I am 21 yo female. I had a lateral internal sphincterotomy on 13th of june. Was dealing with chronic anal fissure since many years. Opted for a surgery and got my external piles removed as well. I am on a high fiber diet and lots of fluids and on discharge medications as well. I'm taking duphalac as laxative but still having pain while going for bowel movement. Also I can still see a lil pile at the opening of ano. I'm wondering if the piles were not removed properly or they are scars from the surgery. Should I get it checked again?

The anal fissure will take time to heal even after a sphincetrotomy. You should continue medications as advised and the fissure will take at least 2-3 weeks (reasonable expectation. Sometimes skin tags do form outside the anal opening which is acceptable. However if you have doubts you should visit the operating surgeon once again.
