possible to have stools too firm?

dgtracyMember

I'm about two weeks from my mucosectomy surgery. I kinda feel like my stools are sometimes too firm...they seem to have good form and bulk but..Idk not all the time but sometimes their is a good push that it needs..particularly If I go awhile without going and I try to hold it then finally when I go I have to push a bit...Idk if I made sense here

Congratulations on your surgery! I'm envious as I have chronic cuffitis.

I've had stools get too firm when using too many Loperamide and it isn't good as I've pushed before I are realized it. I don't think pushing a little bit would do harm but I've never had the delicate surgery you've had. If I were you I'd keep my stools looser so there wouldn't be any accidental pushing. Maybe you should call your doctor if you are feeling uneasy about it.

I'm the same as you, and trying to find a solution to straining, as it probably causes some blooding (not sure if it's caused by it but in general I feel good), and as I bleed I'm a bit anemic.

I don't have any blood but I just don't feel like I'm emptying alot. Just had a mucosectomy 2 weeks ago and I don't think there's a stricture because I can empty fine sometimes. I figure a stricture would be consistent
