So, i just had a hemorrhoidectomy 8 days ago. External hemorrhoid removed along with two large skin tags. Surprisingly the pain has been mostly manageable for me. Not as bad as id feared. However, I am having an issue with leakage and wonder what others experience with this has been. I have a little pink/clear fluid. However, possibly TMI, more upsetting to me is that I am also having a small amount of stool on the gauze pad each time I change it. Now Im super terrified of being left with some kind of permanent leakage/incontinence issues. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Did it eventually go away for you?
