Frequent defecation with abdominal pain after mixed hemorrhoidectomy?

Question
Hello doctor,
I just had a mixed hemorrhoidectomy 1 week ago. 2 days ago, I went to the toilet twice. Today, I went 3 times, when I went very quickly and couldn't hold back. Sometimes, I feel a little sick to my stomach and sad to have a bowel movement. So the doctor asked me to have a lot of bowel movements with abdominal pain after mixed hemorrhoidectomy? Will I have complications after surgery? Thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have multiple bowel movements with abdominal pain after mixed hemorrhoidectomy? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The doctor does not know which method you have operated on? Currently, mixed hemorrhoids are often combined with Longo surgery, external hemorrhoids/anal excess skin. In the first 1-2 weeks after surgery, the anorectal area still has a lot of inflammation and swelling, the anal sphincter movement has not really returned to normal, so the defecation reflex may change. However, if the symptoms do not get better and there are more serious signs such as a lot of anal pain, bowel incontinence, bleeding, etc., you should actively re-examine with your surgeon for evaluation and treatment. specific advice.
If you still have questions about frequent defecation with abdominal pain after mixed hemorrhoidectomy, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
