Hemmorhoid Banding

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi all,

This morning just had hemmorhoid banding on I think 3 maybe 2 small hemmorhoids. The surgeon said I definitely only had grade 1 as they were very small and I never bled from them, they just gave me discomfort from time to time and wanted to get it dealt with. Currently no pain but a feeling of pressure in my lower bowel,  the feeling of that there’s trapped gas or something there. I’m really hoping this eliminates my problem as I’m only at a young age of 23 and my condition was very minor. Has anyone had a successful experience with this procedure? Would love the reassurance! smile

    You should be fine in couple of days...Any reason you did not went for laser procedure instead.

    I have been to many forums though banding is successful in majority of cases, they consider laser removal better/advanced procedure.

      Hi tej0001,

      Banding was basically the only option put forward to me. The pressure is feeling a lot better now and I’ve pretty much resumed to normal activity which is good! I’m hoping the banding is successful as I had a very mild case. I’ve only ever heard of banding or sclerotherapy I hadn’t heard of laser treatments so that’s interesting!

      Hi Jake,

      So has the banding worked for you ? Cause I had it done over 3 months ago and I feel worse now. My hemorrhoids were not that bad , but like you I thought of doing something about it and now I regret it. I will be going again to get the banding done a second time and hope that it does help me this time.
