Hello,
The issue seems the healing process at the operative site, though partial narrowing of the anal opening has to be ruled out with per rectal examination by the surgeon. At present diet with high fiber, plenty of liquids and bulk-forming laxatives with sitz bath will support great.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
