Recently came out of hospital.. vicious cycle?!


Question: Recently came out of hospital!.!. vicious cycle!?
i came out of hospital on tuesday and i was in there for 7 days as i had Peritonitis!. During my stay i had suppository pain killers (through the anal passage) and i was constipated!.!.
now i am out i have a small cut near my anal passage and i am guessing it was caused by the suppository, and i am no longer constipated!. i am now going to the toilet every day and each time makes the small cut bleed!.
im afraid that this is like a vicious cycle and the cut will never heal if i keep going to the toilet, but its painful to hold it in also so i dont know what to do!.

is there anything i can do to stop me going to the toilet so often or to make the cut heal!?!?

any ideas would be great because this is really getting on my nerves!!

thank you so much in advance!! Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Stopping yourself from going to the bathroom would cause you much more trouble; you could end up with a bowel obstruction that could lead to surgery or even worse!.

The cut should heal on its own even though it may take longer if you go to the bathroom normally!. Use stool softeners (like Docusate) so you'll cause less trauma to the wound!.

If after a few days you don't see any signs of healing, go back to your doctor!. Just whatever you do, don't try to constipate yourself!.
