Permanent operative solutions must be viewed as final remedies for hemorrhoids. Having said that, if what I've written below represents your circumstance:
a) Suffering for a long time, or...
b) Suffering from great pain
Please read the rest of this article for what you should do afterwards. This article is a wide-ranging look at hemorrhoids and what your options are when it comes to surgically healing hemorrhoids.
The Solutions -
Method/ Details
Rubber Band Ligation: This approach finds you laying down on your side, a doctor will then ask you to brace your legs up to your chest. A proctoscope is used to enter the anal cavity and the rubber band will be applied to the base of the hemorrhoid using forceps. Every instance takes a different amount of time/number of sessions, but your piles will shrink within several weeks typically.
Pain Level: 6/10
Time To Mend: Determined by your unique condition but consider 2/ 4 operations undertaken each 6/ 8 weeks.
Risks: Little chance of infection after procedure, rubber band becoming lose and dropping off hemorrhoid, bleeding
Sclerotherapy: This system presents you with an injection, ultrasound has become more popular too for an accurate delivery. The purpose of this treatment is to coagulate the infected vein. A needle or syringle is used to apply a water-based/ foam (respectively) solution to the piles.
null
Healing Time: The operation generally takes between fifteen and thirty minutes. Within 3/ 5 weeks the hemorrhoid will close up, decreasing in size.
Risks: Allergic reaction, skin necrosis, rectal fissures
Cryotherapy:
Extremely cold temperatures of - 196 centigrade are used to prevent bloodflow through the hemorrhoid. It becomes so cold that it's able to break like glass. It's popular because side effects are rare.
Pain Level: 3/10 - After the treatment there may be a little discomfort but it soon ends.
Time Until Cured: Could require more than one procedure - 3 days to 3 weeks
Risks: Very low risk but if a mistake is made, liquid nitrogen can be very serious indeed. Precautions are always taken.
Infrared/Light Coagulation: This procedure is super fast and well recognized by patients. The hemorrhoid is destroyed by a potent laser beam. After the operation, the scar tissue ensures the surrounding veins are held in place.
Pain Level: 3/10 - Depending on your sensitivity to pain you may feel the slightest twitch or experience a little discomfort.
Time To Heal: The time you take to heal depends on your unique case. Assume, however, that it will be one operation per hemorrhoid.
Risks: The possibility of problems are very low. Mistakes are extremely rare. Precautions are inevitably taken.
Hemorrhoidectomy: This is the single surgery that needs general anesthetic, thus it's the most severe. For this reason it's very important you understand the nature of this operation. See underneath for a thorough detailing:
Pain Level: 9/10
Curative Time: You should be practically healed after two to three weeks.
Risks: Potential adverse effects of operation are severe pain (controllable by drugs), rectal bloodloss, allergies to hospital drugs and treatment, and difficulties in going to the toilet.
The Hemorrhoidectomy
Sometimes the situation is just so bad, and so far 'down the line' that a hemorrhoidectomy actually is the only answer.
Partaking use of general anesthetic, the surgery removes 100% of the hemorrhoid in most cases. The fresh lesion is then stitched up to control the bleeding, and sutures are used to join the skin together. The sutures will dissolve over the next several weeks and the lesion will heal leaving no trace of hemorrhoid(s)
Post-surgery you will have pain. For some it will be bearable, and for for others it will be incredibly palpable for the next week after the operation. However, your doctor will prescribe you the best drugs to ease the discomfort. And you should also get some suggestions on how to naturally care for your wound during the next few weeks.
Like:
- Healthy foods - Have plenty of fiber and drink lots of liquids (water).
Sitting baths - these are highly encouraged by all doctors. There are no side effects (providing the water isn't piping hot that is) and the pain subsides almost instantly. Take one three to five times a day, at fifteen minutes a time. Immerse the new lesion into your bath water and ensure it's room temperature - roughly 25 degrees centigrade. For the really best experience make sure you sprinkle salt into the bath water, and add essential oils. By following this procedure you maintain a clean body and minimise the discomfort by a large degree.
In summation, while the hemorrhoidectomy is the most grueling and painful, it does ensure the least chance of hemorrhoids returning back (dependant also on your diet) when compared to all other treatments.
