I had a laser hemorrhoidectomy last week and I observed a lot of blood in lumpy (clots) form from my anal passage today. Is this normal? My doctor says it's nothing to worry about but i just wanted a second opinion because it seems very unusual to me. I am still on pain and antibiotics medication to avoid infection and manage the pain. I have difficulty sitting as it puts the pressure at a specific point.
