I got this surgery 6 days ago 3 internal and one external and the more of these I see my heart breaks for everyone in the comments. All I can say is do your research well for good surgeon I put it off after the first two, just extremely painful exam was all I needed to not use then. Make sure they are giving you an injection called exparel if not find another. Is a pain killer that lasts from 3- 5 days and is non opioid. I’ve literally taken nothing but advil and have been managing the pain. First three days were rough I can’t lie 2nd day first movement was like shitting glass. I’m not saying there is no pain but people saying they are crying everyday is crazy. If you smoke quit before surgery and during recovery, take stool softeners days before and throughout the whole process drink water to the point you pee every half hour. Eat fiber like it is your job fruits, green vegetable stay away from red meat. I’ve been eating solid foods for 3 days already started with healthy soups I made at home. Sitting around makes it worse at least for me. Impedes your digestion. Soak in the tub with Epsom salt few times a day, ice packs multiple times a day. Idk maybe I have a high pain tolerance or something but these comments and stories sound crazy to me. Also seeing women say it’s more painful than giving birth I can’t believe that is true ain’t no way. I feel in about 2 weeks I will be back to living a normal life. I already had one set of stiches come out today as well. They gave me good printed out instructions for prep the food part and a lot of other aspects I just asked google. Like never use witch hazel to clean yourself as it is alcohol based will have your ass screaming. Stay away from a lot of dairy except yogurt those probiotics are good for your guts. The lidocaine I haven’t used yet would probably make it even better. Heavy pain killers constipate you so if you can avoid them do it. Can research doctors close by you people leave reviews they will pop up fast if they have alot of reviews take your time to prep research the surgeon as the recovery obviously is not easy for most. You can try banding but is a long drawn out process one at a time I didn’t want to deal with that. Been dealing with this for years was no way I was going to just keep it up makes your whole life miserable. Don’t put off getting your life back. May sound stupid to some but ask god for some strength to get through it be thankful everyday you feel better and keep a positive mindset brain is very powerful can keep you in a mad place. Good luck to everyone going through this you can do it just have to dig deep good things never come easy in life. And don’t read and watch a million videos telling you horror stories. Was my biggest regret of it all. The night before I slept an hour because I was so in my head and was so weak from not eating and drinking water for so long. I hope this comment can help some people get the courage to go through with it not everyone should have these nightmare stories and do your part to make it easier on yourself.
Thank you for leaving this comment!!! My surgery is scheduled 2 weeks from today and all I’ve watched and read about it has me terrified about the recovery process! It really helps when people like you (not just the miserable ones) leave comments!
@ no problem a big part of it is the mental state. You got that and your life is going to be way better after. People love to do this with everything make it sound impossible to get through. The worst part of the surgery for me was reading everyone’s nightmare stories lol
Brazil to Australia is a big move. I had this surgery 11 days ago. Habing a bathtub makes it so much easier. I fell asleep in there many times. Day 3 is terrible. I still feel sore snd worried if the procedure will be 100 percent,so i have to wait alittle longer to see 8f im cured. Thanks for making video.
I recently had mine 11 days ago. Got constipated as well despite all the fiber intake due to the general anesthesia. It was really painful during the first 3 days. But pain subsided now. No longer taking pain meds but still pooping is annoying. Been taking up psyllium and not staying on the toilet for longer time. And sitz bath is also helpful along with the Faktu ointment cream which I only figured out is better if refrigerated. All the best in your recovery!
Thank you for sharing this. I had the same operation. Did you have yellow stuff (I think the name is mucus) coming out from the open wounds? I’ve had that for over three weeks now. Since my operation. My surgeon said it’s normal. But I wonder when it will go away?
I'm on my 4th day post op. Due to an almost liquid diet of meal replacement shakes and about 2ltrs of water every day, my first 2 bowel movements were really painless. I'd been dreading it but it was such a relief.
Did you go on a liquid diet before the surgery, and if so, how far in advance would you recommend? I'm due to have surgery in 6 weeks and am panicing at all the pain stories
@@dl2213there's no sugarcoating, it does hurt, the after surgery, but also it's nothing we can't handle... First couple of times you need to evacuate it might hurt like hell, it might be ok. I was lucky that just the first 2 were painful (it's more painful because is a unknown pain) You don't know what to expect because it's the first time you experiencing that kinda of pain. It made me realise after all the pain that if I knew, I would've done the surgery way way before
@Ryan Lalonde In my situation, whilst I do have a grade 3 hemorrhoid, it is causing me no pain or discomfort. I went to the colorectal surgeon to ensure it wasn't cancer, and they recommended a colonoscopy and hemorrhoidectomy at the same time. I felt a bit rushed by this advice, so went ahead with the colonoscopy (which came back all clear) but did not proceed with the hemorrhoidectomy. If it starts to cause me pain, then I would do something - maybe look further into HAL-RAR.
Yes. Go on a liquid and high fiber diet 4 days before your surgery and continously after. Papaya, no sugar apple juice help as mild laxatives. They don't give you diarrhea unless you have crazy amounts. A little pickle juice also helps with constipation, and the after cramps/spasms that I experienced after surgery. I am on day 18 and still eating soups, broccoli, green beans, scrambled eggs woth spinach and tomato, small chunks of salmon, lemon water with mint leaves is another holy drink through this surgery, and non-caffeinated green tea. It helps naturally with pain management, healing, preventing UTI's, and bloating.
Thnx man I have watched so many videos and I was thinking to cancel my surgery which is next week but you have made me feel that I shd go and done with this regular torture which I m going through from last 7 years .
THANK YOU for making this video!!!! My surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from today and the only videos I’ve seen have been from people who have had nightmare recovery stories. It has made me so scared 😩 I really needed your video and cannot thank you enough for posting it! I’ve dealt with several grade 3 internal hemorrhoids as well as an anal fissure for about 10-12 years now. They have completely ruined my quality of life and I can’t go on like this anymore. Every day is a lot of blood loss and a huge struggle to get through. I’m praying my recovery is more like yours and less like the many other videos I’ve seen. You have given me some hope. So thank you, again. 🙏🏻
@@1901italianviolin that's exactly why I did the video, all videos I watched was just nightmares, I guess depends where you are in the world as well and the doctors, unfortunately 90% of nightmare videos I watched are from the USA. Mate, I understand, every single day, poop at a certain time, at home only so I could lay down after, blood loss, living my life around that issue, it was hell for 15 years ish Best thing I did was the surgery, is it painful? Yes, but the prize is worth. If you can get 2-3 weeks off or can work from home, that would be perfect. I got luck to have my surgery on first week of lockdowns in Melbourne, got a fresh PS5 and cyberpunk to keep me occupied 😂 Hopefully everything goes well, it's literally a pain in the ass this condition 😂 Have the house prepared few days before and lots of hot water there, I was jumping in the shower 3-4 times a day just for that hot water and lots of painkiller
On day 2 post op now, had mines on the 22nd. Youll be okay. Still havent had my first bm, but id imagine it feels like a bas case of anal fissures since thats what you are left with. Just taking Tylenol and sometimes advil for the pain. It sucks, but theres no going back, and im looking forward to better days.
Hello Thiago. Excellent video. Where so many other videos caused me to feel dread, yours filled me with hope. I have surgery next week... So scared... A few questions...(1) Any pre-surgery tips to ensure I am not constipated? (2) What pain killers did you take and how often? (3) Did you use laxatives? (4) Did baths help at all and finally (5) What was your first 2 weeks post op diet? Sorry for so many questions, but your video has been most helpful so far...
1) just try to keep simple with a good diet, fibre... Lots of fibre but in the right amount, don't overdo 2) normal pharmacy painkillers, 2 different ones + the antibiotic the doc prescribed which also worked as a painkiller 3) no, but for the first week or two I only had easy food, lots of soups, rice, crackers, smoothies and lots of water 4) best thing you can do is straight away after evacuating, jump in a shower, let the hot water run there (don't make it too hot, don't burn it) take all painkillers you can 5-10 minutes before evacuating and let the hot water help you 5) take easy in the first two weeks, have the first few evacuations, understand the pain and how your body is reacting to everything, drink n eat easy... Soups, fibre, lots of fibre, smoothies, rice ... Hope that helps a bit more
I had 1 or 2 three weeks ago and still very painful going to toilet. I'm frustrated 😠. I've been in excruciating pain for 2 weeks before surgery. I'm yet to experience if it was worth it. I hope so. The experience was super painful for me because I got an infection of stomach and I have some ulcerative colitis and it gave me diarrhea excessive. I stayed in hospital for 2 weeks. I have urgency for bathroom. I can't hold poop. I'm hoping to heal soon. Lord have mercy on me.
Congratulations, you got past it relatively easily. I just had surgery exactly 11 days ago. Indeed, passing bowels is really really painful. Added to the torment, I got constipated. So it is really a challenge right now. I'm taking psyllium fiber supplements and lots of liquids. Hopefully, I will get this over soon.
Thanks for the info. I’m going for a second round of banding in a few weeks. The first round did help somewhat, with the ones they banded. So I hope this round is helpful too. If not, I’m ready to just do the surgery and get it over with. I’m beyond sick and tired of being a slave to my bowel movements. I’ve been avoiding going places and doing things for years because I’m in discomfort from pooping, or worried that I’ll have to poop and want to be at home to do it because of the horrible aftermath. I’ve wasted enough of my life because of this stupid issue.
Story of my life. Just got the surgery done 6 Days ago. Terrible pain and no Signs of the light at the end of the tunnel yet but I know it’s worth it. You should definitely do it but be prepared for hell.
@@Corbytender1 best of luck in a full recovery. I’m actually doing a lot better right now, after my second round of banding. I just have a small one that sometimes prolapses but goes in while wiping, and sometimes doesn’t prolapse. It took 3-4 weeks after that second banding, but I’ve fortunately been pretty good for the last 2 months or so. I can function like this, at least.
I’m 10 day post op, and I have had the same experiences as you and the same op, as I was also not stitched up. The first 3 poops where the worst , the farting also hurts when it comes and goes. I did get constipated at some point which was painful even thought I was eating only fruits and water. I get these painful spasms, then I take the pain meds. As for now , I get pains during the night or the morning , then it’s just uncomfortable for the rest of the day. I can’t wait till it’s over. Your post was really informative.
Wow!! I can definitely resonate with your story and I'm also in the healthcare field and decided to do the hemorrhoidectomy because of the uncomfortable situation such as I can only poop at home and jump in the shower to cleanup right away.. day 12 post op for me and recovery hasn't been that easy but I hope it will get better going forward!!! Glad it went well for you
Hope it goes well with you. I'm living the dream, going for a poop now is so satisfying knowing I won't have to worry or do all this other steps to prevent from bleeding or whatnot, my life changed drastically after the surgery. Yeah, hang in there, it's a really delicate surgery anyway, every body reacts differently but hey, you are on the healthcare field, you know the drill. It took me over 6 weeks to be finally ok with "yeah, now I'm healed and can live normal"
how are you feeling now, hope you are feeling better and have recovered fully. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, its really helpful. By the way, did you undergo a laser hemorrhoidectomy ? Also what is your diet like now and how much water do you consume now on a day to day basis ?
Oh mate! Living the dream now. Wasn't laser, he cut off and left open (he said it heals better) and my diet is been "good" for the last few years tho. One thing is, to not have haemorrhoids back, you need to add fibre and lots of water in your day. Water is ok to consume the normal amount, 2 litres everyday. If you like açaí bowls (or whatever smoothies or whatnot) buy Metamucil, it's technically fibre in powder form and you can add to smoothies and bowls, or you can just mix with water and drink. It's helpful. And just go to the bathroom when you need and don't strain, let it go naturally, don't push it.
Hello, I’ve dealt with hemorrhoids for 25 years and had serious issues the last 6 years. Finally having the surgery this year. Thanks for your video, although I know what I may experience, nothing will compare to having a normal life. 😊
When I tell people how life changing this surgery was for me, they don't believe it. For over 10 years I could only poop night time, before bed, just so I could go sleep and relax my butt :( Good luck on yours, hope it's not too annoying the recovery
Congratulations on your successful surgery! Thank you for your insight. Currently, I'm on day 9 post-op. All I can say so far is.......OOOOOOOOOOUCH!!!!! 😰
Yeah man, not easy is it? First times going #2 was the worst feeling in the world and I had kidney stones a few years ago hahahahahaha But now I only regret not doing this surgery earlier
To hear someone else has been suffering since they were 15 makes me feel better. I'm 26 and just got it 2 level 4 removed, 2 weeks in. The sun shines brighter, the sky is bluer, I've never cried because I was happy before. I tried 3 skeleretherapy sessions and a banding. Cost me 6000$ out of pocket because insurance didn't cover. That gave me a little relief but than I Paid 400$ for the surgery and was in the hospital for a week and feel 100% How does that make sense
Thank you for sharing this. I had the same operation. Did you have yellow mucus coming out from the open wounds? I’ve had that for over three weeks now. Since my operation. My surgeon said it’s normal. But I wonder when it will go away.
