A week and 2 days after my hemorrhoidectomy (cut off)
Posted , 4 users are following.
40 years old and had hemorrhoids surgery. I was schedule for rubber band procedure but my doctor opt to the cut off since they were too big (eternal and internal). I had try other options before opting for surgery such as drinking/eating fiber and not getting constipated. nothing worked. So opt for surgery. It has been the worst pain ever. I had a bowel movement on my third day-the worst pain ever-even passed out. the second day I had a bm and it as even worst. I got better the fourth day-walked- but then went downhill. The pain got worst and started getting pains in my lower back and the bone at the end does not allow me to sit well. I have three children and never felt such pain. I Have high tolerance for pain but this pain is awful. Oh caught a 102 fever after a week for two days and the pain medication that they prescribe for me was only good for 2 days. Ibuprofen (600mg) every 6 hours was my friend. I walked when my pain was not bad, shower 4-6 times a day cause even farting was bad and I had mucous and stool on my anus. Sitz bath with epsom salt was great. my behind felt like i fell and hit my bum every day. I was week and not still dont feel like myself. im afraid to even go out for a long period of time.
worst pain of my life. would i recommend the surgery...right now because i am in so much pain no. maybe as my pain goes away I can say yes. I cant even sit for a long time without pain. i was to take a week off from work but took 3 weeks due to pain when sitting and have to run to the bathroom because I cant hold my bm. Anyone didnt feel great after a week after op? My family didnt understand the gravity of my pain and my doctor lie about the pain and the recovery does not seem to be the same for me. i have an appt this coming tuesday and will try to write what he states.

First of all dont feel bad about your family not understanding, this is the kinda of thing that u have to experience to understand . SECONDLY healing is long, not only the emotional but the physical as well and even when u feel better, u are still a bit apprehensive about going out, always feeling like u need to be next to your bathroom. Just remember to keep having the bowl movements taking the Miralax or whatever u take to keep it soft, what u dont want is scar tissue, and to develop anal stenosis, then have to have a second surgery to correct that! Do what makes u feel better take your pain meds dont do anything that makes u uncomfortable and stay positive. God is always in control, Praying for u!

I just wanted to update others. After 4 weeks of surgery everything is wonderful. Although at first I regret getting the surgery, everything as of now is well and I have no hemrrhoids coming out. I do have a skin tag that my surgeon said he can remove bug I'm leaving it alone for now since it doesn't bother me. I just do not want any pain down there. Overall, my surgeon was great and the first two weeks was the worst. But I know feel great using the bathroom.
