Does the thought of someone making an incision into the delicate areas of your rectum sound intimidating to you? It sure does for me.
In this article I want to explain to you the reality of what hemorrhoid surgery involves, especially the after-effects.
This is what so many hemorrhoid sufferers have to go through when they opt for traditional hemorrhoid surgery or also known as hemorrhoidectomy.
Depending on how severe your case is, hemorrhoids labeled in the 3rd or 4th degree normally are recommended to have surgical procedures to reduce or eliminate them.
This also goes for piles that are largely hanging out of the rectal area, which is called a prolapsed hemorrhoid.
Traditional hemorrhoid surgery creates an incision on the hemorrhoid itself and attempts to eliminate the bulging vein that has been damaged.
Although it does eliminate the hemorrhoid, the situation is simply not the same as it used to be.
This is why the recovery period is long and painful despite the patient coming out of the operation in the same day.
Furthermore, be aware that the healing of this surgery does not create the ideal situation for the body and many times may require the sufferer to do repeat operations.
If you ask anyone who has had this surgical procedure, they will tell you it never heals properly.
There is also a procedure called PPH where they use the circular staple to reduce the prolapse size.
This normally creates a speedier return to most activities.
It is normally recommended for people who have tried conventional methods such as creams and cannot help their situations.
Nevertheless, there are still side effects as with any surgical procedure in this delicate area of the body.
Sometimes, you may see staples coming out at defecation or some leakage is not uncommon.
The key is to understand what you are getting into before deciding on the surgical procedure.