Thank you. I’m so nervous about the pain, so it’s taking me a long time to prepare myself mentally. Do you know, were your hemorrhoids all around? My doctor said mine are only on one side. I also have a partial prolapse, on the same side. Did you change your diet before the surgery? Thanks again!
Can't sugarcoat this,it's painful yes but it was the best thing I did for me, now I regret I didn't do it earlier. Had 2 prolapses in one side only (I believe) Diet is not that hard, just lots of water and fibre, pretty much And just try to eat better, less junk food... Important thing is to not strain when you go #2, let the body do it's thing, if nothing happens in 2-3 minutes, try again later. Don't take your phone to the toilets, don't sit there for 15-30 minutes
Reading the comments i feel happy because there are a lot of people who know and understand what Iam through. Iam on my 5th day and it's not that easy. But all in all and as thiagi said, it's totally worth it.
@@gkmcjose4494 Man taking this surgery is the best decision of my life ever. Totally worth it. Do not panic if you continue seeing small amount of blood or if your rate of pooping becomes instable, i also had pain after pooping (after 01 month and a half for me). After 02 to 03 month everything will return to normal.
Thanks for sharing. I’m 26 and just got the surgery 6 days ago. It’s truly hell. So much pain, issues peeing, random spasms that cause sharp pains - it’s terrible. I’m hoping I can be healed soon. Still burning pain after bowl movements and burning in shower/bath so I can’t put water on it (not sure why).
Oh my friend, yeah it's painful and everybody have a different experience. But hang in there cause it's worth it once it's healed and you can live a normal life
Hii Grill how are you doing now, I too had my surgery 9 days ago ever since the Pain and burning sensation has come down by 60 % and I was off my pain meds after 5 days as they were causing hyper acidity, I sometimes feel random spasms one in a while which causes a bit of pain, but the main issue with me is that there is some sort of thick white sticky liquid that comes out from the anal region more so after going for poo that causes a bit of pressure to build up at the anal region ,did you also experienced the same thing ?
Thanks for sharing. I was released from the hospital on the same day, 6 hours after the procedure. The gauze discharge was relieving. I'm on Day 2 post-op and anxiously anticipating the first bowel movement. Very true there's a lot of gas and makes you second guess if it's gas or the main deal. I've been eating apples and fruits for now, hoping to buy clear soup tomorrow. The suspense is killing me. So far I haven't felt any severe pain and I think the medication works well. Did you experience having a few faint blood stains during your first few days? When did it stop? Now that you're back to normal, how often is your bowel movement?
It stopped bleeding after a couple of weeks, it was more like a "leaking" kinda bleeding, nothing to worry. And mate, there were days where I went 3x and it was weird feeling norma. Best thing I ever did
@@thiagosilva_1984 on the road to recovery. Faint blood stains/leaks still regular. It's the feeling of being bloated thats making me anxious. Strangely, the it's the post-op which seems harder cause there's a lot of unknowns and anticipation. It makes the surgery the easy part. Your story helps a lot. 👍
@@gkmcjose4494 I'm on Day 24 and there6s still some slight blood discharge if i push too much when pooping. That's why a soft stool is recommended to prevent this. Hope the leaking ends soon. Hope you recover sooner and with much relief. 👍
Day ten post op. What concerns me at this moment is that today I am experiencing the same pain while sitting down because of which I had done the surgery. I am scared that the problem might relapse. Although I understand that the problem has been removed, having the same pain after surgery is a bit frustrating. Hopefully this will go away.
It's a 6 weeks recovery surgery, after the 2nd week you can go to work but no heavy weights or things like that. It's a delicate surgery on a delicate part of your body
@@thiagosilva_1984 Thank you for your kind reply. It's very encouraging. Just letting the body take it's time for recovery. Hopefully with time problem will be gone. Thanks again.
@@nannuish it's painful and every individual take it in a different way, I was lucky Melbourne entered a 6 weeks lockdown next day to my surgery so I was able to not do anything and recover well. But I understand people having to go back to work and all.
@@thiagosilva_1984 True. Tho I work from home and have no pressure as such sitting down is necessary and that seems to be a problem. Keeping my fingers crossed as I just entered the second week. Hopefully in the sixth week I will have a different story. Pain compared to day one is much better tho. :)
@@nannuish one thing that helped me a lot was to buy one of those donuts shape pillow to sit on it. And keep taking painkillers , lots of hot water on it
Thank you for sharing your experience. I had my surgery 3 days ago and my bowel movement this morning was so painful. I hope by tomorrow I will be in less pain. But my 1st one was definitely torture.
I am about to have a surgery in October 8. Thank you so much for your information. I am a little nervous. I did suffer for so many years with this issue. Now with loads of pain every single day. Thanks again.
Thank you for your video. I’m on day 17 & recovering well. It’s been very very hard but so worth it..already. I didn’t take any pain meds as I didn’t want to get constipated so feeling proud of myself🥳
@@thiagosilva_1984 when did bleeding after bowel movements stop for you guys? I’m on day 5 after surgery and it burns so much after bowel movements and I still bleed a little bit
Hello Thiago Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m on day 4 post op and it’s been hell so far especially after poop. I’m scared of eating anything.. the pain is ginormous😢
@@hamizanazfars4944 hi mate i had urine retention and i couldn't pee because of pain so they put catheter for a week. Now after removal i can pee easily. Its been hard . This is my 2 week post surgery.
Thank you for the video the tips are helping a lot. I have one question how long did you played? I’m going on D6 and still have to change my goals a couple times a day in the blood is still there there wondering how normal is that
Oh mate, I do t remember at all. It feels like an eternity ago to be honest :) I'll check properly when I'm at home and I'll let you know. I'll come back here soon
Man those air bubbles are hell!!! Other then that I think I’m doing ok! Day #10 post op, finally was able to pass a bit of stool this morning. Started resuming normal activity day #8, went for a walk and a drive. Man I’m glad I did it cuz if I would’ve seen these videos I don’t think I would have done it. ( update day #18 still in pain after bowel movements which last about 2-4 hrs, first bowel movement is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced, don’t wish that pain on nobody, but it’s better to shit when u can, don’t hold it in, if one thing I would tell people don’t hold your shit in, just eat high fibers and ton of liquids, I promise it’s better to deal with that pain one time and get it over with instead like me waited 2 weeks before taking a dump.
@@gkmcjose4494 day number #19 and I can’t wait to be over feel like they haven’t done anything but put me through hell! Feels like I still have like 2 but only time will tell.
I’m 2 days in. Had to wait a year for surgery (England) was sent home two hours after surgery. The muscle spasms are the worse for me. I’m not one for painkillers so I’m really going through it. Only taking stool softeners at the moment. Getting spotting. I have had my first toilet today and that was painful with some blood.
Well I had my surgery this morning July, 15th 2022. I surgery was quick and easy with me . The pain was bad at first no lie… Now that im taking the medication the doctor gave me I feel ok so far..
Take only liquids, just liquids soups juices etc . Don't take solid and semi solid right now. .for one week or two weeks if you endure. Because right now it's better to have urine , and taking solid will cause you to poop which will hurt you .. may God heal us ..and take away our pain
Thanks for sharing your experience with us I did my hemorrhoidectomy six weeks ago but it still hurts every time I do #2 , The other thing is that there still some discharge coming out almost Continuously. The doctor said it’s OK you just need to do a lot of warm baths. Did you have any discharges in your case?
Hii Amer how are you doing now have your discharge stoped I am on my 9th day post surgery and I face the same issue, there is clear sticky liquid that comes out of the anal region and specialy more so after going for poo, is it a normal thing or something to be worried about ?
@@abcd65425 weeks after, when I got healed and 100% good to go, few weeks after I started having a really small poop discharge after pooping and cleaning. I still have a shower after my poops just cause I got used to but even after the shower, the next 15-20 minutes, if I go and use a baby wipe, there's a bit of poop there. I'm guessing it's normal (if it's not a big amount of course) specially depending on your pre op situation. After a big surgery like that, your anus will never be the same. I'm ok cleaning a bit more after I did the big cleaning after living 11 years with that issue. Go to the doctor and check with him/her.
@@abcd65425 thanks @Thiago and @JustLikeThat, and sorry I didn’t see your reply on time, so, what I meant by (discharge) is a (almost clear sticky fluid in a small amount) that I have to wipe it every hour or even less when I move a lot, and after taking a poo it still hurt till now, (4 months now) and the fluid is more and brown, so you know what’s there 🙈 and it keeps for about 10 hours, the doctor said the same, keep doing more sitz baths 🤷♂️
@@albavari99 I have also noticed that the discharge increases more after taking hot water sitzs bath in my case, can you also relate to this ,may be sitzs bath is the cause !!
Im on my 5th day post op, got laser surgery and fissurectomy. Not gonna lie 3days post op was the worst not just because of surgery pain but i got my periods few minutes before the surgery and it was havoc. I never had such bad cramps in my life and i couldn't feel any other pain other than that cause it was very severe. So ladies before scheduling the surgery jst check your dates. The next morning after the surgery i had my first poop and it wasn't painful. Following the days i had normal diet and poop was not painful just a stiffness in the muscles after every poop. However, on my 4th day post op it was bad like really, pinch of tear came out but not like dripping sort. Anyway i just wanted to say whoever is going through it please reach out to your doctor and choose the correct doctor don't go to a general surgeon, gastroenterologists are the best in this aspect. One thing for sure the pain that we used to endure pre surgery will really come to an end once the surgery is done and post surgery pain is still bearable so if you're thinking about it go for it.
i am 2 weeks post op. Pain level has settled down alot. from a 10 to 0. I am healing but i feel these little should i say stumps. I had my surgery while on vacation emergence type
As I’m typing this, I’m currently in an excruciating pain from my anus. Hemorrhoids are really painful and I’ve been suffering for 4 years now. What he said is just true, if i poop during the day, then that’s it but for the past two years, I’ve been pooping at night so after pooping i go to bed and when I’m up in the morning, the pain would be gone. I’m scheduling an appointment with the doctor cuz I’m really tired of suffering.
I can't recommend the surgery enough if you are having this pain which I also had for 10 years. It's fu#&$ annoying having to change your lifestyle because of the haemorrhoids. Hopefully you get good news from the doc and that your surgery goes well. Keep me posted if you wanna chat about it. Good luck buddy
@@thiagosilva_1984Just had the surgery on Tuesday 1/5/21. I had rubberbanding litigation done in May on a grade 3 internal hemorrhoid 2 more smaller hemorrhoids interal one on the verge of turning grade 3 and a smaller one with external hemorrhoids. Litigation was unsuccessful so I was the same as you, if I go to the bathroom I have to soak, shower take ibuprofen 800 and lay down for hrs before I could do anything at all even cook dinner . I have 2 small children and am normally a very active mom but this has changed things 100%. One day after being constipated I was in such excruciating pain that I decided I needed to find a surgeon this was in November. She confirmed the external hemorrhoids and a fissure which was causing tons of pain. I scheduled the surgery then I went online and started looking for blogs, videos and any info on hemorrhoidectomy. Big mistake! It stressed me reading the horror stories of some people I almost backed out. After the surgery I was prescribed oxycodone, ibuprofen, lidocaine jelly and stool softeners the nurse also asked if I wanted Tylenol. Which I don't take the oxycodone at all now and only took it the day of in the hospital and 2 pills at home the same day and one on the 3rd On the day of and 1st day I had discomfort and little pain nothing as excruciating as I was reading the 2nd day was the same. The 3rd day was bad bc by then everything wore off. I was afraid to go to the bathroom but felt like I needed to go. The pressure down there from the swelling makes you feel like you really need to go but you may not. Give your body time after surgery to heal don't base your experience or expectations on other people's because everyone is different and body heals at different pace. It is uncomfortable and painful at times but it hasn't been the same for me as majority of the horror stories I read. With that being said I prayed alot and had to ask god to come heal and help me a couple times when I took my pain meds too late. Stay on top of your pain meds it's much easier to get ahead of the pain then to kill the pain once it kicks in if you wait to long only god can help. Use lots and lots of heat, sitz baths, showers, I used my heating pad with my wet washcloth covering my heating pad and put it in my buttcrack on the lowest heat whenever I'm not soaking. The water should be as hot as you can tolerate it without being burned, if you don't have a bidet get one or at least a traveling one and plenty baby wipes (sensitive) to help clean yourself after using the toilet it also hurts to wipe so the bidet will do a lot of the work for you but you do still have to soak after, I recommend doing liquid diet smoothies or super soft mooshy foods for at least a week after surgery and like a day or two before because you definitely dont want to have to poop with a super fresh wound and when you do you want it to be as soft as possible but definitely not diarrhea. Drink plenty water rest rest rest. After my first bm I found that squatting over the toilet helped ease some of the pain and pressure back there and it didn't hurt as much as sitting down to poop. I am on day 9 now and unfortunately have the runs now from the stool softener. I didn't poop for the first time until day 4 and was afraid that I was constipated because I felt like I needed to go or was not emptying completely it was just the pressure from the swelling as a result I took 1 stool softener and some Metamucil on day 6 and 7. That was definitely a learning experience by day 7 I had diarrhea (not fun) hoping it's gone by tomorrow. Definitely find a proctologist to check you out and schedule your surgery. Best of luck I'll keep you in my prayers
Which hospital or doctor did this for you in Australia? I have had this also from about 20 years old, I am in my early 30's now and I am also looking to get this done. Also after the surgery how many days did it take before you returned back to work?
