Hemorrhoid Surgery experience?

I’m scheduled to get a laser hemorrhoid surgery in about a month. I’m pretty scared after reading some horror stories about the pain. Has anyone been through this before, and what can I expect?

Good grief don’t believe in what you hear and read.Laser is a good way to go, you will do fine. Good Luck.

Why must you drink plenty of water while taking colace?

I’m taking colace 100mg a day and I was given direction from the doctor to take two Vegetable Laxatives in the morning and two at night. I’m not constipated but I have rectal bleeding due to tons of internal hemorrhoids so my stool needs to be soft to help prevent any extra damage. But why is it so important there is a sticker on the RX bottle that says drink plenty of water while taking this medication?

Because, over time, the taker can become dehydrated. Many medicines can cause a water depletion effect due to how they work in conjunction with treating a problem.

Bleeding hemorrhoid most common treatment?

My husband has a hemmorhoid (External,i believe) and it has gotten a small slit in the middle that is bleeding. I am taking him to the doctor tomorrow, but was wondering can anyone give me a good idea of what to expect there.Especially what kind of treatment we might be looking at. Also would surgery even have to be on the table right now, we really don’t want to do anything that extreme yet. Any Answers are appreciated.

Prevent further damage on his external anal sphincter by:
*avoiding constipation (eat fiber rich foods such as oat meal, drink extra fluid such as water and prune juice)
*avoid foods that may cause constipation
*avoid straining during defecation and avoiding too much friction during washing of the area
*sit on a doughnut-shaped cushion to avoid direct pressure on the anus

Provide temporary relieve by:
*sitting on a warm water (steam)
*or apply ice
*too much pain- can take mild analgesics but non opioids because it causes constipation

if it is too painful and damaged, the doctor may suggest an operation, hemorrhoidectomy. it is a short procedure done in an OPD or in a minor surgery suit. the patient may go home afterwards. god bless.

can a difficulty in a bowel movement just ONCE can cause hemorrhoid already?

Ok. I am 17. This may sound gross but that’s life. I havent go to the bathroom to do IT for like 4 days because i didnt have the natural urge. So this morning i tried and it just wont come out. I tried to strain a little but it just really wont come out because i can feel it was so hard.

Hemorrhoids can come at just about any time. You sound quite young though, and I doubt it would happen if it is just once you were constipated. Hemorrhoids bleed, if there is no bleeding you are probably fine.

Natural Hemorrhoid Treatment That Works In 48 Hrs!

What causes Hemorrhoids and how do they treat them?

I’ve notice drops of blood in the toilet, should I be concerned?

Hemorrhoids are dilated (enlarged) veins which occur in and around the anus and rectum. They may be external (outside the anus) or internal and slip to the outside. In both of these instances, the hemorrhoids can be felt and seen as lumps or knots. Hemorrhoids also may remain inside the rectum and so cannot be felt or seen. These are called internal hemorrhoids.

A common cause of hemorrhoids is simply the standing position, in which all the blood above the rectum exerts pressure on the rectal and anal areas. Other conditions which contribute to hemorrhoids are: poor bowel habits, constipation, diarrhea, pregnancy, obesity, and especially frequent straining when having a bowel movement.

Hemorrhoids can ooze fresh red blood, whether located externally or internally. External hemorrhoids often cause dripping of blood from the anus while sitting on the toilet. The blood might also be seen as soiling of the underwear. Internal hemorrhoids that bleed may produce fresh blood in the stool.

To treat:
Keep the anal area clean, using a mild soap and gentle dabbing after a bowel movement Avoid vigorous rubbing of the area.

Keep the anus and hemorrhoids as dry as possible, using talcum powder and a pad of soft tissue to absorb moisture.

Eat a diet high in fiber (bran) and roughage. Fiber and bran retain water in the stool, producing soft, bulky stools which are easier to pass and reduce the tendency to develop hemorrhoids. Bulking agents, such as Metamucil, Effersyllium, Konsyl, Citrucel, and Per Diem Fiber, are available in drug stores. These also come in less expensive generic versions.

Avoid straining when having a bowel movement.

When thrombosis, pain, and tenderness occur, a 10 to 20 minute hot tub bath two to four times daily brings heat to the area, provides relief from the pain, and promotes healing. This is called a hot Sitz bath.

To prevent:
Eat plenty of fiber, bran, or roughage, or use a bulking
agent to maintain regular, soft bowel movements.
Do not delay or try to prevent a bowel movement when
the urge is present.
Exercise, especially aerobic, may help produce more
regular bowel movements.
Drink plenty of liquids and eat regularly scheduled meals.
Keep the area around the anus clean and dry.

ANAL SEX. Does it cause Hemorrhoids?

A bleeding hemorrhoid while pregnant?

