What Could Be Sore Anus With Small, Hard Bump After Taking Stool Softners To Relieve Constipation?

Hi, about a week ago I had a tonsillectomy and have been sporadically taking stool softeners to help me with post-op constipation. I have not had any luck with a bowel movement over the last few days, and today as I was going to the bathroom, I noticed that the area near my anus was a little sore and found there to be a small, hard lump. Any ideas of what this could be? Thanks.

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
You had tonselectomy, and you don't need a regular BW, for that. Any how you had laxative, still you had cnstipation, and hard stool, and sour anus.
It appears to be the fissure, or an abscess, due to which there is constipation.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.Thank you.