Did in Melbourne, a clinic doctor (forgot the name) in Moonee Ponds. Melbourne north west surgical, If I'm not wrong. They said 2 weeks you can go to work if it's not heavy on your body. My recover was fast and I work in bars, I felt I could've be back in 3 weeks But I highly recommend trying to stay as long as you can at home to recover perfectly.
@@thiagosilva_1984 Thanks for replying, it seems your doctor did a great job so thats why I want to know which doctor did this for you, hope you can find the doctor or hospital name
Hi Thiago! I'm so happy to have watched your video. A great testimony that not all experience from hemorrhoidectomy is bad. I am Day 6 post-op right now, and I have pooped twice so far (Day 3 and Day 5). I can relate when you said it's a struggle when you couldn't pass gas, and I'm lucky that yesterday was the first time I was able to pass gas comfortably for about 30 seconds straight. Were you using gauze pads or adult diapers during the first week to stop blood spots/flow from the wound? Thank you.
@@thiagosilva_1984 man thank you. I'm gonna set an appointment with the surgeon this Friday. I appreciate your encouragement, brother. Seriously and sincerely because I am afraid. Thank you.
@@thegreendoormx4441 just wanted to share my surgery nothing hurt me after the surgery not even the toilet visits I ate yogurt the day before only and took tablets regularly sometimes I could feel a little pain I am on the 8th day now nothing to be afraid of
Thanks for your video..the last one I watched the lady said not to do it because she was in so much pain....but she went to work three days after and didn't poop for two weeks...so I think with a good super light diet and pain killers with hot sitz baths I will be finw. I have had hemmroids since I was 18 and I am now 40...mine only have been super bad a few times before this last year...where it is almost every day I am in pain so think it will be totally worth it.
@@maticulex5713 take at least 2 days off but can easily sit down to work Make sure you have a comfortable chair, buy those donuts cushion to sit on and have a hot bath 3-4 times or more a day, just to have some hot water thrown on that area
@@thiagosilva_1984 thanks man. I actually went in today with my external hem thinking banding wasn’t an option. I don’t get them often but I figured get them removed early. I had every intention of getting a hemmorrhoidectomy but he said he could band from the inside for the external one and it would still work. So, I may miss the surgery fortunately. I HOPE. We’ll see. I appreciate your video
What was the pain medications they gave you? The hydrocodone make you constipated so I wonder why they give it. I am 8 day post op. I try not to take the pain meds for fear of constipation. I wonder if my experience could have been better with appropriate pain management.
Unfortunately I don't remember the proper antibiotic he prescribed which also worked as a pain killer but the other two I was taking were just normal painkillers, I was on Ibuprofen n Panadol. I didn't get constipated bit every body reacts differently. Hang in there little longer cause when the pain goes away, it's a different life, trust me Keep having salt baths and throwing warm water there every chance you get
Same on me i dont take pain medication because i might vomit again and stay whole day on bed. I rather take the pain after poop then sitz bath to lessen or reduce the pain.
2 internal haemorrhoids that "jumped" out and became external as well. Surgery, cut it out, "knife" Doc said no stitches, left open, he said better recovery, less pain.
Thank you! I’m getting mine done on the 21st and are trying to find positive experiences to put me in the right mindset. Mine are quite bad, I need internal banding and external surgically removed. I’m thinking of doing a clear water diet for a few days after but have also been to the naturopath today and are starting with vitamins that will help healing.
@@kateljbadger everyone reacts differently, mine were quite bad, dealt with that for 10 years, every single time I went to poop, it got swollen and uncomfortable, for 11 years. I could only poop at home and night time, just so I could have a shower after and throw hot water. I don't regret one bit... But yes, the first week, you wanna stick to a "white diet" just soups, smoothies, a lot of water and fibre. It's gonna hurt the first poops, a lot, can't sugarcoat this for you. But when you feel like going, just go, you gotta have to go anyway. Keep the pain pills around and just chill the f down. Stay at home, download all movies you want to catch up, tv shows, games or whatever hobby you have, get a donut cushion. It's gonna be painful and annoying but totally worth it. Remember, the pain will only reduce from the first day at home. So hang in there strong and survive the first days.
After the operation when could you do excercise like running on wright lifting? Did you have to change your diet after surgery? Im thinking of having this operation but scared of the pain
They say proper recover is 6 weeks. I got lucky that on first day after surgery, Melbourne went to a 6 weeks lockdown. If you do the surgery, highly recommend not lifting weight or heavy exercises for 6 weeks, it's a delicate surgery and no reason to go through all that pain to not recover properly, it's 6 weeks only of your life to recover then you can do whatever you want in peace from not having that issue anymore I was eating properly ish before so didn't have to change my diet but you do need to implement some fibre and drink lots of water everyday if you don't want that to happen again. It's just not diet, going for #2 has to be normal, no straining at all, let the body do the work, no sitting there for 10-20 minutes, if you need to evacuate, do your thing and get out. And some other little bits the doc will tell you (I hope... I hear a lot of people complaining because they didn't have a lot of info) I did my surgery in Melbourne and the hospital and the doc were amazing... That helps. And yes, it's painful but for me, pain was gone in 4-5 days. To go #2 the first few times is painful as hell, make sure you get painkillers and some other drugs the doc will prescribe.
@@thiagosilva_1984 thanks for your response. I have changed my diet and drink lots of water. Glad you didnt have to go on a liquid diet. The surgeon i just saw reccomend i still eat normally. The surgeon i am seeing is using a ligasure energy device to cut out haemorroids. So no stitches. Supposedly smaller wound, quicker recovery and less pain. The dr thinks a huge majority of his patients have tolerable pain and they go back to work in a week. Is this too good to be true? Or is he lying to me about the pain level? He thinks only a small amount of his patients complain about severe pain. The dr i saq was a man of a few words and seems to think it will be a smooth operation, as in i wont need to see him befoe the 1 month checkup. I am worried he wont give me much info after, but maybe its because he is confident the operation will be a success and not painful. He also thinks i can return to work in a week, which is too good to be true. The good thing is he wants me to stay in the hospital until my first bowl movement, so i guess i will have support while im at my worst. I remember in your video you said you had a colonoscopy. Was it in the same operation or was it a seperate procedure? The dr i saw wants to do them in 2 seperate procedures which is annoying. I am in australia as well, and am thinking of flying to another state to get a second opinion about the ligasure. If i get the same feedback from the interstate doctor i will stick with the doctor in my state. He is not a c0lorectal surgeon but highly educated and respected. I hope its true what he said about the ligasure operation to be not as painful
@@Yalbou cool, Australia is good, I'm also here :) Yeah, go back to work in a week or two is ok, just doing heavy exercise and lifting weight I recommend not but I'm a bartender, not a doctor. You do what you feel, hear and understand your body, go easy... Again, for me, I had an annoying amount of pain for the first 3 times that I had to poop, but then it was ok, I hear a lot of people complaining about this surgery but they got in the USA and things there are horrible anyway. Have you done the surgery already? I did the colonoscopy on that same day, went to "sleep" and woke up in my room after the colonoscopy and the surgery.
I just got me external haemorrhoids and I can say it has not been the most pleasant of experiences this is day 2 post op and it feels like the pain is becoming worse as the days go by. I'm relating to most of what's the guy says in the video except i haven't poopd yet cause I'm scared mostly of the pain that might come but so far it's been okay
@@olavidamaseb4124 I popped on my second day or third, don't remember much and yes, as I said in the video, there no sugar coating, it's gonna hurt but have in mind, you gotta do it eventually. Just try to prepare beforehand, make sure you can jump in a shower straight away after pooping, take all the painkillers you can (prescribed and in moderation of course) 10-15 minutes before Straight to shower and warm/hot water there But there's nothing much that can be done, it's gonna hurt, but the worst is gone, you did the surgery
You can go back to normal basics fee days after, the more you rest and look after the better but just sitting normal and driving and walking, few days after
Hey Thiago, Thank you so much for making this video. I'm considering having the surgery, and it is very helpful to find people with positive results, it gives me hope about having the surgery. Did you find that as a result of the having the surgery, it caused leakage? If so did the leakage resolve after healing up? Thanks in advance...
Over a year after and after I poop, have a shower, clean properly, like 10-20 minutes after, some poop still there but nothing that goes out on the underwear or anything like that... Imagine just like a cream tube when you press the cream and some little bit more keeps getting released from the tube. I just wipe again with some butt wipes and it's fine. Rather do that than live like I was before the surgery. Also, it depends on how long you've been having this issue, how big it is... Lots of factors matter.
Thank you so much... I am not having many issues other than having to manually push them back in after a poop, no pain or bleeding or leakage. It a hassle having to push back in after every poop, that's all. That's why I was considering having the surgery... Did you have leakage before the surgery?
@@jamesmartinez6266 mine was a big issue, I used to bleed a lot almost every single day. Not one single blood drop or signs of haemorrhoids back after the surgery
Thiago, I am so sorry... I am glad that having the surgery helped you... I have 2, grade 3 interior hemorrhoids, like yours, I guess I am lucky they don't bleed or cause any pain. They did bleed in the past, but haven't for 5 years or so. I just have to push them back in. Thank you so much for getting back to me. So thankful you are a good person and like to help people.
As am watching this video Am going to some pains but now it’s gonna okay as compared to the first week. Because today is my 15th day after my hermorriodectomy. But am getting better day by day. But to be honest it’s very very painful. It’s like hell am not trying to scared anyone. But it’s worth. Any the funny thing is I got Constipated for like 10 goods days and I can’t even fart 💨. Had to take pain meds. Sitz bath will be your best ever friend. Alhamdulillah am getting better day by day
Hello! I am having my hemorrhoidectomy this coming wednesday at the surgery center by my house. My dr is giving me local anesthesia. I am supposed to do an enema the morning of the procedure. My dr is prescribing me a narcotic and not sure if anything else. he mentioned about the sitz baths. I need to take 3 or more warm baths a day. I got some baby wipes and diaper cream for after i use the bathroom and when I change the gauze that will be in butt crack. I only have one hemorrhoid thats getting removed and my dr said I should be able to go back to work in a week. the paper does mention getting a fever and chills that night of the surgery. It says its common with rectal surgery. but if it continues into the next day I need to call my dr. he did mention that there will be blood.
i ai Thiago, lembra de min, eu sou irmao da ying, agente estudou no marillac junto. Eu tive o mesmo eu acabei de fazer surgery haemorrhoidectomy. a dificil
CHAN! Claro q lembro truta! Tudo bem? Caraca, que mu do pequeno, me achou num vídeo q fiz da Austrália hahahahah de uma operação... Que mundo loko. Tem insta? Me add lá thifrigene Abracos
I never got to that point, my haemorrhoids used to bleed almost every night when I finished my movements but it was a small amount. Iron or anemia was never an issue. I heard of some cases where the bleeding was more severe and those things happened but it wasn't my case.
Yeah, unfortunately thats what is happening in my case. I am getting ready to have the hemorectomy on February 11th. I'm just a little nervous though. I'm ready to stop the bleeding though so I will no longer be iron deficient anemic. The surgeon told me that that is most likely the cause of my anemia. Plus I can't wait to get it over with and feel normal again.
@@enriquevaldez2259 oh yeah, before the surgery it was all blood cloths and a bit used to drip in the vase. And yes, I'm not gonna lie to you,.it's gonna hurt and it's gonna be an annoying recover but hang in there cause it will be worth it, so worthy... I'm legitimately so happy about going for #2, I even enjoy cause I know it's normal. But yeah, be strong, the first couple of weeks will be annoying. Have your painkillers around, if you have a bathtub, stay there for hours, if you can, have 2 weeks off work and dont do anything. Just go for walks every now and then but stay inside, just recovering. And if you can, if you really can, stay 6 weeks without doing anything
@@enriquevaldez2259 good luck!! I just had mine done 8 hours ago. Numbing is wearing off. I think I feel pressure there. Been watching different videos here and I’m so scared now.
