I had the surgery about 5 years ago, it did take a good couple of months for me to totally heal. Could you ring your surgeons secretary if you are worried? Drink plenty of fluid and keep bowels as soft as u can. I think it’s just too early. Xx ---

Had the surgery twice. 2nd one back in 2019. Pain peaked on 3 days, after a week pain lessened and 2 weeks later everything calmed down. Be patient, keep the area clean as possible, multiple showers help and use a handheld shower bidet / water to clean yourself. To dry, dab with tissue until clean, don’t wipe. ---
