I just had hemorrhoid surgery and I’ve been craving a bowel movement.

The desire to have a bowel movement just after hemorrhoid surgery is mostly normal and is related to the irritation of the surgical wound. It takes 24 hours after the surgery before you can defecate. If the hemorrhoids to take the external peeling ligation, the ligation will be left in the knot, easy to frequent stimulation of the perianal skin, thus producing the desire to defecate, is a normal phenomenon, part of the can also be accompanied by a foreign body sensation. At the same time, hemorrhoid surgery will also remove part of the skin and leave a wound, before the wound is not healed, it is easy to be stimulated and always have the urge to stool. Such phenomenon will be reduced as the ligature threads come off and the wound heals. However, it should be noted that since the bowel will be cleansed before hemorrhoid surgery, there is no need to defecate even if you have the urge to defecate in the first day after the surgery, so as not to exert oneself to avoid bleeding of the wound, infections and other complications. If you have any discomfort after the operation, you can communicate with the doctor in charge and follow the doctor’s instructions.
