as a result of surgery??

Hello all,

I'm 3 months post surgery but I'm still experiencing hemorrhoid symptoms....

Dr. said that this could be a result of the surgery....

anyone experiencing this?? I've never had rectal "issues" before...this is not fun!!

TIA,

Debi

i totally had a hemorrhoid blowout after surgery. its been 4 weeks and its a ton better, almost completely gone. definitely from surgery. i hadnt had that issue since i had my third kid 15 years ago. definitely not fun. ive just been treating it with over the counter creams and those special wipes. my doctor looked at it at the 1 week mark and said it looked like it should clear up on its on soooo.....but if youre still that uncomfortable maybe you should call your doctor, maybe there's a script you need. good luck.

I had problems several years ago and my doctor recommended that I use ointment and wipes and start a high fiber diet. I had to be careful about sitting and it is not fun. If the pain is really bad, call your doctor to see if they need to give you a prescription for something to help. Hope you feel better.

I did get a script for suppositories...they help and fast but it's just a pain..never know when they will flare up...and then being intimate is difficult too....

This all started about a month before surgery...doc thought that the rectal pain was being caused by the fibroids....now the hemorrhoids have kicked in since teh surgery....lovely!!

Thanks and I'll see "professional" help if things get much worse......

OMG! I was just going to post something tonight asking for help with hemorrhoids! They started about 5 weeks after surgery and have not quit since!!! I've tried everything I can think of to help and at the most, I get some temporary relief. Have gone back on Vicodin for the pain. This actually hurts more than my hysterectomy did and even will stab me awake at night. Went to church this morning and had to leave early since I was in so much pain. It also makes my tailbone hurt. Any ideas would be most welcome......please......

My pain started before the hyst but has not gone away completely...I get the tailbone pain too...or like the whole rectum/bowel area hurts all the way up my back. Some days are better then others but yesterday was especially bad....pain/itching. I did gt some suppositories from my doc that are hydrocortizone....which helps a lot! If this doesn't stop in a bit I'm going to need to go see my GP.

Good luck...and if you find something that works (short of more surgery) let us all know.

Hugs

marie,
I would talk to your doctor to see if they can give you something for this. I know how painful they can be. I had them several years ago. I ended up in er because of pain and they had to numb it and then drain them because they got infected. Hopefully they can give you something to make you more comfortable. i would definitely ask if you can use Miralax or Benefiber and/or Colace to make it easier to go. Talk to your doctor because most of the over the counter ones probably won't help much right now. Good luck. Hope you feel better
