Hemorrhoids back just 1 week after banding

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hey guys,

I've had a banding session exactly a week ago and just after I had a BM last hour, I noticed an haemorrhoid has returned.. Could anyone advise me if this is something common to happen? I am a bit worried because of this. Especially considering my BM wasnt too bad during the week.

    I feel your pain. I had a ligation 3 days ago and I feel like my hemorrhoids are getting worse instead of better. However, I was told that it takes 2 months for the wounds to completely heal and to feel the benefits. I would wait at least a couple of weeks before start worrying.

    All the best and let me know how it goes.

      Thanks for your reply! Hopefully you will recover well.

      Feels really bad indeed as initially they were gone. Thought the pain was worth it but now I am quite disappointed. I have to return in 6 weeks, though. maybe more luck the second time.
