I know this is a while ago but I had surgery almost two months ago and am having a very similar situation to the burning feeling that lingers for a while after every time I pass a bowel movement. I’m going at least once a day but I never look forward to it cause of the pain and it makes it really uncomfortable to sit or do most anything. I don’t feel like I’m passing very hard stools but I did have a small hemorrhoid early on but doctors and dieticians have not been really able to suggest anything. Did you find anything that helped and how is it now after a few years?
