TMI - 5 weeks postpartum - still can't fully poop!

I'm starting to get concerned now! 5 weeks after having my first child. Vaginal birth, 2nd degree tear on perineum (which isn't healing too well but that's another story!) And when I poop, i cannot completely empty like before. There is always something still there! (Sorry too much info!!) I know I'm not supposed to strain so I don't, and just ignore it. Then, next time I go the same thing happens. Most comes out but then it feels like something is still in there.
I'm terrified I have a prolapse or something?? I can't see anything strange from outside. Has anyone else experienced this?? Will it get better?

What does your poo look like? Google the Bristol stool chart? Are you a bit constipated?

Could you have piles?

Hi have you had a 6 week postnatal check? This sounds similar t9 my experience including tear. I had constipation that led to anal fissure. Please get checked out