Do you remember how long you took pain medications ? Pls answer this . I'm on my 14 day after surgery. Still feeling pain while passing stool and after that too.. Actually I avoid taking pain medications because of its maybe side effects on my kidneys or other .. that why I have to endure pain... But when I take pain medicine the lower area didn't feel pain .. But how long this will to continue I wonder .pls Answer which I asked from you. Thnkyou
@Nacash Latif mate, it's a painful aftermath, more when you have to evacuate. The first few times will be hell, manageable tho, get some painkillers before going to poop and stay in the bath tub or with the shower head throwing water at your butt. But it's totally amazing to be able to be normal in that category once it heals.
Thanks for the reply man also are you ok to move around on your own the 1st 3 days stright after the oppration also what type of pain is, is just like uncomfortable or throbbing pain. Thanks
@@nacashlatif9411 first few days it will be weird, I was lucky to be in lockdown for 6 weeks anyway so all I did was looking after, eating easy food for the first 2 weeks and playing videogames. Bought those donuts to sit on the chair (reclining chair) and it was all good
i think you underwent general anesthesia thats why you dont have problem peeing..while iin other hand spine anesthesia one of complication is urine retention
Mine was spinal anesthesia I was scared because the nurse told me if I dont pee lots they will cathether me. The pain reliever they give me after surgery complicates on my part because I was vomiting. They stop it after 2nd dose. At first I pee a little to none then they give me a warmer to put on my bladder. Thanks to that I pee alot.
How was the urine retention @Arvs Nacs @boo sally? I'm Day 9 post op (spinal anaes) now. Sadly I had urine retention and was catheterised on D3 post-op. They drained 1.4 L out. Turns out I've overstretched my bladder and now they kept the urine catheter for 11 days to rehabilitate my bladder. I'm so dreadful whether I'll be able to pee myself when it's time to off the catheter...any tips to overcome urine retention??
@@thiagosilva_1984 ok great... you said the surgeon left the stitches open for them to heal better? Is there a name for that technique so I may talk to my doctor about it
@@sheldonhinds4923 if it's something that really affects your lifestyle, go for the surgery man, unfortunately can't guarantee will be a "piece of cake" like mine was, I was one of the lucky ones in comparison to a lot of videos put there. Where you located if I may ask? Just prepare the house beforehand, get some new games, get a donut cushion to sit on, get some painkillers and try to (if you can of course, life is hard on that matter) to get a couple of weeks of from work, the more you chill and look after the better, after 2 weeks anyway they say you can go back to work (not gym or anything hard, take it easy for the first 6 weeks)
Every body will react different. Just keep eating fibre and drinking a lot of water, the bleeding will stay for a couple of weeks, just buy those pads so you don't get your underwear dirty all the time
I'll be having hemorrhoidectomy in this coming week. Im Really2 scared right now + I have stomach ulcer too... My doc says it is ģrade 4. Should I be scared sir?
Doesn't matter the grade, it's gonna hurt. Not the surgery itself but the after. Everybody reacts in a different way, I don't know if the ulcer will aggravate the issue or not. One thing that helped me was my doc "hyping" me saying that's gonna be super annoying and painful. When it wasn't as bad as I thought (in my case) I was more relaxing. Make sure you have everything at home sorted. Grab some ointment, grab a "donut" cushion, some pain medicine (besides the one that they will prescribe to you) and just be strong, the pain will be over, one day or the other but in the end it's worth it. If you play videogames, buy a nice one, watch lots of tv, watch videos about it on UA-cam, that helped me a lot as well. Seeing people going through the same thing it calms you down a bit. It's painful but you will be alright. Lots of hot showers throwing warm water straight there And try to stick, for the first week, to easy food. Soups, smoothies, crackers and lots of water. And if you think you have to go poop, just go, don't hold it, you have to go anyway, might as well just rip that band aid. How old are you? Will someone be at home with you? Do you need to go back to work?
Any suggestions for why I’m getting random anal spasms in which my rectum clenches uncontrollably hard and of course causes extreme pain? Typically happens after I urinate (relax the sphincter) and then the body wants to lock it back up and it does this so aggressively and it hurts so bad. I haven’t slept a single minute in over 30 hours now.
Unfortunately my friend that would be something to discuss with a doctor, I'm just a Barman that had the surgery as well :( Wish I could help you there tho, really do... If it helps, I didn't sleep properly as well for the first day or so. I say try to stay chill at home not doing anything for the first week, regular showers just to throw warm/hot water on it, take some painkillers all day.... Get some haemorrhoids cream.
@@gkmcjose4494 Does not happen any more. I read it's due to the trauma from the surgery on the muscles down there, its all due to stress on the muscles which causes them to clench, especially during/immediately after urination in which you must relax that area to urinate. Does not happen at all any more. It happened quite frequently during the first 2 months I would say. That was the worst. For me at least, the slightest sensation, like a leg itch or someone spooking me would cause this clenching. Currently, I would say i'm 95% recovered. No more spasms, just very small swelling in that area still after bowel movements. Goes away very quick and not much of an issue, but still an issue.
@@Corbytender1 omg I’m so happy to know that! I get those spasms too often when trying to move quickly and urinate or just randomly. But I’m glad it’s just trauma, I kinda knew it was trauma because I could still control my anus muscle but I thought it wasn’t normal until I read your comment. Thank you for the information. Cant wait to heal. I’m glad you’re doing fine! 🙏🏼
@@gkmcjose4494 Yep that’s all it is! Really nothing you can do about it though, soaking in a warm bath (as warm as you can stand) helps relax that area though so maybe try that a few times a day. Definitely a horrible procedure with lots of struggle but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Take it day by day, you’ll get there!
Well my was 4 grade, I had 2 big piles and other small ones...Doctor said he will use on 2 big piles haemorrhoidectomy and small ones with laser>> So now post op I got 1 month, ussally I dont feel any pain, just pain in toilet pushing and after maybe some 3-5h...so take some pills...Also still got some blood, yellow thinks... Probably for me will take longer to recover.
Me too, grade 4. Both were removed with a scalpel. I'm 10 days post-op. It's quite uncomfortable, but I'm no longer constantly needing pain meds. It seems as though I live in the bathtub to ease the pain (better than drugs, no negativeside effects). It's hopeful to hear that at one month post-op, life can be pretty normal. Thank you
@ryanlalonde-py1bb thank you for asking. I'm doing great! At 3 weeks, I'd say I'm 80% healed, but I feel 150% better than I did before surgery. Truly, I feel like I got my life back. Freedom!
Heyy I’m on day 5!! I’m happy I found somone who just got a hemorrhoid surgery. But yeah it’s kinda normal ive been pooping like 3 times a day and it burns so much. Right after I finish I go to the shower and rinse with warm water and then take a sits bath depending on how well the rinse helped. But sometimes it continues to burn after rinsing so that’s why I take a sits bath. I still bleed a little too after pooping 😩
I have done with the surgery at 2 July 2022. Same things I'm experiencing.vut my question is when these Stitches got healed ?? So that I donot feel scared or pain while stooling..?
No stitches, had a gauze up there till the first time o went pooping. It was next day only or two days after, don't remember Ah and it will hurt when you go pooping, nothinguch you can do about that, after all it was a surgery right there You can minimise by taking some painkillers little bit before you go and again as soon as you can and don't try to clean it with paper or anything, poop and jump straight on a shower and let hot water (not super hot obviously) hit the region or of you have a bath, have a bath after cleaning in the shower, lay there on hot water
@@thiagosilva_1984 dear brother thank you for your response. I'm from Pakistan. And as you know we have traditions of many meaty and spicy dishes. Thanks God it is not hurting as much ... Imean it is tolerable while stooling and after stooling too..
@@thiagosilva_1984 but brother are you suggesting me that I should eat soft foods ? ( As I ate rice and chicken today which maybe I shouldn't eat, ) But I think I should take vegetables,soups and fruits only until my Stitches get heal ... I am trying best not to eat beef or anything hard ..
@@thiagosilva_1984 but brother is it ok isn't it? When I'm gonna perfectly alright ? And my rectal area get completely heal ? Today is my 9 th day after surgery...how much time it will take to feel normal rectal area(free from Sutures ) which we used to have 6 years back...
I think I developed anal stenosis 4 week after hommoroids surgery.. it means rectal area will be small due to healing and it would affect pooping. Does it happen with you ? Like having pain initially while pooping ?? And did it resolved in its own
I had massive (normal for the surgery as it is) pain in the first 3 poopy times but then it was way easier than I thought, again, I was intercalating pain killers Don't recollect having that problem but after surgery if you keep a good diet, lots of fibre, lots of water and not straining, it shouldn't be an issue Again, I'm not a doctor, any other issues, if you think it's related to the surgery, speak to your doctor.
Dude how are you doing now.. kindly make an update with your condition if it's okay with you..I was suggested hemorrhoidectomy two days ago and probably gonna get it done in a week or two...I wanna know how you are adjusting to it now
@@thiagosilva_1984 thanks. Was it open or closed hemorrhodectomy ? Does it look good (appearance wise) down there? Did you get any skin tags? And if you did , did they go away ? I have some other personal questions but i guess i better not ask them. But these questions will help a lot . Thanks Thiago
@@freshlove7926 I know there wasn't any stitches so I'm gonna guess open? If that's what you meaning with open or closed. No skin tags but heard they do go away. Follow me on Instagram @thifrigene and send e some questions there if you want
e aí BLZ vi que vc é brasileiro qual foi tipo de cirurgia vc fez foi o método tradicional por corte no bisturi ou foi PPH com auele aparelho que grampea ?ha e como vc esta agora teve astenose ?
Alright my friend. I got lucky that the day of my surgery was also the first day of 6 weeks lockdown in Melbourne. The more days off you can have after surgery the better. Mate, make sure you are stocked with painkillers, if you can find a nice haemorrhoids cushion/pillow thing, that helps. And for the first week or two, try to eat liquids n fiber, lots of soups n smoothies with fiber stuff. For the evacuation, take some painkillers and the antibiotics the doctor might prescribe like 10-15 before Now... For the first times (going to the bathroom) there's nothing much you can do, it's gonna hurt, unfortunately there's no sugarcoating. But take the painkiller before and straight away after evacuating, straight to the shower and try to let warm/hot water running in that region. Be strong for that pain in the beginning, remember that's worth it and when it's done, you won't regret, best thing I did, wish I've done it earlier Good luck
@@IamPali2024 do u see some blood after poops..? I m on week 4.no pain but i see some blood with my stool. sometimes it bleeds 1 to 3 drops. Did you feel like that in your case...
@@lior2551 Hello, for me recovery took a little over 6 months. Yes that long, but again that was due to the fact that I didn’t do anything about hemorrhoids for 11 years in addition to a chronic fissure. The worst part for me was the pain after surgery. That being said, I promise you its all worth it.
Solid for 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Was intercalating them every 2 hours a different one for the first few days, getting ahead of the pain before it actually striked. But remember to drink a lot of water and lots of fibre. First week just "white" food
@@klyptodog1041 Thank you for the quick response. In that 2 and a half months, how long did it take for you to return to normal activity (like work)? Could you walk around like normal? Would it bleed randomly? Basically what was the experience like 😅
@zee4125 i actually had an interview to work at an IT job and went in on my medications haha. Pain wise, after the 2 months, it was very minimal, and my life went back to normal 2 months and a half with no pain and honestly the best decision of my life to get the surgery. It's definitely a confusing and somewhat challenging recovery but grateful of the outcome. Bleeding stopped some time during the 2 weeks, but the pain remained until it healed better. The most painful or annoying part of it is definitely the little uncontrollable spasms you get back there but ive hesrd that not everyone gets them. Walking around was fine, not painful realy just uncomfortable. Encouraged to walk if you can. Mainly spent my time laying face down on my bed playing Resident evil 😈
Should I make another video? It's been 1 year now from my surgery... It's still one of the best things I did
Yes please
Yes
Very good video and yes please make another video
Yes please. Very good and helpful and reassuring because all you see are horror stories and telling not to do it.
