Is it normal to still experience severe pain and some pus after having surgery for an anal tear (lateral internal sphincterotomy) despite taking Hifenac P, Ultracet, using Lox Jelly, and taking warm sitz baths, and how long does the recovery process typically take before I feel better?

Asked by Female, 36 · 21 days ago

Recovery from a lateral internal sphincterotomy typically takes about 2 to 6 weeks, and some mild discomfort and fluid drainage are common. However, experiencing severe, unmanageable pain and pus?even while taking Hifenac P, Ultracet, and using Lox Jelly (lidocaine)?is not expected and could indicate a localized infection or delayed healing. I highly recommend reaching out to your surgeon for a quick evaluation to ensure everything is healing safely. In the meantime, please continue your soothing warm sitz baths and drink plenty of fluids to keep your stools soft.
