Pasty gooey: Hard to clean stool is usually due to a lack of fluids usually about 40 ounces short for the day. Stay away from caffeine and alcohol and increase your fluids. This should help in 3-4 days. You may also have had damage to your sphincter muscles from the surgery. This too needs to be evaluated.

Is there any effective way to treat a bleeding internal hemorrhoid if it can't be banded due to its location and a prior surgery? What would happen if I leave it untreated and let it pass small blood clots everyday. Can it eventually heal on its own?
