Brief Answer:
Take cremaffin for constipation

Detailed Answer:
Tablets are basically for fissure in anal area due to constipation and hard stools and has nothing to do with relief in constipation per se.
Cremaffin is basically for constipation and is very good in that.
Keep taking all the precautions as told
I would like to know if you are taking Calcium as well,
if yes then try to change the brand of calcium which can help a bit.
Stitches dissolve in 4-5 weeks so don't worry about them at all and hopefully constipation will be relieved soon too.
Cremaffin is a simple formulation and the dose can be increased if this minimal dose is not helpful
Also take it regularly for at least 10 days for proper bowel set up to normal routine and don't strain while passing stools
Take care
