This is actually very important to support your patients keeping them informed thru the post-op. Last few I have had nurses told whoever was picking me up just take him to ER if anything as I was fainting at discharge and don’t remember anything under high doses of hydromorphone. Vancouver BC. It is so called “free” healthcare, where it isn’t free and least what many involved care is your health.

[@pamhairintl]

I flew down from Northern Cali to see this doctor. He was absolutely GREAT. I honestly think that if he doesn't know something about 'this area" it ain't worth knowing. He's knows everything. I can say this after seeing 4 different people at big deal hospitals and clinics in the Bay area. He identified my issue, told me what I needed to do, was actually quite conservative and protective of my well-being...an excellent physician. I plan on flying back in to see if he'll do a procedure [skin tag removal] for me. I absolutely ONLY trust him for this, because he actually gives a damn about my pain and suffering. the outcome, the long lasting result, and has the experience and knowledge that others simply Do.Not.Have. There is none better.

[@kathcares]

Thank you, Dr. Chung! Knowing what questions to ask and understanding the answers is critical to a successful treatment experience. You are doing a great service to all of us here by educating us about Bottom End issues. I feel confident that I can have a conversation with my doctor that goes both ways, instead of just accepting the answers they give without fully understanding them.

[@fieldsofgold775]

I was ignorant about a lot of things with hemorrhoids. Until I got them managed. Your videos are informative. Thank you. I had banding done first 14 years ago. That wasn’t suffice & I had to then have a hemorrhoidectmy. Soon after. The pain post surgery was so bad for me. In aftercare @ night in the hospital. I almost fainted. I wish I had of. The pain management was woeful in that hospital then. I practically had to bite into a leather belt until my surgeon arrived in the morning to give me pethidine. In recovery @ home I was in tremendous pain and discomfort. For what seemed endless days into weeks. & I have a high pain tolerance. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. For me it was a horrendous experience. A month ago I was back in hospital to have a skin tag removed. Only to discover when I awoken from my surgeon that I had banding done for hemorroids 😱😂. …..& the skin tag has not been removed 🤫. So I’m going back to have the tag removed & if the internal hemorrhoids are not gone. I’ll need another hemorrhoidectomy. No one is more surprised than me. Or nervous. 😂 I have a good surgeon. & I now realise that hemorrhoidal treatment & surgeries can be tricky. Or @ least that’s how it has been for me.

I've had 5 bandings that got rid of bleeding and prolapse and 2 sclerotherapy sessions for itching. The second session was injected too deep and gave me kidney stone. Well I still get itching and doctor wants to do hemorrhoidectomy but says my case is not severe maybe grade 1 internal and external. I feel like that's too drastic. I've noticed that when I exercise and eat better no fast food or sweets regularly that my symptoms go away but it returns very easily. I'm tired of dealing with it so I'm going to another doctor to see what he says. What do you think?

[@angelabolden5390]

Had the hemorrhoidectomy surgery 2 months ago. Very little discomfort for me. I realize everyone is different during recovery but thankfully, it wasn't bad for me. I used Recticare and Calmoseptine plus, took Colace and Miralax twice daily and adhering to a fibrous and soft food diet. Also, drinking lots of water and walking helped as well. In addition to improving peristalsis from walking it also helps with any discomfort.

Great video. I had hemorrhoidectomy done a few years back. Best thing I had done. There was no other way to fix the hemorrhoid. Had a awesome surgeon. Pain was tolerable with meds. Took about 4 weeks off of work for me so I didn't tear anything. Best thing I was told by my surgeon don't lay around or sit to long when you get it done. Worked for me, different for everyone.

He gave me prescription grade lidocaine and 800mg ibuprofen for the pain. took warm showers and bath to help. Not going to lie the first bowel movement was rough, but after that it got better. Just take baby steps each day. It all depends on your pain tolerance. If the pain is worst for you they will prescribe something stronger for you. The big thing is ask questions.

So, I had a hemorrhoidectomy. It was pretty bad prior. I was told the dr would have to remove skin tags after healing, due to him not removing too much skin for pleating. I was ok with that, and expecting that. Then at that appointment, I guess he was dissatisfied with the result and scheduled another hemorrhoidectomy. I don’t understand what went wrong, or why he didn’t explain my options. Is this a bad sign?

Hi, I am very happy with your video's. Watching everything. One thing I don't understand that you say you cut out things that are outside and stitch it up because my surgeon here told me you cannot numb somebody when you for example band up a hemorrhoid that is outside because there are nerves there and you must tell the doc when he is banding up a nerve.

Hey Dr. Chung! Big fan and love your videos. I had a hemorrhoidectomy 3.5 weeks ago (had 3 internal and 1 external grade 4 removed) and starting to feel almost 100% now. I was blessed to have a wonderful surgeon and your videos certainly helped during the recovery process. It's pretty painful, but honestly, becoming anemic from the bleeding and the pain from my thrombosed hemorrhoid was worse, so I'd recommend the surgery for anyone in my position. During my 2-week post-op visit, the surgeon said he found a fissure (was super surprised because he was not expecting it given I didn't flinch during my anal exam the week before my surgery. He recommended waiting until my healing was complete before treating the fissure. Curious if you could speak a bit more about pranicura and how it works?

I suffer from kidney stones. Which I needed pain meds for. Which lead to concrete like stool. Then developed hemmorhoids that turned into hemmorhoid tags. From them if I get diarrhea I got anal fissures and of course a tight anal sphincter. I was prescribed a compound cream. The fissure and tight sphincter pain usually goes away after a while and using OTC pain meds. But it comes back. The colorectal doc said the next step is botox injections. So I hope that would help me and does the pranicuria cream help heal fissures and hemmorhoid pain.

Surgeon did cauterization of my skin tags today and hoping it will be back to normal :) speak with your surgeon and let him know that there is a skin tag after the hemorrhoidectomy and they should be removing that.

@Mike DeLucia Hi. I was shocked to learn about this procedure too. I chose IBI Healthcare in Tampa Florida. The procedure lasted about 30mins, I woke up virtually pain free. I went in for a follow up the next morning and then flew home from there. No pain killers, all I was prescribed was preop antibiotics. After arriving home I could feel something was different but I wasn't in pain and after about a week I felt 100% normal. Extremely grateful!

@Mike DeLucia My surgeon was Dr. Soto. She is great. There is 3d rendered videos of this procedure on there website and on KZbin that explain what is done but simply they penatrate the hemorrhoid with a laser then go all the way to the base of the hemorrhoid. Then the laser cauterizes it which permanently cuts off blood flow to the hemorrhoid. That's it.

I added a comment here with my email to see if we could have a conversation about I, if you were open to that, but that must not be acceptable here and they didn't print it. I wish there was a way for us to have a conversation. Either way, I got the phone number and just called them. They weren't in today (Sat). I will call them back on Monday morning.
