Hemorrhoidectomy
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had my surgery on Wednesday 4th April I had internal haemorrhoids and three polyps that was also going to be removed I had to be put under general anaesthetic as one of the polyp was to close to the rectum, anyway had the pre op consultation the week before and was told what the procedure would be and that would need at least two weeks to recover and that I would be held in recovery for at least minimum of 4 hours and I wouldn’t release to I had passed urine, when I met with the surgeon on the day of the op he told me that he would be doing a hemorrhoidectomy and that I would need about three weeks off work to recover which is fine, well i had the op was moved back on to the ward after being the threate recovery and coming round from the G A on the ward was taken to the Loo but I wasnt able to pass urine but was being made ready to be discharged ?? Well I was given my discharge letter and some meds which was for pain relief which are paracetamol and ibuprofen and omeprazole ( to reduce my stomach acid ) and some extra dressing but was told I should bleed that much but no stool softener , but it’s not Saturday and I’m still bleeding and it’s seems to be constant congealed and clotty blood also notice that I’ve got two piles outside the rectum now where as they where internal so not sure what’s he’s actually done on the letter that was given and the copy for my gp it says eua of ano-rectum, excision of polyp in anterior wall, ligation haemorrhoidectomy at 3,5,7 o’clock position few pds stitch were placed to appose the anal skin and mucosa now I understand some of that but not all the surgeon never spoke to me afterwards l was discharged at 8pm that Wednesday but didn’t pass urine till 2.30am the bleeding hasn’t eased up and now the haemorrhoids two are external which wasn’t like that before so guess im not sure do I push them back up like I was doing before the op or not ???? and now wearing sanitary towels as I’m bkeeding through the dressing but I’m meant to keep the area clean and dry, how ?? And help pls

Hi Cassius. It's early days yet. Don't go pushing anything up. It may just be swelling from the surgery and may right itself over time. You can bleed on and off for the first couple of weeks but if you're overly concerned about anything go and see your GP for reassurance x

Cassius I still have problems urinating. Some days I can only go when I sit in the sitz bath. It's a right pain coz then I have to empty and clean it and then refill so I can have a bm and I'm 4 weeks post op. I think it's just because of swelling inside. I find it hard to urinate on days where it's hard to have a bm so I presume it's all connected

When I had the operation in October I was not discharge until I could pass urine.
