Reply to "To push or not to push?"

Thanks to both of you. To begin everything was quiet after takedown though I was as bloated as a 6 mth pregnant woman. Then I was having 20-30 movements a day, pretty much every time I got up or urinated. The dr said that was too many so prescribed immodium. This slowed the flow but I still get the sensation I need to go but often have to push to achieve a result. I have been using barrier creams and they have worked ok but now I have inflamation and a little bleeding. An anal fissure sounds likely. I don't have a fever so I'm doubtong its cuffitis.

I really didnt get any toileting advice post surgery so Im a bit in the dark. I believe Im supposed to hold on but when I feel the need to go it is quite uncomfortable. I am not quite sure what to do? Should I just wait until I cant wait any longer or am feeling like Ill have an accident?
