09 Aug 06 - 12:57 PM (#1805357) Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemmerhoidectomy? From: LilyFestre A friend recently has surgery for hemmoroids and it did not go well because she relied on a local small town doctor who is a surgeon but not specialized in any one thing (he delivers babies, does C-sections, hernias, cancer surgeries and the list goes on). She is now seeing a specialized doctor and is doing MUCH better. Please be sure you are dealing with someone who is specialized in this area and save yourself tons of pain and heartache. The doctor she is now seeing said she should have been out of any kind of pain and off pain medication in 2 days. She's been on it now for almost 3 months. Also, she said the most helpful thing was a "doughnut," a round air cushion seat for you to sit on while you are still healing. Best of luck to you. Michelle |

It was only a single item, and gave no particular problems. A friend of mine had a more serious case, and was a week or two recovering. He didn't like the treatment, but he liked it better than the problem, and felt MUCH better. |
09 Aug 06 - 03:55 PM (#1805527) Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemmerhoidectomy? From: JohnInKansas It's been a long time ago, and I was much younger and healthier then; but a "school doctor" at my university did a "clean up" on multiples, and I got up and went to my next class straight from the surgery. Aside from a need to be "cautious" about cleanliness and avoiding any "strains" of the area it was sort of a non-event. (It was a very good school, hence the expectation that he was a very good doctor.) John |

12 Aug 06 - 10:10 PM (#1808473) Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy From: Troll Another thing that helps is a hot sitz bath. You can probably buy one at your local pharmacy at the same time you buy the "donut". My recovery time was almost a month and, yes, there was a helluvalotta pain the first time my bowels moved but that was mostly because they had me packed full of gauze. After that it was fairly easy. Good luck. I had mine in 1978 and have had very little trouble since although my wife sometimes accuses me of being a haemorrhoid. troll |

02 Nov 10 - 05:37 PM (#3022007) Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy From: gnu Occasionally, increased pressure on external hemorrhoids causes them to break and bleed. This causes a lump (thrombosed, or clotted, hemorrhoid) to form. You may suffer from severe pain at the site of the clotted hemorrhoid. A procedure to relieve the pain can be performed in a health professional's office or outpatient clinic. The health professional applies local anesthesia and then makes a small incision where the lump has occurred to remove the clot and reduce pressure and pain. The procedure works best if it is done less than 4 or 5 days after the clot has formed. If the pain is tolerable, you may choose to wait to see a health professional. The pain usually goes away in a few days. After 4 or 5 days, the pain from cutting and draining the hemorrhoid is usually worse than the pain from the clot. **************************************************************** WHAT? No, really? Noooooo. NOOOO! Aggggghhhhhh! |

05 Nov 10 - 11:14 AM (#3024298) Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy From: gnu Why, yes, I have, at 10:20 AM... Doc and nurse enter. Small talk. Doc washed the blood away (it's been bleeding a few days, which actually hepled relieve the pressure and thus eased the pain) and cleansed the area. He said he was going to do the freezing, which is the usually the most painful part. The nurse said, "You can grab the side of the table if you want." I did, tightly. About twenty seconds later he asked me how I was doing. I asked, " Did you start yet?" and the nurse looked at me, surprised. Shortly, the doc said the freezing was alomost done... I felt nothing. He cut. I felt nothing. He squeezed I felt nothing. He "poked and squeezed" which was slightly more uncomfortable than a prostate exam. I was handed a sanitary napkin and instructed how to use it. I got dressed as the doc was leaving. As I was leaving, I said to the nurses in the hallway, "Well, it's been a slice, thanks." Always leave em laughing. It's been 1:40h since the freezing and I don't have much pain but the doc gave me a prescription for Tylenol 3, so..... we'll see. Whack a blood though. |
05 Nov 10 - 02:50 PM (#3024471) Subject: RE: BS: Ever had a hemorrhoidectomy From: gnu Almost 5 hours and no pain to speak of. Although, I do stand up to cough. Advice for those told they are gonna have one... er, not have one as the case in point. After it was done, certain things were told to me which should have been told to me BEFORE the surgery... Get the doc to give you the prescription for pain killers BEFORE the surgery. Driving to the drug store and asking the little girl who takes the prescription if it can be speeded up because you just had surgery, you are bleeding and you don't know when the freezing is coming out doesn't help when she has to deal with more than one customer at a time... I am thankful she wasn't chewing gum or I would still be there. It was only when I coughed loudly that she went to check and found the pain meds sitting in a tray which I had been eying for FIVE MINUTES! grrrrrrrr Get sterile gauze pads (4"X4"), sanitary napkins, diapers, fruit, green veggies, fruit juices, metamucil, Polysporin (antiseptic salve), suppositories, Sitz bath, epsom salts, baby wipes, and iodine BEFORE the surgery. You may not need them all, but... wait for it... yeeeessss... cover yer ass! Oh yeah, I called Mum earlier to let her know how things were going. It's a rainy and windy day and she can't get outside for a walk. I asked her if she was getting bored. She said she was just watching TV and puttering and then asked me if I was bored. I replied that I was doing much the same thing... just arsin around. |

She actually picked up two trays and filed those prescriptions with the other completed ones - mine was beside the two she picked up. That's when I coughed. The nurse had told me to eat fruit and green vegetables, take Metamucil and drink LOTS of water. She stressed the importance of this by adding that my first bowel movement would feel like I was "tearing my insides out". No pain at all. Of course, it could be because I ate fruit, green veggies, Campbell's vegetable soup, half doses of Metamucil and then, at about 8PM inhaled a half a 12 with the works from Vito's and a couple Buds. |
