Hi everyone, I'm here because I'm going to have an operation for 2nd time and I haven't decided which method to go with. I have grade 3 external hemorrhoids. I did HAL RAR in March and obviously it didn't work. I had constipation a lot last December so I visited a surgeon to perform it. The first week postoperative was good. However from the 2nd week, my anus got swollen multiple times when I did bowel movement. I felt it was not OK from there. After 3 weeks, I had the prolapse again for everytime I do bowel movement. It took around 10 minutes to go back inside. I visited my surgeon to check but she told me it's just the skin from canal not hemorrhoids. I took some photos for her to check but she still confirmed the same. After 1 month, 2 months and now 3 months, the prolapse is still there everytime I do bowel movement. I'm kind of disappointed and upset with the surgery. I've been told that the hemorrhoids were gone after 1 month and no prolapse. I decided to visit another proctologist and she told me it's still the hemorrhoids. She explained to me that the first surgeon didn't do it good enough (less stictches) so it's not effective. There are 2 options for me HAL RAR or M-M. I know that M-M is more efficient but it comes with a lot of pain and takes longer time for recovery. Tbh, I don't want to deal with hemorrhoids anymore. It's such a nightmare. Does anyone here had HAL rar for external hemorrhoids and are good after the operation? I also need experience from those who had M-M too. I appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.
Just ask for hemorroidectomy .
You will thank me later
Totally agree my consultant told me it’s the only op that’s 100% effective . It’s not nice but to be honest don’t think anything to do with this area is great . save yourself all the upset of having to go back a few years down the line .Good luck with whatever you choose to do
