I wish I could simply tell you to keep your stool soft and your hemorrhoid won’t become a problem! This is what I have been told by doctors and surgeons continually, but it just doesn’t seem to make anything better. I had a hemorrhoidectomy to remove an internal hemorrhoid. I also had a sphinterotomy and a fissurectomy to help my fissures to heal. My surgery was 4 weeks ago. I have been doing everything right with my diet, taking stool softners, lots of fiber, water and exercise. The 2nd week was the best week I had! The pain after a BM was tolerable and was mostly due to the muscle spasming. However, for the past week and a half it’s been absolutely horrible! I have tears again (fissures) when I pass a BM and it’s even more painful than it was before the surgery. I’ve developed depression as a result of this experience, especially because I am only 19 and this strongly interferes with my life. I believe your outcome will be much better as I probably have an underlying issue (IBS, crohns, celiac etc.) I cannot think of another reason why I would be struggling so hard when I seem to be doing everything right! Just keep your spirits up and remember, the doctor wouldn’t have left it if he thought it was going to be a chronic issue for you. Also, hemorrhoids themselves are painless; it’s the associated cuts and tears (fissures) that cause pain. Best of luck!