So a week ago I posted i was having issues with hemorrhoids durning my 2nd pregnancy. Well it seems like they’ve died down because I can tell they are still there but they aren’t bugging me now. The only problem i’m having now is everytime I have a bowel movement (i know too much for the morning huh?), i’m getting some lite bleeding. It’s just like when you wipe too hard and you can get some blood and it’s leaving my butt with a raw feeling. So what gives, is it likely an internal hemorrhoids that might be bleeding because I can’t pin point where the bleeding is coming from. My husband just said I popped open a hemorrhoid. Is there something I can do to try and stop the bleeding, like try tucks pads or something? I got see my doctor tuesday for my normal 4 week check up but its embarrassing to ask about hemorrhoids so I figured I would try here first for some advise.
Thanks

Oh, dear, I’ve had hemorrhoids since I was 21 from my Irritable Bowel Syndrome. At first I also found it embarrassing until I found out just how common they are. I don’t even worry about them any more and they rarely flare up on me.

No, you can’t stop the bleeding. They’re just aggitated and it’s not as much blood as it seems to be. You can use your fingers to tuck them up inside every time you take a bath or potty, and that’s supposed to cut off the circulation and help them go away. Ask your doctor about using witch hazel while pregnant. I think witch hazel (Tucks pads) is safe, but I’m not sure. If your doc says no, then get some baby wipes for your purse and gently dab/wipe with those instead of rough toilet paper.

A warm bath helps hemorrhoids, but you have to be careful, because you’re not supposed to take hot baths while pregnant. You could try holding a hot damp wash cloth against your hemorrhoids for some relief instead.

The bleeding is perfectly normal. It’s perfectly normal to have that raw butt feeling. Hemorrhoids are very common during pregnancy. You can try the tucks and try to be gentle and make sure you’re getting enough fiber so you don’t get constipated as much, but beyond that, you just have to get used to it.

Don’t be embarrassed in front of your doctor. She/He has seen much worse.

Is there another Options than Hemorrhoids Surgery? for hemorrhoids treatment?

i am scared of surgery, but i am really in pain… What should i do?

I am Dr. Nelson. Needing surgery for anything can be scary, especially if you aren’t informed about all of your options, what to expect, and exactly what will be done. Hemorrhoid surgery is no exception.

Hemorrhoids are usually not serious enough to require surgery if taken care of right away. But if they are not taken care of, if hemorrhoid treatments don’t work, if they are a recurring problem, or if they are extremely painful, bleeding, thrombosed, prolapsed, or strangulated, then they may require hemorrhoid surgery.

Traditional hemorrhoid surgery (also called Hemorrhoidectomy) consists of removing the affected hemorrhoid veins and any surrounding tissue that may also have become inflamed and sore due to having hemorrhoids. The veins affected by serious hemorrhoid problems can be stretched, out of shape, and possibly bleeding. Removing them is sometimes the best option if there has been recurring problems, a lot of bleeding, or a strangulated hemorrhoid.

What to Expect

Hemorrhoid surgery may require staying in the hospital for at least one night. There are occasions when it can be done on an outpatient basis, however, and you can be allowed to go home later in the same day.

When you are being prepared for hemorrhoid surgery, you might have to follow a particular diet, one that will make your stools soft and possibly even require a stool softener or laxative to help rid your colon and lower intestines of fecal matter. This will make contamination during surgery less of a risk. You may also be given an enema to make sure that there is nothing remaining in there during the surgery.

Using an instrument called an anoscope to see the hemorrhoid and the surrounding area, the surgeon will tie off the vein that supplies blood to the hemorrhoid and remove the hemorrhoid as well as some of the tissue around it.

After having the surgery, you can expect some pain and discomfort and also to be monitored closely to make sure you are healing well. You may be given painkillers as well as a laxative to help you with your bowel movements while the area heals. You will be monitored for bleeding, pain, and drainage of fluid, asked if there is any throbbing or muscle spasms in your rectal area, and checked for fever and constipation. You can expect recovery time to be anywhere from two to three weeks.

While hemorrhoid surgery may be considered the most effective answer to getting rid of hemorrhoids and the best option for avoiding a recurrence of hemorrhoid problems, it is not the only answer to treating severe hemorrhoids. Ask your doctor if he or she considers you a candidate for a less invasive hemorrhoid treatment that might take care of the problem with less pain and recovery time.

Hemorrhoid surgery may be the best choice for you, but checking into the other options will give you a clear mind about taking the steps you need to hopefully be free of hemorrhoids for good. Talking to your doctor should give you all the information you will need to decide if hemorrhoid surgery is for you.

What are symptoms of Hemorrhoids?

Ihave a 4 wek old bub and I was getting extrremly constipated. I fixed that up now for the last 2 weeks when I have had to poop the stool is soft but i near go through the roof. It feels as though I am pooping razor blades. It is a stinging and tearing sensation. When I wipe myself there is bright red blood like a period but in the wrong spot.I have got my hubby to see if anything is hanging out and he said there is nothing there. What is wrong with me and is there a cure. I want to be able to pooh in peace again.
Sorry for being so graphic

It’s very common to get hemorrhoids from childbirth. Hemorrhoids are a varicose vein in your recturm. You’ll need to eat high fiber, whole grain foods, plenty of water, even taking metamucil or pericolace to help have a bowel movement. Your bowels are still hard and they are ripping against your rectum. That is why your see bright red bood. You may even feel like you have swelling. Take frequent sitz baths to relieve the pain. I remember the same feeling! It will get better as your body continues to heal from childbirth. You could also try some hemorrhoid cream so you won’t feel the tearing and the sore, itchy feeling afterward.
