Has anyone had hemorrhoid surgery?

Yes, surgery removes the hemorrhoids, but does not prevent from re-appearing again. In most cases they eventually come back. I can try Rue Care Oil that not only treat the hemorrhoids but also helps to straighten the veins and can be used for this purpose after the surgery to help hemorrhoids from re-appearing. Try to find out, what's the reason that your hemorrhoids have developed in the first place - constipation, genetical predisposition, liver disease, overweight, pregnancy, too much pressure in the lower part due to heavy lifting, overweight, prolonged sitting. Once you find the reason take proper measures e.g. overweight - lose weight, prolonged sitting - make short breaks, constipation - take care of your bowel movement and make it soft with high fiber diet, drink wheat grass juice, or juice of prune. For genetical predisposition or liver disease contact your doctor.\nIn each case juice of white radish also helps to cure hemorrhoids and/or prevent them from re-appearing.

well if you can't or won't go get them cut off, here are some suggestions...\n\nBest results are often shown when one reverts to nature in foods and habits rather than treatments. There are a number of natural remedies and products available for treating hemorrhoids in the market today. Some are in the form of pills while others are creams or gels. These products are derived from naturally occurring herbs such as butcher’s broom, horse chestnut, bilberry and so on. These herbs work by improving circulation around the anal region, which reduces pain and itching and prevents the piles from reappearing. The mode of treatment usually varies depending upon the cause, severity, and duration of the disease.\n\nSome of the leading drugs in the market include\n\nAvatrol: A natural herbal supplement in a pill form that promotes healthy rectal function and circulation.  \n\nN2 Cream: A potent topical treatment, combining natural astringents and herbal extracts to reduce swelling and itching. The cream is applied 3-5 times daily for proper treatment.  \n\nPreparation H: A popular and inexpensive product, Preparation H is used to treat the symptoms and itching associated with hemmorhoids. It does not improve circulation, or prevent them from recurring.  \n\nHemaron: A natural supplement for hemorrhoids that contains Japanese Pagoda Tree extract, and claims to heal hemorrhoids with an amazing 94% success rate! \n\nVenapro: Acts as a natural anesthetic, by lubricating the sensitive passageways and restoring normal blood flow to the rectal area. Contains natural extracts of Vitamin E, Zinc Oxide, L-Arginine, Horse Chestnut, Oat Straw, Mullein and so on. \n\nRue Care Oil: Rue Care Oil is a blend of natural oils with Rue oil as main ingredient for hemorrhoids treatment. Rue oil derives from Rue medical plant used for centuries for natural health care, treatment and cure of skin problems, itching piles, varicose veins, anal fissure, healing of hemorrhoids and much more. \n\nHemorrhoids No More and Roid relief: Made of organic extracts this highly concentrated formula is used for external application and thrombosed hemorrhoids. It claims to shrink and eliminate hemorrhoids upon application within days without scarring, tissue damage, or invasive surgery. This product can be used to treat and eliminate chronic cases of hemorrhoids or those from a recent diagnosis.\n\nZenMED Cool Relief cream: A natural cream with a combination of astringent and anti-inflammatory herbal extracts, which cools and relieves hemorrhoid pain. \n\n\nMany of these natural drugs be it pills, or lotions contain natural ingredients such as:  \nJapanese Pagoda Tree (Sophora japonica)\nJapanese pagoda tree extract is one of the best herbal supplements for naturally treating hemorrhoids. The extract from this tree has a very high success rate of curing hemorrhoidal symptoms. Since hemorrhoids are mainly caused due to enlarged blood vessels, applying the purified herbal extracts of Japanese pagoda tree helps to normalize the permeability of veins and capillaries, strengthen vein walls, and provide the necessary nutrients to maintain optimal vein health.\n\nHorse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)\nHorse Chestnut has been used to treat various circulation and vein conditions for many centuries now. Studies have shown that this extract has the ability to support vascular circulation, as well as strengthen connective tissues and vein tone.\n\n Butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus)\nButcher's broom is a long-standing natural treatment for hemorrhoids. A natural vasoconstrictor with anti-inflammatory properties, Butcher's broom also helps in strengthening and toning veins. \n\nVitamin E: Free radicals, the cancer causing hazardous waste of the body, can cause cancer. Vitamin E, which is a fat soluble, contains powerful biological antioxidants, which protect our cells from free radicals. \n\nZinc Oxide: One of the biggest problems of hemorrhoids is irritation, itchin

