Brief Answer:
Get a baseline Hemoglobin done

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

Occasional bleeding after hemorrhoid surgery is not to be worried about

Most times few drops change the color of water in the toilet and patients feel it is lot of bleeding

I would suggest get a baseline hemoglobin done and get it repeated after 6 weeks, if there is fall in HB you need treatment

Also take care of your bowel movements
See that you are not constipated nor infected

A good probiotic for two weeks may do some good

Hope this helps

Brief Answer:
Get examined by a surgeon

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for the information

If seems you have developed a fissure and/or hemorrhoids.
It would be better if you get examined by a surgeon in your vicinity to rule out anal fissure.

In the mean time start sitz bath, a probiotic twice a day will help you.
Avoid constipation by using laxatives.