Yes please
I got this surgery 6 days ago 3 internal and one external and the more of these I see my heart breaks for everyone in the comments. All I can say is do your research well for good surgeon I put it off after the first two, just extremely painful exam was all I needed to not use then. Make sure they are giving you an injection called exparel if not find another. Is a pain killer that lasts from 3- 5 days and is non opioid. I’ve literally taken nothing but advil and have been managing the pain. First three days were rough I can’t lie 2nd day first movement was like shitting glass. I’m not saying there is no pain but people saying they are crying everyday is crazy. If you smoke quit before surgery and during recovery, take stool softeners days before and throughout the whole process drink water to the point you pee every half hour. Eat fiber like it is your job fruits, green vegetable stay away from red meat. I’ve been eating solid foods for 3 days already started with healthy soups I made at home. Sitting around makes it worse at least for me. Impedes your digestion. Soak in the tub with Epsom salt few times a day, ice packs multiple times a day. Idk maybe I have a high pain tolerance or something but these comments and stories sound crazy to me. Also seeing women say it’s more painful than giving birth I can’t believe that is true ain’t no way. I feel in about 2 weeks I will be back to living a normal life. I already had one set of stiches come out today as well. They gave me good printed out instructions for prep the food part and a lot of other aspects I just asked google. Like never use witch hazel to clean yourself as it is alcohol based will have your ass screaming. Stay away from a lot of dairy except yogurt those probiotics are good for your guts. The lidocaine I haven’t used yet would probably make it even better. Heavy pain killers constipate you so if you can avoid them do it. Can research doctors close by you people leave reviews they will pop up fast if they have alot of reviews take your time to prep research the surgeon as the recovery obviously is not easy for most. You can try banding but is a long drawn out process one at a time I didn’t want to deal with that. Been dealing with this for years was no way I was going to just keep it up makes your whole life miserable. Don’t put off getting your life back. May sound stupid to some but ask god for some strength to get through it be thankful everyday you feel better and keep a positive mindset brain is very powerful can keep you in a mad place. Good luck to everyone going through this you can do it just have to dig deep good things never come easy in life. And don’t read and watch a million videos telling you horror stories. Was my biggest regret of it all. The night before I slept an hour because I was so in my head and was so weak from not eating and drinking water for so long. I hope this comment can help some people get the courage to go through with it not everyone should have these nightmare stories and do your part to make it easier on yourself.
Thank you for leaving this comment!!! My surgery is scheduled 2 weeks from today and all I’ve watched and read about it has me terrified about the recovery process! It really helps when people like you (not just the miserable ones) leave comments!
Thanks
@ no problem a big part of it is the mental state. You got that and your life is going to be way better after. People love to do this with everything make it sound impossible to get through. The worst part of the surgery for me was reading everyone’s nightmare stories lol
Will be having the surgery in 2 days i have an internal prolapse and its really really bad, praying for successful surgery and fast recovery 🤞
Thanks for your video. Had surgery today and I’m ok right now because of the numbing injection but the farts are trapped and that is a bit painful.
Brazil to Australia is a big move. I had this surgery 11 days ago. Habing a bathtub makes it so much easier. I fell asleep in there many times. Day 3 is terrible. I still feel sore snd worried if the procedure will be 100 percent,so i have to wait alittle longer to see 8f im cured. Thanks for making video.
thanks for the share. i think most people put the embarrassment to one side as helping others through the pain is more important. respect
I recently had mine 11 days ago. Got constipated as well despite all the fiber intake due to the general anesthesia. It was really painful during the first 3 days. But pain subsided now. No longer taking pain meds but still pooping is annoying. Been taking up psyllium and not staying on the toilet for longer time. And sitz bath is also helpful along with the Faktu ointment cream which I only figured out is better if refrigerated. All the best in your recovery!
does faktu cream really help to reduce the pain?
Thank you for sharing this. I had the same operation. Did you have yellow stuff (I think the name is mucus) coming out from the open wounds? I’ve had that for over three weeks now. Since my operation. My surgeon said it’s normal. But I wonder when it will go away?
Now you are fine or not.
I'm on my 4th day post op. Due to an almost liquid diet of meal replacement shakes and about 2ltrs of water every day, my first 2 bowel movements were really painless. I'd been dreading it but it was such a relief.
Did you go on a liquid diet before the surgery, and if so, how far in advance would you recommend? I'm due to have surgery in 6 weeks and am panicing at all the pain stories
@@dl2213 I'm dreading
@@dl2213there's no sugarcoating, it does hurt, the after surgery, but also it's nothing we can't handle...
First couple of times you need to evacuate it might hurt like hell, it might be ok. I was lucky that just the first 2 were painful (it's more painful because is a unknown pain)
You don't know what to expect because it's the first time you experiencing that kinda of pain.
It made me realise after all the pain that if I knew, I would've done the surgery way way before
@Ryan Lalonde In my situation, whilst I do have a grade 3 hemorrhoid, it is causing me no pain or discomfort. I went to the colorectal surgeon to ensure it wasn't cancer, and they recommended a colonoscopy and hemorrhoidectomy at the same time. I felt a bit rushed by this advice, so went ahead with the colonoscopy (which came back all clear) but did not proceed with the hemorrhoidectomy. If it starts to cause me pain, then I would do something - maybe look further into HAL-RAR.
Yes. Go on a liquid and high fiber diet 4 days before your surgery and continously after.
Papaya, no sugar apple juice help as mild laxatives. They don't give you diarrhea unless you have crazy amounts. A little pickle juice also helps with constipation, and the after cramps/spasms that I experienced after surgery.
I am on day 18 and still eating soups, broccoli, green beans, scrambled eggs woth spinach and tomato, small chunks of salmon, lemon water with mint leaves is another holy drink through this surgery, and non-caffeinated green tea. It helps naturally with pain management, healing, preventing UTI's, and bloating.
Thnx man I have watched so many videos and I was thinking to cancel my surgery which is next week but you have made me feel that I shd go and done with this regular torture which I m going through from last 7 years .
How your surgery went ?
@@alis9137 first few weeks were very tough but after that I m ok and recovered well .
THANK YOU for making this video!!!! My surgery is scheduled for 2 weeks from today and the only videos I’ve seen have been from people who have had nightmare recovery stories. It has made me so scared 😩 I really needed your video and cannot thank you enough for posting it! I’ve dealt with several grade 3 internal hemorrhoids as well as an anal fissure for about 10-12 years now. They have completely ruined my quality of life and I can’t go on like this anymore. Every day is a lot of blood loss and a huge struggle to get through. I’m praying my recovery is more like yours and less like the many other videos I’ve seen. You have given me some hope. So thank you, again. 🙏🏻
@@1901italianviolin that's exactly why I did the video, all videos I watched was just nightmares, I guess depends where you are in the world as well and the doctors, unfortunately 90% of nightmare videos I watched are from the USA.
Mate, I understand, every single day, poop at a certain time, at home only so I could lay down after, blood loss, living my life around that issue, it was hell for 15 years ish
Best thing I did was the surgery, is it painful? Yes, but the prize is worth.
If you can get 2-3 weeks off or can work from home, that would be perfect.
I got luck to have my surgery on first week of lockdowns in Melbourne, got a fresh PS5 and cyberpunk to keep me occupied 😂
Hopefully everything goes well, it's literally a pain in the ass this condition 😂
Have the house prepared few days before and lots of hot water there, I was jumping in the shower 3-4 times a day just for that hot water and lots of painkiller
On day 2 post op now, had mines on the 22nd. Youll be okay. Still havent had my first bm, but id imagine it feels like a bas case of anal fissures since thats what you are left with. Just taking Tylenol and sometimes advil for the pain. It sucks, but theres no going back, and im looking forward to better days.
Hello Thiago. Excellent video. Where so many other videos caused me to feel dread, yours filled me with hope. I have surgery next week... So scared... A few questions...(1) Any pre-surgery tips to ensure I am not constipated? (2) What pain killers did you take and how often? (3) Did you use laxatives? (4) Did baths help at all and finally (5) What was your first 2 weeks post op diet? Sorry for so many questions, but your video has been most helpful so far...
1) just try to keep simple with a good diet, fibre... Lots of fibre but in the right amount, don't overdo
2) normal pharmacy painkillers, 2 different ones + the antibiotic the doc prescribed which also worked as a painkiller
3) no, but for the first week or two I only had easy food, lots of soups, rice, crackers, smoothies and lots of water
4) best thing you can do is straight away after evacuating, jump in a shower, let the hot water run there (don't make it too hot, don't burn it) take all painkillers you can 5-10 minutes before evacuating and let the hot water help you
5) take easy in the first two weeks, have the first few evacuations, understand the pain and how your body is reacting to everything, drink n eat easy... Soups, fibre, lots of fibre, smoothies, rice ...
Hope that helps a bit more
@@thiagosilva_1984 Thank you SO much Thiago. Super helpful.
@@adedamolaadelaja4151how did it go? Your surgery. And how is your recovery going so far?
I had 1 or 2 three weeks ago and still very painful going to toilet. I'm frustrated 😠. I've been in excruciating pain for 2 weeks before surgery. I'm yet to experience if it was worth it. I hope so.
The experience was super painful for me because I got an infection of stomach and I have some ulcerative colitis and it gave me diarrhea excessive. I stayed in hospital for 2 weeks. I have urgency for bathroom. I can't hold poop.
I'm hoping to heal soon. Lord have mercy on me.
How are you now?
@teemo6335 I have not healed yet. The fistula surgery still pain when I go to toilet. But most days are much better. I can function normally
Congratulations, you got past it relatively easily. I just had surgery exactly 11 days ago. Indeed, passing bowels is really really painful. Added to the torment, I got constipated. So it is really a challenge right now. I'm taking psyllium fiber supplements and lots of liquids. Hopefully, I will get this over soon.
Fiber makes stool bulky. Why would you do that? Swap it out for a stool softener.
Excellent upload. Thank you. I pray to G-d that if I decide to have it, it’s closer to yours than to some of the other videos I watched.
I also hope so, I also got scared of all the videos out there. Thank god my experience was good. I would never wish this kind of pain in anyone else
Thanks for the info. I’m going for a second round of banding in a few weeks. The first round did help somewhat, with the ones they banded. So I hope this round is helpful too. If not, I’m ready to just do the surgery and get it over with. I’m beyond sick and tired of being a slave to my bowel movements. I’ve been avoiding going places and doing things for years because I’m in discomfort from pooping, or worried that I’ll have to poop and want to be at home to do it because of the horrible aftermath. I’ve wasted enough of my life because of this stupid issue.
Story of my life. Just got the surgery done 6 Days ago. Terrible pain and no Signs of the light at the end of the tunnel yet but I know it’s worth it. You should definitely do it but be prepared for hell.
@@Corbytender1 best of luck in a full recovery. I’m actually doing a lot better right now, after my second round of banding. I just have a small one that sometimes prolapses but goes in while wiping, and sometimes doesn’t prolapse. It took 3-4 weeks after that second banding, but I’ve fortunately been pretty good for the last 2 months or so. I can function like this, at least.
@@jons5658 hoping you don’t need the surgery! Band litigation typically works for most people. Didn’t work for me however...
I’m 10 day post op, and I have had the same experiences as you and the same op, as I was also not stitched up. The first 3 poops where the worst , the farting also hurts when it comes and goes. I did get constipated at some point which was painful even thought I was eating only fruits and water. I get these painful spasms, then I take the pain meds. As for now , I get pains during the night or the morning , then it’s just uncomfortable for the rest of the day. I can’t wait till it’s over. Your post was really informative.
Appreciate. Hang in there cause when it's over, it's life changing. I'm so happy for doing this surgery.
Wow!! I can definitely resonate with your story and I'm also in the healthcare field and decided to do the hemorrhoidectomy because of the uncomfortable situation such as I can only poop at home and jump in the shower to cleanup right away.. day 12 post op for me and recovery hasn't been that easy but I hope it will get better going forward!!! Glad it went well for you
Hope it goes well with you. I'm living the dream, going for a poop now is so satisfying knowing I won't have to worry or do all this other steps to prevent from bleeding or whatnot, my life changed drastically after the surgery. Yeah, hang in there, it's a really delicate surgery anyway, every body reacts differently but hey, you are on the healthcare field, you know the drill. It took me over 6 weeks to be finally ok with "yeah, now I'm healed and can live normal"
Thank you for making this video. It's very comforting!
how are you feeling now, hope you are feeling better and have recovered fully. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, its really helpful. By the way, did you undergo a laser hemorrhoidectomy ? Also what is your diet like now and how much water do you consume now on a day to day basis ?
Oh mate! Living the dream now. Wasn't laser, he cut off and left open (he said it heals better) and my diet is been "good" for the last few years tho. One thing is, to not have haemorrhoids back, you need to add fibre and lots of water in your day. Water is ok to consume the normal amount, 2 litres everyday. If you like açaí bowls (or whatever smoothies or whatnot) buy Metamucil, it's technically fibre in powder form and you can add to smoothies and bowls, or you can just mix with water and drink. It's helpful.
And just go to the bathroom when you need and don't strain, let it go naturally, don't push it.
Hello, I’ve dealt with hemorrhoids for 25 years and had serious issues the last 6 years. Finally having the surgery this year. Thanks for your video, although I know what I may experience, nothing will compare to having a normal life. 😊
When I tell people how life changing this surgery was for me, they don't believe it. For over 10 years I could only poop night time, before bed, just so I could go sleep and relax my butt :(
Good luck on yours, hope it's not too annoying the recovery
Did you do your surgery?
How are you now?
St lucia the Caribbean I had my surgery on the 3th of July 2023 and you are so ture about everything
Thanks Thiago Silva. My surgery is scheduled for the day after. Your video has lessened by nervousness and given valuable suggestions. Thanks bro
I'm not gonna lie my friend, it's painful and annoying. But hang in there and be strong cause once it's healed, you will be living a different life.