See your doctor ASAP, but some suggestions here:\nMedical treatments\nSome people require the following medical treatments for chronic or severe hemorrhoids:\n\nHemorrhoidolysis/Galvanic Electrotherapy: desiccation of the hemorrhoid by electrical current. \nDilation: stretching of the anal sphincter muscle. Although no longer popular due to potential side effects, this treatment can be successfully applied to select cases of strangulated hemorrhoids. Rarely used anymore. \nRubber band ligation: elastic bands are applied onto an internal hemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. Within several weeks, the withered hemorrhoid is sloughed off during normal bowel movement. \nSclerotherapy (injection therapy): sclerosant or hardening agent is injected into hemorrhoids. This causes the vein walls to collapse and the hemorrhoids to shrivel up. \nCryosurgery: a frozen tip of a cryoprobe is used to destroy hemorrhoidal tissues. Rarely used anymore. \nLaser, infared or BICAP coagulation: laser, infrared beam, or electricity is used to cauterize the affected tissues. Laser is now much less popular. \nHemorrhoidectomy: a true surgical procedure to excise and remove hemorrhoids. \nStapled Hemorrhoidectomy: Also called the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids, it is designed to resect soft tissue proximal to the dentate line, which disrupts the blood flow to the hemorrhoids. It is generally less painful than complete removal of hemorrhoids and also allows for faster recovery times. It's meant for hemorrhoids that fall out or bleed and is not helpful for painful outside conditions. \nFor some people, surgery may be the only treatment option for very severe cases, chronic or resistant cases of hemorrhoids, such as prolapsed, thrombosed, or strangulated hemorrhoids.

I had it a couple of years ago, not as an emergency.  Easy surgery, I was back up and feeling ok in a couple of days.

Morbidity is about 3 per cent? I am guessing? but there is a lot of problems from the surgery. It does not work if you continue to not take care of yourself. you need to watch your diet for protein and vitamins, some people develop colon and small intestine problems.probably per centage of trouble is about 25-30 per cent?maybe higher? maybe  someone knows the real numbers? my wife has had a lot of problems and she had it done in 2002. and has had 2 bowel obstructions.

What are hemorrhoids?\nThe term hemorrhoids refers to a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum are swollen and inflamed. Hemorrhoids may result from straining to move stool. Other contributing factors include pregnancy, aging, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and anal intercourse.\nHemorrhoids are either inside the anus (internal) or under the skin around the anus (external\n\nTreatment?\nMedical treatment of hemorrhoids is aimed initially at relieving symptoms. Measures to reduce symptoms include\ntub baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes\napplication of a hemorroidal cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time\nPreventing the recurrence of hemorrhoids will require relieving the pressure and straining of constipation. Doctors will often recommend increasing fiber and fluids in the diet. Eating the right amount of fiber and drinking six to eight glasses of fluid (not alcohol) result in softer, bulkier stools. A softer stool makes emptying the bowels easier and lessens the pressure on hemorrhoids caused by straining. Eliminating straining also helps prevent the hemorrhoids from protruding.\nGood sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In addition, doctors may suggest a bulk stool softener or a fiber supplement such as psyllium (Metamucil) or methylcellulose (Citrucel).\n\nIn some cases, hemorrhoids must be treated endoscopically or surgically. These methods are used to shrink and destroy the hemorrhoidal tissue. The doctor will perform the procedure during an office or hospital visit.\nA number of methods may be used to remove or reduce the size of internal hemorrhoids. These techniques include\nRubber band ligation. A rubber band is placed around the base of the hemorrhoid inside the rectum. The band cuts off circulation, and the hemorrhoid withers away within a few days.\nSclerotherapy. A chemical solution is injected around the blood vessel to shrink the hemorrhoid. \nInfrared coagulation. A special device is used to burn hemorrhoidal tissue.\nHemorrhoidectomy. Occasionally, extensive or severe internal or external hemorrhoids may require removal by surgery known as hemorrhoidectomy. \n\nPrevention?\n\nThe best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and straining, and to empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs. Exercise, including walking, and increased fiber in the diet help reduce constipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.

