10 Days Post TDH procedure - why am I needing to make a BM every few hours?

i’m 10 days post a TDH procedure. I making what I think is really good progress in terms of pain management. However, I feel the need to make a BM every few hours, it’s constant and driving me crazy. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

hi there i just had this procedure done 3 days ago . The dr explained to me that as the stitches heal you will have an urge to go to the toilet even though you dont need . its important however not to strain or push as the haemmorrhoids will come back . sounds like you are almost there as this should improve in 2 weeks .

Thank you julie96710,

It’s certainly been a relief to find this forum. There is so little information online, and the Dr’s never really prepare you for the recovery process.

Let’s get this done! I want my life back.

Getting better each day.

So its definitely a process…i had banding on 2 at the same time. On June 12, and id say im about 80%. Still feel it, even though they said 2 weeks, each bm has the ability to reinjure the sites. I had a few harder bm(which is crazy, because im drinking 2+ lt of water,fiber supplement,greens and stool softener) and straining,which was last week. This week no bleeding,so im very hopeful im out of the woods with that,and really start healing.