How did surgery go for you?
Congratulations on your successful surgery!
Thank you for your insight. Currently, I'm on day 9 post-op.
All I can say so far is.......OOOOOOOOOOUCH!!!!! 😰
Yeah man, not easy is it? First times going #2 was the worst feeling in the world and I had kidney stones a few years ago hahahahahaha
But now I only regret not doing this surgery earlier
Day 10 bro I didn't shit for the first 6 days, I'm relatively pain free but before I poop I've to jump into the shower get out poop then jump back in
I’m on day 5. How are u guys doing?
To hear someone else has been suffering since they were 15 makes me feel better. I'm 26 and just got it 2 level 4 removed, 2 weeks in. The sun shines brighter, the sky is bluer, I've never cried because I was happy before.
I tried 3 skeleretherapy sessions and a banding. Cost me 6000$ out of pocket because insurance didn't cover. That gave me a little relief but than I Paid 400$ for the surgery and was in the hospital for a week and feel 100% How does that make sense
Thank you for sharing this. I had the same operation. Did you have yellow mucus coming out from the open wounds? I’ve had that for over three weeks now. Since my operation. My surgeon said it’s normal. But I wonder when it will go away.
Don't remember that happening to me, said that, I wore a diaper for the first 2-3 weeks till the bleeding went away
@@thiagosilva_1984Ok. Thank you for your respond. ❤
Is it still happening
Yellow discharge could indicate infection.
Thank you. I’m so nervous about the pain, so it’s taking me a long time to prepare myself mentally. Do you know, were your hemorrhoids all around? My doctor said mine are only on one side. I also have a partial prolapse, on the same side. Did you change your diet before the surgery? Thanks again!
Can't sugarcoat this,it's painful yes but it was the best thing I did for me, now I regret I didn't do it earlier.
Had 2 prolapses in one side only (I believe)
Diet is not that hard, just lots of water and fibre, pretty much
And just try to eat better, less junk food...
Important thing is to not strain when you go #2, let the body do it's thing, if nothing happens in 2-3 minutes, try again later.
Don't take your phone to the toilets, don't sit there for 15-30 minutes
Reading the comments i feel happy because there are a lot of people who know and understand what Iam through. Iam on my 5th day and it's not that easy. But all in all and as thiagi said, it's totally worth it.
These type of comments help scared people like me to go through it.
Hey man how are u doing now in recovery? I’m on day 5 currently and I still get pains
@@gkmcjose4494 Man taking this surgery is the best decision of my life ever. Totally worth it. Do not panic if you continue seeing small amount of blood or if your rate of pooping becomes instable, i also had pain after pooping (after 01 month and a half for me). After 02 to 03 month everything will return to normal.

Thanks for sharing. I’m 26 and just got the surgery 6 days ago. It’s truly hell. So much pain, issues peeing, random spasms that cause sharp pains - it’s terrible. I’m hoping I can be healed soon. Still burning pain after bowl movements and burning in shower/bath so I can’t put water on it (not sure why).
Oh my friend, yeah it's painful and everybody have a different experience. But hang in there cause it's worth it once it's healed and you can live a normal life
Hii Grill how are you doing now, I too had my surgery 9 days ago ever since the Pain and burning sensation has come down by 60 % and I was off my pain meds after 5 days as they were causing hyper acidity, I sometimes feel random spasms one in a while which causes a bit of pain, but the main issue with me is that there is some sort of thick white sticky liquid that comes out from the anal region more so after going for poo that causes a bit of pressure to build up at the anal region ,did you also experienced the same thing ?
You need to dry that happens to me you was burning a lot but I have to use the blower and dry it no more pain that part need to be dry
@@julioboria2582 thanx for your valuable information !!
@@julioboria2582 hows your condittion now??
Thanks for sharing. I was released from the hospital on the same day, 6 hours after the procedure. The gauze discharge was relieving. I'm on Day 2 post-op and anxiously anticipating the first bowel movement. Very true there's a lot of gas and makes you second guess if it's gas or the main deal. I've been eating apples and fruits for now, hoping to buy clear soup tomorrow. The suspense is killing me. So far I haven't felt any severe pain and I think the medication works well. Did you experience having a few faint blood stains during your first few days? When did it stop? Now that you're back to normal, how often is your bowel movement?
It stopped bleeding after a couple of weeks, it was more like a "leaking" kinda bleeding, nothing to worry.
And mate, there were days where I went 3x and it was weird feeling norma. Best thing I ever did
@@thiagosilva_1984 on the road to recovery. Faint blood stains/leaks still regular. It's the feeling of being bloated thats making me anxious. Strangely, the it's the post-op which seems harder cause there's a lot of unknowns and anticipation. It makes the surgery the easy part. Your story helps a lot. 👍
@@jaydj happy to help. This surgery is not fun at all
@@jaydj hey I’m on day 5 after surgery too. I still bleed a little bit and it burns so much.
@@gkmcjose4494 I'm on Day 24 and there6s still some slight blood discharge if i push too much when pooping. That's why a soft stool is recommended to prevent this. Hope the leaking ends soon. Hope you recover sooner and with much relief. 👍
Day ten post op. What concerns me at this moment is that today I am experiencing the same pain while sitting down because of which I had done the surgery. I am scared that the problem might relapse. Although I understand that the problem has been removed, having the same pain after surgery is a bit frustrating. Hopefully this will go away.
It's a 6 weeks recovery surgery, after the 2nd week you can go to work but no heavy weights or things like that. It's a delicate surgery on a delicate part of your body

@@thiagosilva_1984 True. Tho I work from home and have no pressure as such sitting down is necessary and that seems to be a problem. Keeping my fingers crossed as I just entered the second week.

@@nannuish one thing that helped me a lot was to buy one of those donuts shape pillow to sit on it.

Man those air bubbles are hell!!! Other then that I think I’m doing ok! Day #10 post op, finally was able to pass a bit of stool this morning. Started resuming normal activity day #8, went for a walk and a drive. Man I’m glad I did it cuz if I would’ve seen these videos I don’t think I would have done it.

Only taking stool softeners at the moment. Getting spotting. I have had my first toilet today and that was painful with some blood.

Where are you living?
Take only liquids, just liquids soups juices etc . Don't take solid and semi solid right now. .for one week or two weeks if you endure. Because right now it's better to have urine , and taking solid will cause you to poop which will hurt you .. may God heal us ..and take away our pain

how you travelling after surgery?
June 15th for me feeling better everyday but still got some healing todo
Thanks for sharing your experience with us I did my hemorrhoidectomy six weeks ago but it still hurts every time I do #2 ,
The other thing is that there still some discharge coming out almost Continuously.
The doctor said it’s OK you just need to do a lot of warm baths.
Did you have any discharges in your case?
I don't want to sound stupid here but what you mean when you say discharge?
Hii Amer how are you doing now have your discharge stoped I am on my 9th day post surgery and I face the same issue, there is clear sticky liquid that comes out of the anal region and specialy more so after going for poo, is it a normal thing or something to be worried about ?
@@abcd65425 weeks after, when I got healed and 100% good to go, few weeks after I started having a really small poop discharge after pooping and cleaning. I still have a shower after my poops just cause I got used to but even after the shower, the next 15-20 minutes, if I go and use a baby wipe, there's a bit of poop there. I'm guessing it's normal (if it's not a big amount of course) specially depending on your pre op situation. After a big surgery like that, your anus will never be the same. I'm ok cleaning a bit more after I did the big cleaning after living 11 years with that issue. Go to the doctor and check with him/her.
@@abcd65425 thanks @Thiago and @JustLikeThat, and sorry I didn’t see your reply on time, so, what I meant by (discharge) is a (almost clear sticky fluid in a small amount) that I have to wipe it every hour or even less when I move a lot, and after taking a poo it still hurt till now, (4 months now) and the fluid is more and brown, so you know what’s there 🙈 and it keeps for about 10 hours, the doctor said the same, keep doing more sitz baths 🤷♂️
@@albavari99 I have also noticed that the discharge increases more after taking hot water sitzs bath in my case, can you also relate to this ,may be sitzs bath is the cause !!
Im on my 5th day post op, got laser surgery and fissurectomy. Not gonna lie 3days post op was the worst not just because of surgery pain but i got my periods few minutes before the surgery and it was havoc. I never had such bad cramps in my life and i couldn't feel any other pain other than that cause it was very severe. So ladies before scheduling the surgery jst check your dates. The next morning after the surgery i had my first poop and it wasn't painful. Following the days i had normal diet and poop was not painful just a stiffness in the muscles after every poop. However, on my 4th day post op it was bad like really, pinch of tear came out but not like dripping sort. Anyway i just wanted to say whoever is going through it please reach out to your doctor and choose the correct doctor don't go to a general surgeon, gastroenterologists are the best in this aspect. One thing for sure the pain that we used to endure pre surgery will really come to an end once the surgery is done and post surgery pain is still bearable so if you're thinking about it go for it.
how are you doing now
Thank you for the video! Very positive
Did you lose any weight in the process of post op?
I lost 10 pounds and I weighed 120 pounds before.
Was it worth it? The surgery and all the pain after ?
i am 2 weeks post op. Pain level has settled down alot. from a 10 to 0. I am healing but i feel these little should i say stumps. I had my surgery while on vacation emergence type
Hey how are u now after surgery? I’m on day 5
As I’m typing this, I’m currently in an excruciating pain from my anus. Hemorrhoids are really painful and I’ve been suffering for 4 years now. What he said is just true, if i poop during the day, then that’s it but for the past two years, I’ve been pooping at night so after pooping i go to bed and when I’m up in the morning, the pain would be gone. I’m scheduling an appointment with the doctor cuz I’m really tired of suffering.
I can't recommend the surgery enough if you are having this pain which I also had for 10 years. It's fu#&$ annoying having to change your lifestyle because of the haemorrhoids. Hopefully you get good news from the doc and that your surgery goes well. Keep me posted if you wanna chat about it. Good luck buddy
@@thiagosilva_1984Just had the surgery on Tuesday 1/5/21. I had rubberbanding litigation done in May on a grade 3 internal hemorrhoid 2 more smaller hemorrhoids interal one on the verge of turning grade 3 and a smaller one with external hemorrhoids. Litigation was unsuccessful so I was the same as you, if I go to the bathroom I have to soak, shower take ibuprofen 800 and lay down for hrs before I could do anything at all even cook dinner . I have 2 small children and am normally a very active mom but this has changed things 100%. One day after being constipated I was in such excruciating pain that I decided I needed to find a surgeon this was in November. She confirmed the external hemorrhoids and a fissure which was causing tons of pain. I scheduled the surgery then I went online and started looking for blogs, videos and any info on hemorrhoidectomy. Big mistake! It stressed me reading the horror stories of some people I almost backed out. After the surgery I was prescribed oxycodone, ibuprofen, lidocaine jelly and stool softeners the nurse also asked if I wanted Tylenol. Which I don't take the oxycodone at all now and only took it the day of in the hospital and 2 pills at home the same day and one on the 3rd On the day of and 1st day I had discomfort and little pain nothing as excruciating as I was reading the 2nd day was the same. The 3rd day was bad bc by then everything wore off. I was afraid to go to the bathroom but felt like I needed to go. The pressure down there from the swelling makes you feel like you really need to go but you may not. Give your body time after surgery to heal don't base your experience or expectations on other people's because everyone is different and body heals at different pace. It is uncomfortable and painful at times but it hasn't been the same for me as majority of the horror stories I read. With that being said I prayed alot and had to ask god to come heal and help me a couple times when I took my pain meds too late. Stay on top of your pain meds it's much easier to get ahead of the pain then to kill the pain once it kicks in if you wait to long only god can help. Use lots and lots of heat, sitz baths, showers, I used my heating pad with my wet washcloth covering my heating pad and put it in my buttcrack on the lowest heat whenever I'm not soaking. The water should be as hot as you can tolerate it without being burned, if you don't have a bidet get one or at least a traveling one and plenty baby wipes (sensitive) to help clean yourself after using the toilet it also hurts to wipe so the bidet will do a lot of the work for you but you do still have to soak after, I recommend doing liquid diet smoothies or super soft mooshy foods for at least a week after surgery and like a day or two before because you definitely dont want to have to poop with a super fresh wound and when you do you want it to be as soft as possible but definitely not diarrhea. Drink plenty water rest rest rest. After my first bm I found that squatting over the toilet helped ease some of the pain and pressure back there and it didn't hurt as much as sitting down to poop. I am on day 9 now and unfortunately have the runs now from the stool softener. I didn't poop for the first time until day 4 and was afraid that I was constipated because I felt like I needed to go or was not emptying completely it was just the pressure from the swelling as a result I took 1 stool softener and some Metamucil on day 6 and 7. That was definitely a learning experience by day 7 I had diarrhea (not fun) hoping it's gone by tomorrow. Definitely find a proctologist to check you out and schedule your surgery. Best of luck I'll keep you in my prayers
@@k.k.1364 thanks for the details. Hows your conditon ?