I had one September of last year. Unfortunately, part of mine died away. Apparently, that doesn't happen often. Up until that point it was looking pretty good and after the recovery of the surgery there wasn't any pain associated with it. I just had the Dorsi flap reconstruction (from the back) though and since then I have limited movement, muscle aches and spasms. Feel free to email me for specific questions.

yes it is, there are several good hemorrhoid medicines over the counter.. if the swelling, and itching or bleeding continues you may have to see a doctor but i have had them real bad and this medicine does help.. may take a few day or almost a week but it will help.. someday if they you get numerious hemorrhoids the doctof may want to remove them..that is a simple surgery and can be done while having a colonoscopy...i hope this information helps you.. you may want to use more fiber or a stool loosener to help you have easier bowel movements and less straining...

There is not a lot of info out there regarding what can happen after surgery.  You might search out a doctor who is comfortable talking about these issues.  Here is some info I found:\n\nAnal sex shouldn't hurt. Having hemorrhoids can make anal sex painful. People who find anal sex painful often do not use enough water-based lube; others are not relaxed or aroused enough. Using lots of lube — which makes anal (and vaginal) sex more slippery and wet — can increase pleasure for both you and your partner. Relaxation will also minimize or prevent the possibility of tearing the thin lining of the rectum, and make insertion easier and more comfortable. Some people relax by taking a warm bath; others begin with a massage, starting with the butt and inner thighs, then gently playing in and around the anal sphincter with a finger. As the sensations become more comfortable and pleasurable, some people experiment by placing more fingers inside the anus. Others might progress to a small sex toy, or be ready to be penetrated by a larger toy, or even a penis. Communication with your partner about what feels good and how you want to be touched is essential for enjoyable anal play.\n\nAlthough you can have anal sex when you have hemorrhoids, it's better to wait until they've healed. Friction and pressure from penetration can cause further irritation, discomfort, and pain. In addition, hemorrhoids that bleed may place you at increased risk for HIV infection, since the HIV virus can be transmitted more easily through an open "cut" or "wound." Whenever you have anal sex — if you have hemorrhoids or not — it's safer to use condoms and lube if you don't know your partner's HIV status.  http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1925.html?CFID=277115&CFTOKEN=97076474\nI am a woman who recently experienced my first hemorrhoids. They were painful, revolting and extremely embarrassing. Sitting in the stirrups while my doctor treated them was humiliating enough -- I couldn't bear to ask her this question: how long should I wait before I have anal sex? PAIN IN THE... \n\nAgain with the ass and me calling doctors! The Hassle Free Clinic says you can proceed with anal sex "when you feel comfortable," but use plenty of lube and take it slow. \n\nSome invasive surgery in the genital/anal area takes about six weeks to heal completely, but a hemorrhoidectomy, according to Heidi at Dr. Stubbs' office, may take only a week, depending on the severity of your condition and whether the procedure is done at a hospital or clinic. Looks like you'll be riding that red-eye flight again in no time. \nPick up a copy of the book Anal Pleasure and Health, by Jack Morin. Morin offers a seven-step program on hemorrhoid self-healing -- in case you have to deal with this again. http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_05.17.01/columns/lovebites.html

