Colorectal surgeon: You may want to go back to the gastroenterologist, or check with a colorectal surgeon to be reassessed and have a determination made as to whether you may be a surgical candidate. Good luck,

Taking Stool Softeners and increasing your water intake every day may also help with this problem. If you are constipated or have hard stools, it is difficult to have this problem heal properly.
