“Incomplete bowel ”
I had lateral sphinrectomy at the end of December. After that, I have been having trouble with complete egestion. Doctor says it's constipation, but I feel it's contraction of anal sphincter instead of relaxing during egestion, due to anaesthesia given during surgery.

An anorectal manometry test can help figure out if there is contraction of the anal sphincter when it should be relaxed. If this is happening, it has nothing to do with the anesthesia that was given.
You should see a gastroenterologist as there might have been damage to the internal or external sphincter. I would also suggest that you be checked for impaction (flat plate of the abdomen).
It’s best to discuss this with your surgeon who has the operative details and extent of the sphincterotomy.