Which hospital or doctor did this for you in Australia? I have had this also from about 20 years old, I am in my early 30's now and I am also looking to get this done. Also after the surgery how many days did it take before you returned back to work?
Did in Melbourne, a clinic doctor (forgot the name) in Moonee Ponds. Melbourne north west surgical, If I'm not wrong.
They said 2 weeks you can go to work if it's not heavy on your body.
My recover was fast and I work in bars, I felt I could've be back in 3 weeks
But I highly recommend trying to stay as long as you can at home to recover perfectly.
@@thiagosilva_1984 Thanks for replying, it seems your doctor did a great job so thats why I want to know which doctor did this for you, hope you can find the doctor or hospital name
@@footytakeout yeah, google Melbourne North West Surgical, it's that one
@@thiagosilva_1984 Thanks. I know this is private but what is the cost for the procedure like? Not the actual amount but an estimate would do.
Hope you reply my last question about an estimated cost of the procedure
Hi Thiago! I'm so happy to have watched your video. A great testimony that not all experience from hemorrhoidectomy is bad. I am Day 6 post-op right now, and I have pooped twice so far (Day 3 and Day 5). I can relate when you said it's a struggle when you couldn't pass gas, and I'm lucky that yesterday was the first time I was able to pass gas comfortably for about 30 seconds straight. Were you using gauze pads or adult diapers during the first week to stop blood spots/flow from the wound? Thank you.
You are welcome. It helped me a lot watching other people's videos but most of them is just bad experience with it.
I'm 40 years old and am thinking of getting the surgery , but man oh man the pain terrifies me.
If it helps a bit, I was 36 when I did mine. It's worth my man, if it's an annoying thing you've been dealing for a few years, go for it
@@thiagosilva_1984 man thank you. I'm gonna set an appointment with the surgeon this Friday. I appreciate your encouragement, brother. Seriously and sincerely because I am afraid. Thank you.

Thanks for your video..the last one I watched the lady said not to do it because she was in so much pain....but she went to work three days after and didn't poop for two weeks...so I think with a good super light diet and pain killers with hot sitz baths I will be finw. I have had hemmroids since I was 18 and I am now 40...mine only have been super bad a few times before this last year...where it is almost every day I am in pain so think it will be totally worth it.
did you end up getting the surgery?
You think I could manage working remote after the surgery? I’m in a senior position at work and I can’t afford to miss more than a week
@@maticulex5713 take at least 2 days off but can easily sit down to work
Make sure you have a comfortable chair, buy those donuts cushion to sit on and have a hot bath 3-4 times or more a day, just to have some hot water thrown on that area
@@thiagosilva_1984 thanks man. I actually went in today with my external hem thinking banding wasn’t an option. I don’t get them often but I figured get them removed early. I had every intention of getting a hemmorrhoidectomy but he said he could band from the inside for the external one and it would still work. So, I may miss the surgery fortunately. I HOPE. We’ll see. I appreciate your video
What was the pain medications they gave you? The hydrocodone make you constipated so I wonder why they give it. I am 8 day post op. I try not to take the pain meds for fear of constipation. I wonder if my experience could have been better with appropriate pain management.
Unfortunately I don't remember the proper antibiotic he prescribed which also worked as a pain killer but the other two I was taking were just normal painkillers, I was on Ibuprofen n Panadol. I didn't get constipated bit every body reacts differently. Hang in there little longer cause when the pain goes away, it's a different life, trust me
Keep having salt baths and throwing warm water there every chance you get
Same on me i dont take pain medication because i might vomit again and stay whole day on bed. I rather take the pain after poop then sitz bath to lessen or reduce the pain.
What did you actually get removed and how? Banding or surgical removal? Internal or external? Thanks in advance :)
2 internal haemorrhoids that "jumped" out and became external as well.
Surgery, cut it out, "knife"
Doc said no stitches, left open, he said better recovery, less pain.
Let me know if you wanna know Nothing else or just talk away your worries, it helped me a lot watch videos of people talking about it
Thank you! I’m getting mine done on the 21st and are trying to find positive experiences to put me in the right mindset. Mine are quite bad, I need internal banding and external surgically removed. I’m thinking of doing a clear water diet for a few days after but have also been to the naturopath today and are starting with vitamins that will help healing.
@@kateljbadger everyone reacts differently, mine were quite bad, dealt with that for 10 years, every single time I went to poop, it got swollen and uncomfortable, for 11 years. I could only poop at home and night time, just so I could have a shower after and throw hot water. I don't regret one bit...
But yes, the first week, you wanna stick to a "white diet" just soups, smoothies, a lot of water and fibre. It's gonna hurt the first poops, a lot, can't sugarcoat this for you.
But when you feel like going, just go, you gotta have to go anyway.
Keep the pain pills around and just chill the f down. Stay at home, download all movies you want to catch up, tv shows, games or whatever hobby you have, get a donut cushion.
It's gonna be painful and annoying but totally worth it.
Remember, the pain will only reduce from the first day at home. So hang in there strong and survive the first days.
Thank you so much for all the info! Most is so negative and you give me hope!
Thank you for this information.
After the operation when could you do excercise like running on wright lifting? Did you have to change your diet after surgery? Im thinking of having this operation but scared of the pain
They say proper recover is 6 weeks. I got lucky that on first day after surgery, Melbourne went to a 6 weeks lockdown.
If you do the surgery, highly recommend not lifting weight or heavy exercises for 6 weeks, it's a delicate surgery and no reason to go through all that pain to not recover properly, it's 6 weeks only of your life to recover then you can do whatever you want in peace from not having that issue anymore
I was eating properly ish before so didn't have to change my diet but you do need to implement some fibre and drink lots of water everyday if you don't want that to happen again.
It's just not diet, going for #2 has to be normal, no straining at all, let the body do the work, no sitting there for 10-20 minutes, if you need to evacuate, do your thing and get out.
And some other little bits the doc will tell you (I hope... I hear a lot of people complaining because they didn't have a lot of info)
I did my surgery in Melbourne and the hospital and the doc were amazing... That helps.
And yes, it's painful but for me, pain was gone in 4-5 days.
To go #2 the first few times is painful as hell, make sure you get painkillers and some other drugs the doc will prescribe.
@@thiagosilva_1984 thanks for your response. I have changed my diet and drink lots of water. Glad you didnt have to go on a liquid diet. The surgeon i just saw reccomend i still eat normally.
The surgeon i am seeing is using a ligasure energy device to cut out haemorroids. So no stitches. Supposedly smaller wound, quicker recovery and less pain. The dr thinks a huge majority of his patients have tolerable pain and they go back to work in a week. Is this too good to be true? Or is he lying to me about the pain level? He thinks only a small amount of his patients complain about severe pain.
The dr i saq was a man of a few words and seems to think it will be a smooth operation, as in i wont need to see him befoe the 1 month checkup. I am worried he wont give me much info after, but maybe its because he is confident the operation will be a success and not painful. He also thinks i can return to work in a week, which is too good to be true. The good thing is he wants me to stay in the hospital until my first bowl movement, so i guess i will have support while im at my worst.
I remember in your video you said you had a colonoscopy. Was it in the same operation or was it a seperate procedure? The dr i saw wants to do them in 2 seperate procedures which is annoying.
I am in australia as well, and am thinking of flying to another state to get a second opinion about the ligasure. If i get the same feedback from the interstate doctor i will stick with the doctor in my state. He is not a c0lorectal surgeon but highly educated and respected. I hope its true what he said about the ligasure operation to be not as painful
@@Yalbou cool, Australia is good, I'm also here :)
Yeah, go back to work in a week or two is ok, just doing heavy exercise and lifting weight I recommend not but I'm a bartender, not a doctor. You do what you feel, hear and understand your body, go easy...
Again, for me, I had an annoying amount of pain for the first 3 times that I had to poop, but then it was ok, I hear a lot of people complaining about this surgery but they got in the USA and things there are horrible anyway.
Have you done the surgery already?
I did the colonoscopy on that same day, went to "sleep" and woke up in my room after the colonoscopy and the surgery.
How are you feeling now after 3 years?
I just got me external haemorrhoids and I can say it has not been the most pleasant of experiences this is day 2 post op and it feels like the pain is becoming worse as the days go by. I'm relating to most of what's the guy says in the video except i haven't poopd yet cause I'm scared mostly of the pain that might come but so far it's been okay
@@olavidamaseb4124 I popped on my second day or third, don't remember much and yes, as I said in the video, there no sugar coating, it's gonna hurt but have in mind, you gotta do it eventually. Just try to prepare beforehand, make sure you can jump in a shower straight away after pooping, take all the painkillers you can (prescribed and in moderation of course) 10-15 minutes before
Straight to shower and warm/hot water there
But there's nothing much that can be done, it's gonna hurt, but the worst is gone, you did the surgery
When did you started feeling "normal"? Like at what week?
From week 2-3 I was feeling normal, a little bleeding but ok
Did you have any fissure issues?
When were you able to drive again after surgery?
You can go back to normal basics fee days after, the more you rest and look after the better but just sitting normal and driving and walking, few days after
Hey Thiago, Thank you so much for making this video. I'm considering having the surgery, and it is very helpful to find people with positive results, it gives me hope about having the surgery. Did you find that as a result of the having the surgery, it caused leakage? If so did the leakage resolve after healing up? Thanks in advance...
Over a year after and after I poop, have a shower, clean properly, like 10-20 minutes after, some poop still there but nothing that goes out on the underwear or anything like that... Imagine just like a cream tube when you press the cream and some little bit more keeps getting released from the tube.
I just wipe again with some butt wipes and it's fine.
Rather do that than live like I was before the surgery.
Also, it depends on how long you've been having this issue, how big it is... Lots of factors matter.
Thank you so much... I am not having many issues other than having to manually push them back in after a poop, no pain or bleeding or leakage. It a hassle having to push back in after every poop, that's all. That's why I was considering having the surgery... Did you have leakage before the surgery?
@@jamesmartinez6266 mine was a big issue, I used to bleed a lot almost every single day.
Not one single blood drop or signs of haemorrhoids back after the surgery
Thiago, I am so sorry... I am glad that having the surgery helped you... I have 2, grade 3 interior hemorrhoids, like yours, I guess I am lucky they don't bleed or cause any pain. They did bleed in the past, but haven't for 5 years or so. I just have to push them back in. Thank you so much for getting back to me. So thankful you are a good person and like to help people.
@@jamesmartinez6266 go for it man, I highly recommend. If I knew this was the outcome, I would've done way earlier
As am watching this video
Am going to some pains but now it’s gonna okay as compared to the first week. Because today is my 15th day after my hermorriodectomy. But am getting better day by day. But to be honest it’s very very painful. It’s like hell am not trying to scared anyone. But it’s worth. Any the funny thing is I got Constipated for like 10 goods days and I can’t even fart 💨. Had to take pain meds. Sitz bath will be your best ever friend. Alhamdulillah am getting better day by day
Every body reacts differently but in the end, it will be worth it. Hang in there brother, it's a life changing surgery.
I feel your pain
Brother.. after surgery how long or how many times did u bleed?
You never mentioned sitz bathing after surgery.
Why wasn't it recommended by the doctor?
Hello! I am having my hemorrhoidectomy this coming wednesday at the surgery center by my house. My dr is giving me local anesthesia. I am supposed to do an enema the morning of the procedure. My dr is prescribing me a narcotic and not sure if anything else. he mentioned about the sitz baths. I need to take 3 or more warm baths a day. I got some baby wipes and diaper cream for after i use the bathroom and when I change the gauze that will be in butt crack. I only have one hemorrhoid thats getting removed and my dr said I should be able to go back to work in a week. the paper does mention getting a fever and chills that night of the surgery. It says its common with rectal surgery. but if it continues into the next day I need to call my dr. he did mention that there will be blood.

Were you iron deficient anemic prior to the surgery because of bleeding hemorrhoids and if so did your anemia go away after the surgery?
I never got to that point, my haemorrhoids used to bleed almost every night when I finished my movements but it was a small amount. Iron or anemia was never an issue. I heard of some cases where the bleeding was more severe and those things happened but it wasn't my case.
Yeah, unfortunately thats what is happening in my case. I am getting ready to have the hemorectomy on February 11th. I'm just a little nervous though. I'm ready to stop the bleeding though so I will no longer be iron deficient anemic. The surgeon told me that that is most likely the cause of my anemia. Plus I can't wait to get it over with and feel normal again.
Did u ever pass blood clots at all after a bowel movement?? With the hemorrhoids?
@@enriquevaldez2259 oh yeah, before the surgery it was all blood cloths and a bit used to drip in the vase.
