Hi everyone,
I’m looking for advice. I’ve been dealing with internal hemorrhoids (grade II) and have had external thrombosed hemorrhoids a couple of times a year. My bowel movements are regular, but stool shape/consistency varies. When I pass a larger or tougher stool, I often need to clean myself again later.
I’m unsure if this is IBS-related or due to the internal hemorrhoids (e.g., tissue relaxing and releasing small residual stool/mucus). Has anyone experienced something similar or found strategies that help?
Thanks,
Greg
