IBS M and anal fissure surgery
I have irritable bowel syndrome since childhood. Now, I am 32 years old. 6 years ago Lateral anal Sphinctertomy surgery was done for recurrent anal fissure. Colorectal surgeon told that it will recur if stool becomes hard again but it is very difficult to a IBS patient as stool sometimes semisolid unformed and sometimes little bit hard. Now I am completely exhausted for suffering ibs for long time as it restricted my life in a room. I can't go anywhere. So, I want to meet a psychiatrist doctor but problem is most of the psychiatrist medicine cause hard stool as side effect,this is giving me fear as hard stool means anal fissure and fissure means oh my god severe burning pain during passing stool and after stool. So, what should I do now. I can't take decision what should I do???

It’s very common for mental distress to manifest as physical symptoms—what we call the mind-body connection. Your nervous system is likely in a state of 'high alert,' which affects everything from your sleep to your digestion.
As a psychiatrist, I look at the whole picture—your physical health, your environment, and your neurochemistry. Understanding these links is the first step toward relief. I invite you to a consultation where we can break down these symptoms scientifically and build a management plan that works for your specific lifestyle."

IBS often worsens with stress, so psychiatric help can actually improve bowel symptoms. Not all psychiatric medicines cause constipation—SSRIs (e.g., escitalopram/sertraline) are usually safer for IBS and may even help gut symptoms.
You can also prevent hard stool with fibre, good hydration, and stool softeners (like lactulose/PEG if needed) while on treatment.
Consult a psychiatrist and gastroenterologist together—treatment is possible and many IBS patients improve.
