I am having my hemorrhoidectomy in the morning. After reading a lot of stories in different on line forums I am terrified. I have everything ready for recovery taking advice from different people. I expect pain and lots of it. I am 60 years old and in excellent condition so I'm hopeful I can get through this. Wish me luck and ill take any advice anyone has to give.
Oh acredite em mim- valerá a pena!!
Foram 10 dias de puro inferno, mas depois disso é liberdade.
Prepare-se para ficar na banheira o máximo possível. O calor será seu melhor amigo. Tente descansar o máximo possível. Menos atividade mantém a dor controlável.
Mantenha seus remédios para dor o mais perto possível. Tome-os logo antes de um movimento intestinal.
Lembro-me de que após meu primeiro movimento, pulei na banheira.
Gritei e chorei pedindo ao meu marido que me trouxesse remédios para a dor às 0300.
Não consegui nem me levantar para pegar os meus próprios remédios na mesa de cabeceira.
No entanto, estou livre de dor há tanto tempo agora!
Voltei ao trabalho, vou à academia e faço muito mais. Tenho zero dor.
Boa sorte! Você consegue. Vale a pena.
Finalmente é bom ouvir alguém falar sobre como é a vida depois que toda a dor passa.. obrigado
Oi, onde você está?
Thank you for the encouragement. My surgery is in 4 hours and I am bracing for a rough recovery. I hope I am one of the more lucky ones I've read about. Here's to getting to the other side 🥂

Como você está se sentindo?
I'm a month post op! Definitely worth it!! I had a internal external and a thrombosed one. The first 2 weeks were rough up and down. But nothing unmanageable. Take all the tips on here and you will find what works for you. Good luck you will be pain free in no time I am
Finally able to comment. Three rough days since my surgery on Tuesday. Woke up from surgery with minor pain. Was given pain meds and sent home. Minor bleeding and pain through Tuesday and Wednesday. Had Vicidon every 4 hours around the clock. Nausea was really bad due to pain meds. Stopped pain meds yesterday due to the nausea and fear of constipation. Felt tolerable off meds. Could not have BM feared I was constipated so drank a bottle of mag sulfate at 9 pm last night. Up all night feeling full and miserable. At 3 this morning made coffee and started sipping shortly after that I had enough of an urge to attempt a BM. Painfully but with success I was able to go with minimum pain and bleeding. I have had very little bleeding compared to what I have read. Soaked in the tub for about 10 mins and now resting on the couch. May have to return to bathroom for another round but feeling like a hurdle has been passed. This is day four and I feel like its been less than I expected as far as pain. Will see what the next couple of weeks hold.
Thank you I am managing to get better a little at a time. Hope to continue to heal as the days progress. All encouragement is appreciated.
Do not eat bananas and red meat, when you pass stool it will be difficult for you. Also do not drink coffee. Eat more veg and fruits. Also use sterile local anaesthetic before you pass stool, it will feel you painless.
What kind of anesthetic do you recommend?
lidocaine (lignocaine) Hydrochloride 2%, 10%, this is best for local anaesthetic
How about epsom salt in the bath?
Yes it will be better if u have epsom salt..
