Devastated over results of Hemorrhoidectomy (pics included)

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi everyone. I recently had a Hemorrhoidectomy 10 days ago. I am absolutely devastated by the results. Every time I look I just want to cry. One of the biggest reasons I did this surgery is because the appearance of my hemorrhoids made me self conscious. I know I’m only 10 days post op so not fully healed, but I truely can not see this healing into a “normal” butthole. I’m so upset over this. sad  can anyone tell me if this is how there’s looked after? And if it did did, how did it look after it fully healed? I feel like my surgeon messed something up.

Hopefully the pictures work, if not I’ll try to post them in the comments...

    Dude, this may not work for everyone, but it certainly worked for me. This process is a little painful, but it works. Scrub the daylights with a wash cloth soaked in Dawn dishwashing soap Antibacterial. Do it twice a day. ......, I had them for 20 years and absolutely nothing OTC or prescription worked like this. Good luck

    You have only had the operation and everything still has to heal.

    How many people see your 'butthole' ?

    I would have thought the importance thing should be that you do not have them any more,

    Hello,

    I'm the same 14 days post hemmoriodectomy. I had 3 internal hemmoriods removed which every now and again, prolasped but the majority of the time they were inside and no problem. So I had the surgery and I've come out with 2 lumps on the outside of the bum, belived it to be swelling, but doctor told me to treat them like an external pile and that one will definitely form into a skin tag. So I've been a little disheartened by the surgery however no great pain or real problems just the aftermath. Reading someones reply to your post gives me hope that theirs cleared in a month or two.

      Just remember to take your stool softener and not not strain when you have a BM. I took a shower after my BM then changed it to baths.

      Drink lots of water.
