Hi everyone,
I'm 25 years old and had been living with stage II internal hemorrhoids for about 4 years now, and with a prolapsed thrombosis from one for about six months. It got seriously painful about three weeks ago and I couldn't sit down or do regular daily activites anymore. So I decided to visit a private clinic where they suggested the DG-HAL surgical procedure saying it was "non-invasive" and that they would surgically remove the thrombosis aswell. Fast forward, I had the procedure done this Wednesday and they said "Oh yeah it's a fast recovery, we do it on Wednesdays and Thursdays so that people can get back to their jobs by Monday"..so here I am, Sunday 4.45 A.M., haven't slept since the surgery, and I just don't feel like stuff is healing. I have no appetite but am forcing myself to eat more small meals and drink plenty of water and fiber and oil supplements to make the BM pass better. So my concerns are the following: it's already the fourth day and i feel more pain, and have the feeling like by bowels are full and trying to rip out of my torso. I'm taking antibiotics aswell as ketobrufen painkillers every 6 hours or so because It's just to unbearable. I have the urge to visit the toilet very frequently but when I try to push something out only small traces come out (it is soft and without blood though). It hurts like hell after I pass gas or a BM, the cut out thromb takes up most of the pain. When I try to go to sleep, as soon as I begin to doze off a spasm contracts in my rectum and the thromb starts hurting like hell and it wakes me up. They say the method takes about 3-4 days to recovery, but as you can see I call baloney on that. So if anyone has had a similar experience can you tell me if this is normal and if it isn't what should I do about it? I have a writtwn exam on Monday and I want to be functional to take it. Thanks in advance!

Then I developed another pile with a hanging skin tag which sometimes itches and was bleeding a lot up until last month.
I couldn't drink alcohol for months I felt awful didn't go out and I've only started exercise again now I've put on two stone it was a horrible ordeal to be honest having piles and pile surgery was the worse experience of my life .
With the pain killer I know u not supposed to but I was taking 3 instead of two as the pain was so intense sleeping a lot and resting as I had such bad infection.
Remember you can't stop infection in this area any bleeding requires antibiotics ASAP
Best ,
Mia

I dreaded going to the toilet as I would basically go into shock each time, I would go cold and sweaty and shake and have to lie down after each movement.
My only advice would be to keep the area aired as much as possible and ensure that your stools are soft but formed.
I found myself running to the loo very often.
My concern would be that you feel a mass there/feel like you have a lot there but it's not moving, this could be fecal impaction so maybe ask your doctor for a suppository to soften this mass so you can pass it. You will find your motions much easier after this is dealt with, if it is fecal impaction.
Hope this helps
