I just had this procedure done and forgot to ask what happens to the staples. Are they removed, dissolve, permanent? Thanks...

You just "poo them out" when the 'roid falls off.

Thank you...

I had the PPH done last Monday, 8/6/07 in the late afternoon adn was sent home that evening. I haven't been able to go to the bathroom to do a bm. I really want to go, but afraid to push...I'm on collace, percocets, and eating as well as I can...not sure what to do. My shower head is able to reach the toilet so I've been running warm water down my butt as I sit there but nothing happens, but I keep passing gas all day long. Have you been able to go to the bathroom yet? I think I have a UTI now too since I'm pissing (drops) while in bed...I am terrified and have to go back to work on Monday.

I was sore all evening on Monday and Tuesday night. Can you tell me what to expect when I go to the bathroom and do you ahve any tips? I am scared/terrified of going to the bathroom to bm. I was told not to "strain" to go, but that's the only way I know is to push? I suffered from the "roids" for 3 years - they started on the day I started labor with my youngest. I am terrified of having to do my first bm at work...please help me. I am not sure who to talk to, this is so embarassing. All the doctors says take warm tub bath, collace, mineral oil (yuk - I'll vomit that in heart beat). Should I be doing suppositories - I'm afraid of doing that. I'm also afraid of taking another phospo-soda - I had to take 2 of those before surgery and that was painful to drink and deal with...I need help please...please...I'm desperately feeling "backed up" and can't function. please help.
