Underwent the THD/ HAL-RAR procedure about 7 weeks ago and now the hemorrhoids are still swollen whenever I have a BM. it doesn't stay swollen for a long time and compared to before it goes back in after a while but its noticeable and causes some discomfort. The THD was done with just stitches and no laser coagulation. seems like blood still flows into the tied up hemorrhoids. Has anyone else who has undergone this procedure experienced this?

    I have had the same procedure but I am only 3 weeks post operation. I am not experiencing yet what you are saying, although I have developed a small bump externally that is stinging sometimes. I'll get my surgeon to check it out on follow up. I don't think this surgery promises that we will have perfect rectums, but hopefully it does make life comfortable and manageable without causing the more serious issues that the operation of yesteryear did. Good luck with your healing. Did you seek professional advice from your doctor? I hope you are doing better now anyway. It takes 3 months for the full results of this procedure to show themselves.
