Posted: 05/01/08 - 17:36 Post subject: does surgery hurt more than the actual hemorrhoids?
I get painful external hemorrhoids about 1-2 times a yr. for the past 15 yrs. After I had my daughter 3 yrs. ago my anal area is always swollen and I have anal bleeding when I have a BM. I have thought about surgery but am wondering if it is more painful than just putting up w/ roids? I'd like to be done w/ the problem, but am on the fence. Any advice?
