It’s been 3 days post surgery and I haven’t had any bowel movement even though I was given laxatives and I take them daily.
Same thing happened with me too.. After surgery I spent 2 and a half days in hospital but I couldn't poop took laxatives as well... When I got discharged I had swelling in the region.... On the first day after returning home I got urge to poop and it hurt a lot I mean the pain was unbearable to the point I almost was on the verge of fainting... Same thing happened today as well Although I am okay for the rest of the day but that period is always the toughest
I’ve healed very well! My bowl movement is consistent now but it took me almost 2 months to be able to stool properly. I actually had to go back to get my stitches checked after 2 weeks of getting the surgery done because of excessive bleeding in the area and I was given blood thinners I think.
@@bongadaluxolo494 well that's great I had primary piles that is at ( 3,5,7 o'clock) and secondary at 11 o'clock I went through laser haemorrhoidoplasty so there were zero cuts it was just the swelling that the laser gave the muscles which is taking time to heal and the source of the pain as well.... I am healing 10 % a day i guess but there is minimal bleeding due to less space available for the stools to pass I guess the main challenge now would be to ensure that secondary piles don't reoccur... Coz i really don't wanna go through that pain tbh
One year after hemroidectomy, still my days are ruined. I'm okay everyday until my first poop. Every day I usually poop twice. My rectum bleeds fresh blood and the more I wipe the more it burns. If I don't wipe good then it's incontinence and still burns. it burns for hours. Sometimes it takes taking a stilts bath but then two hours later it happens again. My days are ruined, I can't get away from the house almost everyday. I can't go fishing or go play golf. It can ruin my day almost everyday. A year and a half ago I had hemorrhoids banded. A year ago I had hemroidectomy, for 6 days post opp I had anal sphincter spasms and bled every hour. After 6 days of that I was exhausted, so I called and the on call physician said go to the ER. Spent all day at the ER, then exploratory surgery the next morning. Two months post opp I thought I was better or would get better, but I didn't. Now my condition is just as bad or worse a year and a half later after all the treatments.
Thank you for sharing your situation. Sorry to hear you're having so much problems. I have an anal fistula and the more I research surgery, the more I'm leaning towards just living with the fistula rather than taking a chance of permanent damage to my anal muscles.
@@jefftaylor844nah brother the fistula can spread and it will worsen your situation , so Ill suggest you to go for surgery as fecal incontinence is really rare ..and it is only 1-5% in fistula
@exploringnaturalbeauty2102 in all the research I've read and watched, there's never been one instance of a fistula spreading on its own. However there's definitely documentation of a fistula coming back or getting worse AFTER SURGERY.
I have a question, is it normal to poop in the sitz bath? I don’t feel it happen but it happens almost every time. Now I’m encouraging it because it is a pain free way to go without pushing. Have you ever heard of this? (I’m day 2 recovery, my entire anus was reconstructed.)
Thank you for all of your videos about hemorrhoidectomy. I have a question: it is difficult to pee after hemorrhoidectomy recovery, is this normal or not? Please help. Thank you doctor.
I had an external hemorrhoid excised after about 3 days when it appeared. They excised it, there was not much bleeding and byt the late evening all of it stopped. It really didn't hurt. I don't understand why there is a 3 day limit?
I’m on my 3rd day of recovery from my haemorrhoidectomy surgery but the gauze placed in my rectum won’t come off, I’ve had several sitz baths and it’s not working 😭 please help me
Destiny Fuentes Do you have Facebook I need to see what grade mine is and I don't know when I need to go and when I try to go without straining or trying to push it don't wanna come out or takes forever and when I think I'm done and get off the toilet and try to do whatever I poop on myself and don't know I needed to go again and my stomach jerks and spasms
I had my Hemorrhoidectomy April 12th 2024 and I still have leakage. It’s not ever chunks of poo just like little liquid poo that gets on the gauze. How much longer do you think I’ll have to deal with this? It’s super inconvenient and annoying.
Have got stapled hemoroidectmy done in July last year but haven’t been able to recover completely. Still have pain and lots of itching. Apparently extra resection is done. Any suggestions Dr. Can I do an online session with you?
A little 💩 comes out all day I’m in my day 7 post hemorroidectomy and when I walk I feel like I need to poop 😔 is normal for day 7 or do I need to go to the doctor ?

