Somebody told me that the white capsule like thing may be mucuous. I have also been treated for pile & fissure recently in August 2013 by stapler method operation. Pl advise.
Brief Answer:
Infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The smooth pale yellow capsule like thing in your stool could be pus or mucous.
You have already done a stool microscopy and it has suggested plenty of pus cells. This is a second evidence of you having infection.
You should undergo a course of anti biotic. In my clinic I generally prescribe my patients with ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 7 days and that results in a good improvement.
It may not be related to your procedure for piles or fissure..
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
