Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectum or anus that can cause pain, itching, and bleeding. If conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and over-the-counter remedies fail to provide relief, removal may be necessary to alleviate severe symptoms or complications like prolapse or thrombosis.
Haemorrhoid removal can be done through several methods, including:
- Rubber band ligation: Cuts off the blood supply to the haemorrhoid, causing it to shrink.
- Sclerotherapy: Injects a chemical solution that shrinks the haemorrhoid.
- Infrared coagulation: Uses heat to shrink the haemorrhoid.
- Haemorrhoidectomy: Surgical removal of large, painful, or prolapsed haemorrhoids.
- Stapled haemorrhoidopexy: A less invasive surgery that repositions and removes the haemorrhoid.
The level of pain depends on the method used. Minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy usually cause mild discomfort, while surgical haemorrhoidectomy may involve more pain during recovery. However, pain can be managed with medications and proper aftercare.
Recovery time varies by procedure. Non-surgical treatments may require just a day or two of downtime, while recovery from surgical haemorrhoidectomy could take 2 to 4 weeks. During recovery, it's important to follow your doctor’s guidelines to ensure proper healing.
As with any medical procedure, haemorrhoid removal carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, urinary retention, and anal stenosis (narrowing of the anal canal). However, these complications are rare and can often be managed effectively with prompt treatment.
While haemorrhoid removal can provide long-term relief, hemorrhoids can recur, especially if the underlying causes (like constipation, straining, or a sedentary lifestyle) are not addressed. Maintaining a high-fiber diet, staying hydrated, and practicing good bowel habits can help prevent recurrence.
Your doctor may ask you to:
- Stop taking certain medications (e.g., blood thinners).
- Fast or modify your diet before the procedure.
- Use a bowel prep solution to empty the colon (for some surgeries).
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, especially if anaesthesia is involved.
The type of anaesthesia used depends on the procedure. Non-surgical methods usually only require local anaesthesia or no anesthesia at all. Haemorrhoidectomy may be done under local, regional, or general anaesthesia, depending on the severity of the hemorrhoids and patient preference.
During recovery, you may experience some pain, swelling, and discomfort when sitting or during bowel movements. It’s important to:
- Take prescribed medications for pain relief.
- Eat a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water.
- Avoid straining during bowel movements.
- Follow your doctor's guidelines for wound care and activity restrictions to avoid complications like infection.
Foot care is critical for people with diabetes. To prevent complications, regularly check your feet for blisters, sores, or cuts, keep your feet clean and dry, wear appropriate shoes, and control your blood sugar levels. It’s also important to schedule regular foot exams with a healthcare provider.
Symptom checker
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please book an appointment with us. Symptoms can vary from person to person and from condition to condition.A proper diagnosis can only be made through a thorough medical examination.
Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Do you experience bleeding during bowel movements?
Bright red blood on toilet paper or in the bowl can signal irritated or swollen haemorrhoids. This isn’t always painful but it should be checked by a professional.
Do you feel pain or discomfort around the anus when sitting or during bowel motions?
Pain, pressure, or soreness in this area is a common symptom of haemorrhoid irritation or thrombosis.
Have you noticed itching or irritation around your anus?
Itchy, irritated skin around the anal area may be caused by swollen haemorrhoidal tissue and can persist if left untreated.
Do you have a hard lump near the anus?
A tender lump or swelling can be a thrombosed external haemorrhoid — a painful clot that often needs clinical assessment.
Do you feel a bulge or prolapse of tissue from the rectum during bowel movements?
Internal haemorrhoids can protrude or prolapse during straining, leading to discomfort and the feeling of tissue coming out.
Are you experiencing persistent anal pain or irritation despite home care?
If symptoms don’t improve with diet changes, topical care, or sitz baths, it may be time to discuss medical or surgical options.