Eat 200 gm papaya with all meals you take while a day.. its makes your food digest easier and stool comes softly and i hv faced hemorrhoids surgery 3 weeks ago but i take dail this fiber diet and now i m relax . My doctor said that maximum 6 months daily take papaya as you can eat with your meal.. its better than the stool softener tablets and syrup...
I can't do this. Roughly how long does it usually take for normal functioning to return, after? I'm sure there's a million different factors, but ON AVERAGE?

Hi Doc, today is my 5th day post operation and I have been having at least 3 or 4 BM per day, I am constantly in pain in my anus as it’s not getting a chance to rest Is this ok ? And should I stop the laxatives

@NarendraYadav-xm9qb 1 day ago Same problem with me After one month I m in stress Please help me How is your condition of incontinence R u ok??? Please reply How much time it takes to be normal
Makes sense, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yep, I used what I mentioned the other day. It did take a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and followed her simple advice.
Please I need assistance and advice, I had hemorrhoid surgery 4months ago, some days I feel good down there and other days it’s one thing or the other, the most common I feel right now is that I get liquid poop leaking out my anus, really frustrating and it’s depriving me of leaving the house because some days just might be heavier than others, please is this normal and will it ever stop? I also feel like my anal hole has become too small to pass out poop properly. Please someone talk to me.
I’m almost 4 months post op and while I haven’t really had incontinence issues (aside from occasional small amounts of gas in the first several weeks, mostly when walking), I’m dealing with a very tight bottom end. It appears to be anal spasms which Dr. Chung has videos on. Not sure if that’s what’s happening to you but my wound hasn’t fully healed yet due to those spasms restricting blood flow to the wound and delaying healing. Although things are better than they were months ago and I still see tiny signs of further improvement to this day. Very much a roller coaster though. Some bowel movement days are better than others. I’ve heard of pelvic floor physical therapy. Seems to have the goal of re-strengthening the muscles down there to their former state. Don’t know much about it but that might be your best bet.
@@NarendraYadav-xm9qb I am 100% fine now. Trust me you will too, it is only just a matter of time. Just know that it will stop. And the Anal hole opens up with time as well.
@@NarendraYadav-xm9qb Hello I am very fine now, how long ago did you have surgery? One thing I can tell you is that with time you will be okay,I can assure you of that. Give yourself time to heal.

I just had this surgery on Monday I still haven't passed any stool how long can it take it just hurts alot any advice on how I can go to the bathroom
How are you
5 or 6 Times I'm going to the toilet after surgery
Do you know of any online support groups
Check out Facebook and online forums. lots of support in those places
Can one live with hemmorhoids or it eventually leads to surgery? Surgery is scary
I had an external hemorrhoid excised after about 3 days when it appeared. They excised it, there was not much bleeding and byt the late evening all of it stopped. It really didn't hurt. I don't understand why there is a 3 day limit?
I’m on my 3rd day of recovery from my haemorrhoidectomy surgery but the gauze placed in my rectum won’t come off, I’ve had several sitz baths and it’s not working 😭 please help me
I’m having my second hemorrhoidectomy surgery but have feical incontence and anal stenosis and have more hemorrhoids that are grade three and four
How long is the span between the first surgery? Multiple Hemmorroidectomy increase an anal stricture
Destiny Fuentes Do you have Facebook I need to see what grade mine is and I don't know when I need to go and when I try to go without straining or trying to push it don't wanna come out or takes forever and when I think I'm done and get off the toilet and try to do whatever I poop on myself and don't know I needed to go again and my stomach jerks and spasms

