I had surgery to remove three hemorrhoids about a week ago and have been resting, but I've noticed some dry mucus leaking with a bad smell. Is this normal after the procedure, and what can I do to stop it?
While some discharge after hemorrhoid surgery is expected, dry, smelly mucus leaking could indicate a potential complication like infection. It's important to consult your surgeon as soon as possible to rule out complications and receive appropriate treatment.

I'm having a lot of pain right at the edge of my anus and lower back, and it's making it really hard to sit or go to the bathroom. I've also noticed some swelling in that area, and it hurts more if I try to stretch the muscle. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and suggest who I should see about this?
Could be an anal fissure or hemorrhoids. For confirmation you will have to consult a specialist. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter ointments like Anusol or Preparation H to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Additionally, taking a stool softener like Colace can help make bowel movements less painful. Make sure to drink plenty of water and eat a high-fiber diet to avoid constipation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
