A member asked:
Had surgery on my anal abscess 2 weeks ago but now im consipated i can't hold the liquids from my anus and when i wipe myself i sometimes see blood?

Avoid constipation: It is very important to avoid constipation by taking a mild laxitive. Try to do sitz baths 2-3 times daily, one after your bowel movement is very important. Seeing blood when you wipe yourself should not scare you, this will stop in a week or two.
