Hemorrhoidectomy 24 years old Female

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello everyone,

Want to write this to share experience and concerns

Day 1: Pain 10/10 Surgery day, had local anesthesia, everything was good until night fell and the effects were gone, had some medicine but didnt do any effect, worst part was when Doctor removed the "tampon" i had back there... since i was unable to sleep, i had an intramuscular injection.

Day 2: Pain 8/10 Pain was sever again but started a softer intramuscular injection which would have to be applied every 12 hours, after this all good.

Day 3: Pain 4/10, not too much pain yet i felt nauseas and stomachache. First BM, was painful because it had been 11 hours since injection for pain (bad luck).

Day 4: Pain 1/10, still nauseas, had doctor appointment, they intravenously hydrated me which helped with nauseas and headache and also advised me to take oxy and sumigran

Day 5: Pain 0/10, stomach was way too swollen and had a small red rash on my face, called Doctor and was advised to stop all medication (even antibiotic)

Day 6: Pain 0/10, was able to have BM without problem (some discomfort after but no bid deal), had one pain pill in the morning

Day 7: Pain 0/10, didnt have any medication for pain, able to have BM just fine

Day 8: Same as day 7

Day 9: Pain 3/10, had some pain after 7pm so took pain pill, besides this all good

That has been my experience so far, stiz bath twice a day, eating high fiber diet (solids since day 2)

Concerns:

I notice I still have something down there... like a small hemorrhoid... not sure if its just my skin swollen or what... tomorrow i have an appointment and will check.

Hope ths helps and if you share a concern like mine, let me know

    Hi, how many did you have removed, internal or external? Like you I haven't experienced much pain, only after BM and still do, but it is getting better. You can read my thread down below as I also have 2 lumps, looks like prolapsed hemmies, but as almost everyone in here has stated it is pretty common and takes time to go away. One of the lumps I have is somewhat painful, never had skin tags but this one looks like it's going to leave me with one, the "tip" of the lump is tender and I've noticed that they swell after BM, but in general they're getting smaller. Called my clinic last week to extend my sick leave and asked about the lumps but they didn't take no notice of it so prolly pretty common. Surgeon just said after the OP that I should contact them if I had any further issues after 6 weeks. Now post-op 13 days.

      Thank you so much for your words, calms my anxiety to hear that it is common to have that weird lump and that it will get smaller in time.

      I had 2 external and 1 prolapsed internal removed 😐 surgery was very necessary for me.

      I had 10 days medical leave, meaning i will be returning to work tomorrow, lets see how i feel, makes me nervous to sit for 8 hrs.
