Has anyone still experienced trouble using the restroom even the day after a stricture dialation? I had a dialation done yesterday, and I have eaten two meals plus many ounces of fluids. I have only gone very little. I still feel continuous pressure on my rectum, too. I actually feel worse now than before the procedure. Any advice would be appreciated greatly. Thanks.

Oh no...that doesn't sound good. I'd give the doc who did it a call. I think I have to be dialated very soon. How was it? Were you good to go as soon as you woke up?

BTW...where the heck is New Glarus?

Actually, I had a lot of trouble waking up from sedation. The procedure was over at 5 PM. I could not stay awake until 11:30 PM. He used a new med which I cannot remember the name of.
New Glarus is in the southeastern, almost south central, Wisconsin. It is 25 miles south of Madison.

You may just have some pain and swelling from the dilation that could be causing this. Give it a few days and, if it is, it should settle down.

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't even think of swelling. I bet that is what it is. Swelling around my rectum would make a feeling of pressure. I just hope it goes away soon. Thanks again.
