My laparoscopic surgeon recommended anal dilation sphincter surgery for my chronic hard stool and constipation issues. Can you explain how this procedure works and why it's needed? Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.

Anal dilation and sphincter surgery, also known as Lords' Dilatation or lateral internal sphincterotomy, are procedures aimed at widening the anal sphincter and easing the passage of stool. While they can provide relief, they are often considered as a last resort after other treatments have failed, as they can sometimes affect bowel control

View allI had laser surgery for piles and fissure on 29th September but still haven't passed any stool only gas and some bloody discharge. Is this normal or should I be worried? What can I do to ease this?
After laser surgery for piles and fissures, it's not uncommon to experience delayed bowel movements or mild discomfort. If you're concerned, consult your surgeon for advice. You can try fiber supplements, warm baths, and stool softeners to help ease discomfort.
