So I had step two surgery 2 weeks ago today and I don't pass blood through my rectum anymore but do pass some mucous from time to time, which I imagine is normal. However, I get these recital spasms and pain pretty regularly. Did anyone else experience this? Thanks

Are they only when you pass mucous or at different times during the day?

I would have discomfort (I wouldn't call it pain) when I passed mucous but no spasms.

I'd call the surgeon's office, tell them your symptoms and see if they can write you a script for an anti-spasm medication....I'm not even sure if that would help. I used to take one for my colon/sphincter before I had surgery when my UC Flares were brutal.

No, I don't recall having any spasms. I just remember having a slight urge to use the bathroom then I would sit and pass some mucus. Never had any pain doing so.

Thanks for the responses.

I don't have any pain when I pass the mucous. To be honest I don't even know if I'd call this pain or even spasming, it's more of a discomfort/soreness I guess.

After step 1 I'd have spamming which felt like I had to bear down and push and THAT was painful because I was scared my butthole would go inside out LOL! (I know it's called a prolapse but as I was typing that I couldn't help but laugh at it). Anyways, this is more of a soreness I guess. I don't feel urgency, I don't feel like I need to bear down or anything. Also, when I tighten the muscles it relieves it while it's tightened...it's the oddest thing to describe.

I have my follow up with my surgeon on Monday which is when she'll remove the bridge and I'll discuss it with her. However, after surgery they did have a wad oh gauze in my rectum which they later pulled out (FYI dried blood, butt hair and post-op discomfort don't mix) so idk maybe it's still soreness from all of that. I'll keep you all posted to what I'm told on Monday. In the mean time I'd love to hear anymore suggestions or if anyone can relate. Thanks.

So what do you think the chances are of this? BUTT BURN? So that discomfort I've been describing, think I could have a bit of irritation on my anus? The reason I ask is this, during my wife's first pregnancy she had hemorrhoid sand used witch hazel pads quite often. Well up until about two days I was using them as well, well since I stopped the discomfort has increased significantly and just for craps and giggles I just woke up and tried them and the cooling effect felt great. So maybe any bit of slight leaking I might be having or just the regular passing of mucous/wiping is causing some irritation?

I have some butt burn cream I might use and see if if helps.
