Had multiple external hemorrhoids removed 4/12/22. I had significant pain after bowel movements for 2 weeks. By the third week I actually thought I was improving on pain. By the 4th week my pain was coming more intense with stooling but would go away after I was done stooling pretty quickly. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said everything looked okay and this was to be expected. I thought the pain was supposed to improve every week. The pain is extreme to the point my anal sphincter spams close and barely any stool comes out. Anyone else have this experience? Is this just another hill I have to get over? Thanks in advance!

This is what i have learned from the internet. Other than here on #Rhoid Rage (& recovery) , very few people will come on a forum or subreddit to post about a good or expected experience. Many will post something if they have had a terrible or negative experience.

Honestly I think during covid people went to the internet more then ever and i honestly think its hindered some peoples outlook on life or their situation. For instance, everyone thinks doctors suck and while yes there are some terrible doctors, therapist , psychologists etc, many of those same professionals will be the ones who help you in the end. Yet no body will post about those because they have gotten better? Why linger? Pain and suffering are very closely linked to our psychology.

If you get caught in a forum or subreddit where you are constantly hearing that nothing helps and no one actually gets better well…that might just be what ends up happening. Thanks to all here who share their true stories, especially the good ones I never see elsewhere

I had haemorrhoid surgery 2 months ago and I always had issue with constipation and clearing out bowels. My question is, is it okay to eat chicken 2-3 times a week now or does that increase chance of recurrence? What do you guys think?

Is it possible to get hemorrhoids again after laser hemmorodoctomy ?

I mean just in the future.if i eat kinda healthy and drink water is it possible to get again?

I am one month post surgery.doing ok i think

But at the bathroom i have to push a bit to get the poop out or my colon.is that ok?

Doctor said i will not get hemorrhoids again.but I don’t really believe that.also i know i should not push but it is the only way to get the bowels going.

hi all, ive been suffering for years and its only gotten worse despite doing ALL the recommended things and using all sorts of products ive finally decides to get them looked at by a doctor but im not sure what to expect or where to start.

first question - should i see a proctologist or gastroenterologist?
