Had R side inguinal hernia repair 6 days ago. Couldn't pass any stools for 4 days and spent 2 whole days in agony wanting to poo but unable to do so, only mushy stuff over which I had no control scooped up on toilet paper. Finally 2 nights ago success; 3 black hard sausage shapes fell into toilet, followed by lots of crennelated folds of brown with black. Then diarrhoea-like soft stuff. Nothing but soft stools & diarrhoea all day with an accident first thing. Today I woke at 8, another accident before I got to toilet, but when I came off bowl surprised that diarrhoea was full of red blood, only slimy stuff on pants.
