Hello
Thanks for the query to HCM Forum.
After hemorrhoids ( piles ) surgery , it seems that you are a chronic patient of constipation.
Consume high fiber diet .
Patients with more troublesome constipation may not respond to fiber alone and may be helped by a BOWEL TRAINING REGIME ,taking an osmotic laxative and evacuating with enema or glycerine suppository as needed .
As I mentioned above suppository when NEEDED ,not always .
Excessive straining may lead to development of hemorrhoids ( as may be in your case) .
Advised a distraction-free 15-20 minutes on the toilet without straining is encouraged.
Anal sphincter spasm may be the another cause of constipation .
In my opinion consult a gastroenterologist and get his opinion and training for bowel evacuation.
Good luck.