@Your Friendly Proctologist
Thanks.
I had my Hemorrhoidectomy April 12th 2024 and I still have leakage. It’s not ever chunks of poo just like little liquid poo that gets on the gauze. How much longer do you think I’ll have to deal with this? It’s super inconvenient and annoying.
How is your health
I got same issue
It’s 1 months now
No pain
But liquid comes during gas pass or fart
Please reply
Have got stapled hemoroidectmy done in July last year but haven’t been able to recover completely. Still have pain and lots of itching. Apparently extra resection is done. Any suggestions Dr. Can I do an online session with you?
How are you feeling?
A little 💩 comes out all day I’m in my day 7 post hemorroidectomy and when I walk I feel like I need to poop 😔 is normal for day 7 or do I need to go to the doctor ?
How are you feeling now?
R u ok now
I got same issue
I had piles surgery 15 days back everything was normal for 10 days now feel like pooping but nothing is coming 😢i am totally depressed please help me doctor
Eat 200 gm papaya with all meals you take while a day.. its makes your food digest easier and stool comes softly and i hv faced hemorrhoids surgery 3 weeks ago but i take dail this fiber diet and now i m relax . My doctor said that maximum 6 months daily take papaya as you can eat with your meal.. its better than the stool softener tablets and syrup...
I can't do this. Roughly how long does it usually take for normal functioning to return, after? I'm sure there's a million different factors, but ON AVERAGE?
Hey mate. 3 months later! Did your incontinence issues resolve themselves?
Did your issue go away?

Hi Doc, today is my 5th day post operation and I have been having at least 3 or 4 BM per day, I am constantly in pain in my anus as it’s not getting a chance to rest
Is this ok ? And should I stop the laxatives
Will fecal incontinence go away after hemorrhoidectomy later on???

Makes sense, watching them melt away within 48 hours felt so good, and yep, I used what I mentioned the other day. It did take a bit more to make them totally disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and followed her simple advice.
It is my 65 days post hemorrhoidectomy Nd anal fissurr repair i still have fecal incontinence and anal stenosis 😔
I’m in day 7 post hemorridectomy and a little 💩 come out every day 😔
@@matthewyancy3472how are you ? Are you healed now ? is the poop very little or what ? Kindly throw some light
Hey mate, 5 months since this comment! Have your incontinence and stenosis issues got amy better?
how r u now abdulrahman??
@@bartsimpson-k4i hi buddy
I am good
Still suffering gas incontinence 😭😭
Please I need assistance and advice, I had hemorrhoid surgery 4months ago, some days I feel good down there and other days it’s one thing or the other, the most common I feel right now is that I get liquid poop leaking out my anus, really frustrating and it’s depriving me of leaving the house because some days just might be heavier than others, please is this normal and will it ever stop? I also feel like my anal hole has become too small to pass out poop properly. Please someone talk to me.
I’m almost 4 months post op and while I haven’t really had incontinence issues (aside from occasional small amounts of gas in the first several weeks, mostly when walking), I’m dealing with a very tight bottom end. It appears to be anal spasms which Dr. Chung has videos on. Not sure if that’s what’s happening to you but my wound hasn’t fully healed yet due to those spasms restricting blood flow to the wound and delaying healing. Although things are better than they were months ago and I still see tiny signs of further improvement to this day. Very much a roller coaster though. Some bowel movement days are better than others. I’ve heard of pelvic floor physical therapy. Seems to have the goal of re-strengthening the muscles down there to their former state. Don’t know much about it but that might be your best bet.

@@NarendraYadav-xm9qb I am 100% fine now. Trust me you will too, it is only just a matter of time. Just know that it will stop. And the Anal hole opens up with time as well.
@@NarendraYadav-xm9qb Hello I am very fine now, how long ago did you have surgery? One thing I can tell you is that with time you will be okay,I can assure you of that. Give yourself time to heal.
