Morning,
I had the PPH done about 6 years ago and I am 34 now. My hemorrhoids are back and just the same as before. I had no complications after the PPH surgery and no pain. I recovered quickly and was back to normal in about 2 weeks. But as I said my hemorrhoids are back and now I am going to go see a doctor about next steps. Now if I could go back in time I would probably have just gone with the hemorrhoidectomy but again I am not sure what the pain associated with the hemorrhoidectomy is like and quite honestly I am not sure about it being a permanent fix either. I would love for someone to answer that for me. But if a doctor told me I could keep having the PPH procedure done over and over again I would just go that route. Because there was no pain after surgery and I would have no problem getting that done again. But I am sure that would cause complications over time having the same surgery performed. One last thing I do workout frequentely and I used to do very hevy lifting which I know is a killer for hemorrhoids. So I am positive that didn't help with causing the hemorrhoids to flare up again. I hope this helps I can answer more questions if you have them.
