From: L. Brayman

Q : It has been suggested I have surgery for my hemorrhoids as they are to "large?" to be treated with the rubber bands that strangle hemorrhoids. I have also been told that it is very uncomfortable, painfull for up to 10 days. What if the consequence of not having the surgery? They rarely cause much discomfort but do bleed and cause ruined panties.

Answer :  Hello Brayman. You have not mentioned whether you have internal or external hemorrhoids. The choice to undergo surgery depends on how serious the threat is to you from the hemorrhoids; whether it is leading to clotting or too much bleeding, and only your doctor will be able to tell you that. The other reason for surgery will be if the hemorrhoids are making you very uncomfortable and stopping you from leading a normal life, and that decision must be made by you. If you feel you can manage your symptoms without surgery, and that there is no risk to your health, then you could try some home remedies like increasing your fibre intake, drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly. You can also try some yoga treatment or hemeopathy, as that is said to be very beneficial in treating piles or hemorrhoids. You should also talk to other patients of piles who have undergone surgery to know about their experience.
