I'm hijacking the thread but I'd be grateful to read about other people hemorrhoids experience. I'll start:
I had hemorrhoids which had to be operated because they become thrombosed. So I did a surgery (with general anaesthesia) to remove them.
The recovery pain was unbearable, a real torture. For like 3 months I was in pain all the time and had to take painkillers and put some special cream on the operated area (my ass). I couldn't sit and had to lie down all the time(I was lucky that I wasn't working at this time). Going to the toilet was really painful at first but that improved after some weeks. This was considered normal.
The thing is that even now, almost 5 years after the operation, it still bothers me, depending on my stool (if it's hard it's a big problem). Does it ever heal?
All in all unless really required I don't recommend operating your hemorrhoids. Change your diet, use a bidet, use creams and try to avoid surgery!!!