What are hemorrhoids?\n\nHemorrhoids are enlarged veins that develop in the anal canal. Although uncomfortable at times, this common condition rarely poses a serious problem.\n\nNormally, tissue surrounding the inside of the anus, sometimes called "anal cushions," fills with blood to help control bowel movements. Hemorrhoids develop when excessive pressure or other factors cause the veins within these cushions to swell and stretch.\n\nNearly everyone has hemorrhoids at some time. They can develop at any age, but the incidence increases after age 30. About 50% of people older than 50 have had hemorrhoids at some time in their life.\nWhat causes hemorrhoids?\n\nExcessive pressure on the veins in the pelvic and rectal area causes hemorrhoids. As pressure increases, blood pools in veins and causes them to swell, stretching the surrounding tissue and forming hemorrhoids. Increased pressure can come from rushing to complete a bowel movement or from constipation or persistent diarrhea, if either causes too much straining during bowel movements. \n\nBeing overweight also can contribute to developing hemorrhoids.\n\nPregnant women frequently develop hemorrhoids during the last 6 months of pregnancy because of increased pressure on the blood vessels in the pelvic area. Straining to push the baby out during labor can also cause hemorrhoids. \n\nWhat are the types of hemorrhoids?\n\nHemorrhoids can develop inside the anal canal (internal hemorrhoids) or near the anal opening (external hemorrhoids). Both types can occur at the same time. The symptoms, progression, and treatment differ depending on where hemorrhoids develop.\n\nInternal hemorrhoids have four degrees of severity. Bleeding may occur with any of these.\n\nFirst degree: The hemorrhoid does not protrude from the anus. \nSecond degree: The hemorrhoid protrudes from the anus during a bowel movement but returns to the anal canal afterward. \nThird degree: The hemorrhoid protrudes from the anus during a bowel movement, but you can push it inside the anus with your finger. \nFourth degree: The hemorrhoid is always outside the anus and cannot be pushed into the anal canal. \nWhat are the symptoms?\n\nExternal hemorrhoids: External hemorrhoids can cause itching, burning, and irritation. You might notice streaks of bright red blood on toilet paper after straining to have a bowel movement, and it may be difficult to clean the anal area. \nInternal hemorrhoids: Rectal bleeding is the most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids. You may notice bright red streaks of blood on toilet paper or bright red blood in the toilet bowl after having a normal bowel movement. You may see blood on the surface of the stool. Internal hemorrhoids can range from small, swollen veins in the wall of the anal canal to large, sagging veins and tissue that bulge out of the anus all the time. Internal hemorrhoids can be painful if they protrude all the time and are squeezed by the anal muscles or if they are clotted (thrombosed). You also may see mucus on stool or toilet tissue from hemorrhoids that protrude. \nHow are hemorrhoids diagnosed?\n\nThe diagnosis of hemorrhoids is based on a medical history and physical exam, which help a health professional identify the type of hemorrhoid—external or internal—and determine the appropriate treatment.\n\nIf a health professional thinks that hemorrhoids are the obvious cause of rectal bleeding in a person younger than age 50, an examination with a gloved finger (digital rectal exam) or a short lighted scope (anoscopy) are the only tests needed for an initial evaluation.\n\nIf you are older than 50, or if anoscopy does not provide a clear diagnosis, your health professional may use a flexible sigmoidoscope to look at the lower third of the colon or a colonoscope to examine the entire colon to check for other possible causes of bleeding.\n\nHow are hemorrhoids treated?\n\nHome treatment is recommended for most external hemorrhoids. Treatment includes sitting

You poor thing! LOL  Sorry, but I think you are getting all upset over nothing.  (but a hemorrhoid :))  Get some ointment for hemorrhoids that you can by over the counter at Wal-Mart or anywhere.  It is not expensive and will solve your problem quickly.  Don't worry so much, hon, it will be okay. :)

O.k this is going to sound gross, I once used this excuse to get out of work, I called my boss and told her my hemorrhoids were bleeding, she was speechless, I have never had hemmorhoids but needed a really good excuse, and that one worked well.

It is not inevitable, but is quite common, due to higher pressure put of the veins in the abdominal area. For the same reason many pregnant women get varicose veins on the legs.\n\nIt would be good you treat your hemorrhoids while they are small and not let them grow. Remember, the bigger they are, more painful they are!

Give 'em some time. Let them work out their differences.  Rocking so hard can cause hemorrhoids, maybe they needs some time to recover from anal surgery. Just relax.  If you love something set it free if it stays gone it was never meant to be if it returns then you're in the best of hands!

My 19 year old son had the procedure last month.\nHe was a bit sore for a couple of days, but nothing more. He was back to his normal busy self within a few days. The procedure took about 2 hours from beginning to end, and he was sedated enough that he fell asleep. best thing we ever did!!
