I would be a little worried about this. It depends on what they did, how much scar tissue, what was removed, etc. Please call your doc. Also makes a difference if you have been constipated on your pain meds as that can slow down and firm up your stool, so this may be a problem with hemorrhoids or a rectal tear. Hope this helps...Dr. von Almen
