External hemorrhoid treatment: Should I REMOVE or LEAVE them?

I had externals surgically removed in February after suffering 15 years (getting them from childbirth). Here I am 3 months out and so thankful. It was a really horrible first couple of weeks, but worth it. I had one funny lump leftover that was snipped off last week, and I never thought I’d say this, but I have a nice bum hole now! @Dr. Chung- Your videos have been a wonderful guide to keep me reassured!

How many weeks was it bad?

[@bacz42]

@@mohammedazzan7529 the first 2 weeks were really uncomfortable (especially the first BM). After that each day was less and less painful. Swelling takes the longest to go down completely, could be upwards of 6-8 weeks. I’m now 5 months post-op and it’s as if I never had hemorrhoids or a hemorrhoidectomy. No regrets now, best decision for me. Good luck!

[@НинаДедуль1952]

[@Rookslife]

I know it’s off topic for this video specifically Dr Chung but could you maybe cover something about the roll of mucus in fissures. I know it’s typical talking about the haemorrhoids but I’ve heard about it with fissures and suspect this was the reason for my mucus too. It usually seems to crop out when the anus and pelvic floor is super tight for me. But that may be unrelated. I feel the mucus irritates the skin down there including the fissure even with the scar tissue there. It can be quite hard to clean too. But it’s only there a few times a week and has been there at various stages during the fissure healing but didn’t start until quite late on. I’m not sure if that typical or not. Anyway there’s not much info out there on mucus and fissure. A follow up topic I wonder if it’s worth mentioning some of the more Oral based medications and the pros snd cons and what they can help with. I’m thinking things like your amitriptyline, pregabalin etc that are being used off label for pain or spasm, nerve issues after a fissure etc. And possibly even things like Valium suppositories or muscle relaxers. Thanks again doc. I know you’ve probably got a lot of great topics already lined up!

I previously commented on a video you made in regards to water only fasting and hemorrhoids. I stated their that I saw moderate success in getting the ruptured vessels to heal by "giving them a break" but this is far from a cure. Intermittent fasting is "the way" for anyone dealing with an inflammation response to food though because it limits the amount of times you need to go daily. I went on to figure out some time ago that a low dose otc decongestant (10mg Sudafed) alleviates the swelling enough to have a complication free bm, I'm not sure how well this will work in the long run but it makes regular bodily functions less of an emergency for sure on flare up days. I also figured out that the bleeding OUTRIGHT STOPS on "the next bowel movement" using cayanne peppers natural ability to cease bleeding. I currently use franks red hot until I'm able to make it into surgery😂

Use five cloves of garlic dice them up put them in a bucket and add 1cm or 2cm of hot boiling water in the bucket and sit on the bucket it will help with the pain so much.

I really need to consult my case and be sure of what's wrong

My External hemorrhoid was thrombosed and burst so I just kept the area really clean so it heals .

Should I get surgery on old external hemorrhoids that aren’t swollen just tissue? I prefer to get rid of them. Idk if my ins. will cover.

Your in OC? What city are you in? I'm from Fullerton but in Vegas now. Still having issues with my same external hemmi, it's been a year now and I know it's not going to go away on its own. I do have some good news though, being constipated for along time made things worse but seems like I just needed daily prebiotics to get things softer and it's worked for a few weeks now.

I have hemorrhoids but I want to say there internal? Because only when I sit down and use the restroom they come out are those internal? Or external doc?

Those are internal. I think they’re called piles if they can be pushed back in

How do you keep the operated area from getting infected after surgery since you use the bathroom in the area this is what I worry about

[@HellaBiBi]

I had a question. I just went to visit about my external hemorrhoids grade II. He did sclerotherapy to shrink them but did not tell me any risks about it and how to care for it afterwards. I keep reading about the risks of sclerotherapy and that it wasn't intended for external hemorrhoids. Should I be worried about any health problems?

[@НинаДедуль1952]

[@AubreyForever]

When my external hemorrhoid first appeared I was in horrible pain from bowel movements and just during the day. It has been two weeks since my external hemorrhoid first appeared. I use a cream, etc. A doctor I have seen said it may go away on it's own as if nothing happened. I don't know why the recovery if I decided to have it removed would be any worse than what I am experiencing now. Will it go away on it's own? Maybe just left with a simple skin tag to remove?

[@Terry1212]

Did it go away on its own?

[@AubreyForever]

@@Terry1212 Yes, but I used prescription cream and the Prancura cream advertised by this internet doc.

Hello Doctor it is normal that hemoroid deflate completelly but when i try to look at it it starts swolling, or when standing to much and while pooping, and then deflates. It has been like this for more than 4 months it will ever stay deflated all the time. Or i will have to live with this behaviour.

[@Klon0.2]

Did you ever get it to go away im having the same thing going on at the moment

[@jonathandimuro5129]

Dr. Chung, thanks for all you do. I had the surgery two years ago. And now I have a small external hemmoroid now can I get rid of this nightmare for good.

[@НинаДедуль1952]

[@duramirez]

It's a thought decision for me, because I know how painful a Thrombosis can be because I had them more times that I wanted to, but at same time, I am not sure I should do the procedure. 😞

[@MamadennieChampion]

Yes, I need to know if I can have a surgery. I could be off from work for several days but it is worth it. I also need your advise if see the physician to remove the external hemorrhoid, it there a guarantee that it will not come back?

[@jillnunes318]

No guarantees lol sorry