And yes, I'm not gonna lie to you,.it's gonna hurt and it's gonna be an annoying recover but hang in there cause it will be worth it, so worthy... I'm legitimately so happy about going for #2, I even enjoy cause I know it's normal. But yeah, be strong, the first couple of weeks will be annoying. Have your painkillers around, if you have a bathtub, stay there for hours, if you can, have 2 weeks off work and dont do anything. Just go for walks every now and then but stay inside, just recovering. And if you can, if you really can, stay 6 weeks without doing anything
@@enriquevaldez2259 good luck!! I just had mine done 8 hours ago. Numbing is wearing off. I think I feel pressure there. Been watching different videos here and I’m so scared now.
I can't imagine eating anything for days after that surgery. Extended water fssting sounds like the thing to do for least pain.
were you prescribed stool softeners?
No... Just the antibiotic today also helped with the pain
Please make more vedio on your post haemmrhoidctomy experience. How you are now
Do you remember how long you took pain medications ? Pls answer this .
I'm on my 14 day after surgery. Still feeling pain while passing stool and after that too..
Actually I avoid taking pain medications because of its maybe side effects on my kidneys or other .. that why I have to endure pain...
But when I take pain medicine the lower area didn't feel pain ..
But how long this will to continue I wonder .pls Answer which I asked from you.
Thnkyou
how are you doing
how are you doing
For piles laser surgery is better or open surgery is better
Go for laser, post op recovery is easier to bear
Hi thaigo what i wana know is it actually very painful or manageable pain.
@Nacash Latif mate, it's a painful aftermath, more when you have to evacuate. The first few times will be hell, manageable tho, get some painkillers before going to poop and stay in the bath tub or with the shower head throwing water at your butt.
But it's totally amazing to be able to be normal in that category once it heals.
Thanks for the reply man also are you ok to move around on your own the 1st 3 days stright after the oppration also what type of pain is, is just like uncomfortable or throbbing pain. Thanks
@@nacashlatif9411 first few days it will be weird, I was lucky to be in lockdown for 6 weeks anyway so all I did was looking after, eating easy food for the first 2 weeks and playing videogames. Bought those donuts to sit on the chair (reclining chair) and it was all good
Hi again You mentioned that yours was a open surgery what do you mean by this
@@nacashlatif9411 he cut it out both and didn't have any stitches.
Did you have an external or internal hemmorid?
i think you underwent general anesthesia thats why you dont have problem peeing..while iin other hand spine anesthesia one of complication is urine retention
Yeah, definitely I was under general Anesthesia, I slept when the nurse was just talking to me and woke up in the hospital bed night time.
Mine was spinal anesthesia I was scared because the nurse told me if I dont pee lots they will cathether me. The pain reliever they give me after surgery complicates on my part because I was vomiting. They stop it after 2nd dose. At first I pee a little to none then they give me a warmer to put on my bladder. Thanks to that I pee alot.
@@arvsnacs422 sorry to hear, I really am. This surgery is not fun
How was the urine retention @Arvs Nacs @boo sally? I'm Day 9 post op (spinal anaes) now. Sadly I had urine retention and was catheterised on D3 post-op. They drained 1.4 L out. Turns out I've overstretched my bladder and now they kept the urine catheter for 11 days to rehabilitate my bladder. I'm so dreadful whether I'll be able to pee myself when it's time to off the catheter...any tips to overcome urine retention??
Also, question for everybody, in which country did you get your surgery?
Tokyo, Japan
Did the painkillers cause constipation?
It didn't.
@@thiagosilva_1984 ok great... you said the surgeon left the stitches open for them to heal better? Is there a name for that technique so I may talk to my doctor about it
@@sheldonhinds4923 sorry mate, he just said no stitches, don't know if there's a name for it or if it's normal.
@@thiagosilva_1984ok cool... thx brother I appreciate your response
@@sheldonhinds4923 if it's something that really affects your lifestyle, go for the surgery man, unfortunately can't guarantee will be a "piece of cake" like mine was, I was one of the lucky ones in comparison to a lot of videos put there.
Where you located if I may ask?
Just prepare the house beforehand, get some new games, get a donut cushion to sit on, get some painkillers and try to (if you can of course, life is hard on that matter) to get a couple of weeks of from work, the more you chill and look after the better, after 2 weeks anyway they say you can go back to work (not gym or anything hard, take it easy for the first 6 weeks)
Don’t know if normal. It is 5 days completed since my surgery. But I poop only bits and pieces that too with pain and some bleeding. Is this normal ?
Every body will react different. Just keep eating fibre and drinking a lot of water, the bleeding will stay for a couple of weeks, just buy those pads so you don't get your underwear dirty all the time
I'll be having hemorrhoidectomy in this coming week.
Im Really2 scared right now + I have stomach ulcer too...
My doc says it is ģrade 4. Should I be scared sir?
Doesn't matter the grade, it's gonna hurt. Not the surgery itself but the after.
Everybody reacts in a different way, I don't know if the ulcer will aggravate the issue or not.
One thing that helped me was my doc "hyping" me saying that's gonna be super annoying and painful. When it wasn't as bad as I thought (in my case) I was more relaxing.
Make sure you have everything at home sorted. Grab some ointment, grab a "donut" cushion, some pain medicine (besides the one that they will prescribe to you) and just be strong, the pain will be over, one day or the other but in the end it's worth it.
If you play videogames, buy a nice one, watch lots of tv, watch videos about it on UA-cam, that helped me a lot as well. Seeing people going through the same thing it calms you down a bit.
It's painful but you will be alright.
Lots of hot showers throwing warm water straight there
And try to stick, for the first week, to easy food.
Soups, smoothies, crackers and lots of water.
And if you think you have to go poop, just go, don't hold it, you have to go anyway, might as well just rip that band aid.
How old are you? Will someone be at home with you? Do you need to go back to work?
Any suggestions for why I’m getting random anal spasms in which my rectum clenches uncontrollably hard and of course causes extreme pain?
Typically happens after I urinate (relax the sphincter) and then the body wants to lock it back up and it does this so aggressively and it hurts so bad. I haven’t slept a single minute in over 30 hours now.
Unfortunately my friend that would be something to discuss with a doctor, I'm just a Barman that had the surgery as well :(
Wish I could help you there tho, really do...
If it helps, I didn't sleep properly as well for the first day or so.
I say try to stay chill at home not doing anything for the first week, regular showers just to throw warm/hot water on it, take some painkillers all day.... Get some haemorrhoids cream.
Does this still happen to you? How often did it happen?
@@gkmcjose4494 Does not happen any more. I read it's due to the trauma from the surgery on the muscles down there, its all due to stress on the muscles which causes them to clench, especially during/immediately after urination in which you must relax that area to urinate. Does not happen at all any more. It happened quite frequently during the first 2 months I would say. That was the worst. For me at least, the slightest sensation, like a leg itch or someone spooking me would cause this clenching. Currently, I would say i'm 95% recovered. No more spasms, just very small swelling in that area still after bowel movements. Goes away very quick and not much of an issue, but still an issue.
@@Corbytender1 omg I’m so happy to know that! I get those spasms too often when trying to move quickly and urinate or just randomly. But I’m glad it’s just trauma, I kinda knew it was trauma because I could still control my anus muscle but I thought it wasn’t normal until I read your comment. Thank you for the information. Cant wait to heal. I’m glad you’re doing fine! 🙏🏼
@@gkmcjose4494 Yep that’s all it is! Really nothing you can do about it though, soaking in a warm bath (as warm as you can stand) helps relax that area though so maybe try that a few times a day. Definitely a horrible procedure with lots of struggle but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Take it day by day, you’ll get there!
Iam about to do the surgery.
After how many weeks iy will become normal life?
how was it?
what kind of hemorrhoids procedure had you had, nromal method or pph staple?
Well my was 4 grade, I had 2 big piles and other small ones...Doctor said he will use on 2 big piles haemorrhoidectomy and small ones with laser>> So now post op I got 1 month, ussally I dont feel any pain, just pain in toilet pushing and after maybe some 3-5h...so take some pills...Also still got some blood, yellow thinks... Probably for me will take longer to recover.
Me too, grade 4. Both were removed with a scalpel. I'm 10 days post-op. It's quite uncomfortable, but I'm no longer constantly needing pain meds. It seems as though I live in the bathtub to ease the pain (better than drugs, no negativeside effects). It's hopeful to hear that at one month post-op, life can be pretty normal. Thank you
@ryanlalonde-py1bb thank you for asking. I'm doing great! At 3 weeks, I'd say I'm 80% healed, but I feel 150% better than I did before surgery. Truly, I feel like I got my life back. Freedom!

No stitches, had a gauze up there till the first time o went pooping.
It was next day only or two days after, don't remember
Ah and it will hurt when you go pooping, nothinguch you can do about that, after all it was a surgery right there
You can minimise by taking some painkillers little bit before you go and again as soon as you can and don't try to clean it with paper or anything, poop and jump straight on a shower and let hot water (not super hot obviously) hit the region or of you have a bath, have a bath after cleaning in the shower, lay there on hot water

I had massive (normal for the surgery as it is) pain in the first 3 poopy times but then it was way easier than I thought, again, I was intercalating pain killers
Don't recollect having that problem but after surgery if you keep a good diet, lots of fibre, lots of water and not straining, it shouldn't be an issue

I have some other personal questions but i guess i better not ask them. But these questions will help a lot . Thanks Thiago
@@freshlove7926 I know there wasn't any stitches so I'm gonna guess open? If that's what you meaning with open or closed.
No skin tags but heard they do go away.
Follow me on Instagram @thifrigene and send e some questions there if you want

e aí BLZ vi que vc é brasileiro qual foi tipo de cirurgia vc fez foi o método tradicional por corte no bisturi ou foi PPH com auele aparelho que grampea ?ha e como vc esta agora teve astenose ?
I’m going through this surgery next week. Is there anything I can do to prepare now to help for postop
Alright my friend. I got lucky that the day of my surgery was also the first day of 6 weeks lockdown in Melbourne.
The more days off you can have after surgery the better.
Mate, make sure you are stocked with painkillers, if you can find a nice haemorrhoids cushion/pillow thing, that helps.
And for the first week or two, try to eat liquids n fiber, lots of soups n smoothies with fiber stuff.
For the evacuation, take some painkillers and the antibiotics the doctor might prescribe like 10-15 before
Now... For the first times (going to the bathroom) there's nothing much you can do, it's gonna hurt, unfortunately there's no sugarcoating. But take the painkiller before and straight away after evacuating, straight to the shower and try to let warm/hot water running in that region.
Be strong for that pain in the beginning, remember that's worth it and when it's done, you won't regret, best thing I did, wish I've done it earlier
Good luck

The pain bro the pain when you poo is like Goin to war
War betwen you and poo lol
Man im on week 9 and still in pain.
It's hard man, every body reacts differently,every surgery is different, every doctors approach is different. Wish I could help
@@thiagosilva_1984 yeah my dr said it’s because I have suffered from it for a long time. Its been 13 years for me man
@@IamPali2024 do u see some blood after poops..? I m on week 4.no pain but i see some blood with my stool. sometimes it bleeds 1 to 3 drops. Did you feel like that in your case...
@@IamPali2024 hello how are you now still have pain?how long time full recovery take for you?
@@lior2551 Hello, for me recovery took a little over 6 months. Yes that long, but again that was due to the fact that I didn’t do anything about hemorrhoids for 11 years in addition to a chronic fissure. The worst part for me was the pain after surgery. That being said, I promise you its all worth it.
Panadol - Acetaminophen/Tylenol; Biprofane - Ibuprofen/Advil.
did you take pain killers and how long? thank you.
Solid for 2 weeks if I remember correctly. Was intercalating them every 2 hours a different one for the first few days, getting ahead of the pain before it actually striked. But remember to drink a lot of water and lots of fibre. First week just "white" food
You didn't feel pain because you took only soup and smoothies for a week after surgery
Hope everything is ok now and Blah Blah Blah 🤣
Damn bro 3weeks?
Im 1month 5days and still painful to poop..
Have you healed now?
How long did it take to reach no pain?
2 and a half months for me
@@klyptodog1041 Thank you for the quick response. In that 2 and a half months, how long did it take for you to return to normal activity (like work)? Could you walk around like normal? Would it bleed randomly? Basically what was the experience like 😅
@zee4125 i actually had an interview to work at an IT job and went in on my medications haha. Pain wise, after the 2 months, it was very minimal, and my life went back to normal 2 months and a half with no pain and honestly the best decision of my life to get the surgery. It's definitely a confusing and somewhat challenging recovery but grateful of the outcome.
Bleeding stopped some time during the 2 weeks, but the pain remained until it healed better. The most painful or annoying part of it is definitely the little uncontrollable spasms you get back there but ive hesrd that not everyone gets them.
Walking around was fine, not painful realy just uncomfortable. Encouraged to walk if you can.
Mainly spent my time laying face down on my bed playing Resident evil 😈
Congratulations sir
