Hemorrhoidectomy | 8th day experience

i had my Hemorrhoidectomy surgery last Monday ( 27th Jan 2020 ), I’m now lying on my bed crying after having rough, bad 4 days suffering from the pain I’m experiencing.

First of all, I’m 30 years old man, i suffered from an internal hemorrhoids since i was like 15 years old, i was a kid back then. i went to the doctor and he told me that I’m going to need a surgery to remove it. My family refused the surgery and i lived dealing with that issue for another 15 years. Till now!

Since last August, i suffered from 3rd degree hemorrhoids that was causing me huge pain, couldn’t control it till i visited another Dr and he advised me to perform the surgery. i did it!

my first 3 days after the surgery was good, i was eating a lot of liquids, having good amount of fibers, my bathroom condition was easily and i can manage the pain. Everything was going fine just till i wake up on the 4th day’s morning and began to suffer!

That day till now is just a disaster. I woke up everyday at 6:00 AM in the morning and spend all the day in the bathroom, i have that feeling of i never take a proper dump all the time even if it’s a huge amount, the pain every time is unbelievable i can’t even go back to my bed for a whole hour! I talked to my Dr, he told me it’s a regular Tenesmus case that is common in these types of surgeries. He described me medicine but nothing is improving.

Now i don’t have any other option but to try tolerant the pain and wait .. Just wait to feel any improvement. I wish i had something to cheer you all up .. Wish me luck .. and please hang on there if you had this awful surgery.

Hello

I am real sorry your going through.
I had just went through my second surgery in 3 month period. I had Grade 4 hemroids the last surgery I had removed just 1 and the recovery has been tough. I literally went against my doctors wish and returned back to work today my body is in so much pain.

But … hot water bottles work amazing, ice packs, if you can go to a drug store and by Xlyocaine 5% ifs a numbing agent and use it before your bowl movements it’s a life saver.

after bowel movements take a hot hot bath and sit for at least 20 minutes it helps!

know u r not alone…I went through it 4 months ago…I had the same w experience as u…the anesthesia helps the pain the first couple of days…omg, i have never suffered like that…banged bathroom wall, yelled out to God, swore and CRIED. day 10 it started getting better. I wore depends for 2 weeks…pain gone after 6 weeks except for a little bit…

Hang in there, what worked for me was every 4hrs 400mg of tylenol with 400mg of motrin, stay super hydrated and take sleep medicine so you can sleep alot body heals best at rest…the end result is so worth it…remember after 4 or 5 weeks pain is tolerable, I love how the dr’s say 1 week you’ll be back to work, I dont know where they pulled that out of…
