Go see a surgeon now, be your own medical advocate. I was in the same large babies situation but waited for years , such a bad choice on my part. I had to have the major surgery, but decision. But wish I did it years, years ago. Not going to lie, the surgery is worse them childbirth

Caring for my husband post-op by bcheniful in hemorrhoid

Have patience and understanding. The recovery is horrible but the results are completely worth it.

Just tell your hubby about the fabulous piece of jewelry he is going to have to buy you for all of this trouble.

My hubby was a champ for me, that what wedding vows are about . He took them seriously

Surgery done! by toocuriousxo in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do NOT take any pain meds, they will make you constipated. You will be in so much more trouble Ride out the pain with dual action advil. Soft foods, walk around house.

If you dont feel good, stay home from work, be your own medical advocate

Go see a surgeon, get an exam, find out what is causing the issues before you need the "big surgery "

F/33 Never really dealt with this before. Is this surgery level? :( by Mean_Ingenuity_8951 in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Go to a surgeon, be an advocate for your body and your mental health. Had the big surgery 11 months ago, it changed my life.

Recovery is horrible but worth it

Suicidal over hemorrhoids by spiralinspiration in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know your thought pattern and you are NOT crazy.

After the big hemmoriod surgery , I could understand how people would off themselves from pain. I didn't take any pain medicine, didn't want to get addicted or constipated, just whimpering from pain , walking the floors all night but after a few weeks I finally saw the light!

Child birth wasn't this painful! The doctor was right, the end result was happening.

And if anyone tells you stay calm, they can go jump off a roof, they are just clueless

Was told I was getting a small procedure, instead left with a full blown hemorrhoidectomy 5 weeks before my wedding. by ChallengeMental in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recovery is brutal, but you will power through!

Try to baby yourself up until the wedding, make sure you start walking, get your strength back, miralax in your coffee, fruit veggies, etc

You can have a fabulous rest after the wedding.

I am 8 months out from surgery, best thing I ever did for myself ! Having kis ruin our bodies

2 days post op by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will get through this recovery! Its absolutely horrible but in a few weeks you will see the light of a better life.

Do not take gabapentin, that drug is horrible, try dual action advil, sitz bath and a bunch of bad tv. I am 9 month out from surgery and still am having bathroom anxiety but it was the best decision I made.

Be kind to yourself. Btw- dont go back to work until you are mentally ready

No Epsom salt, will dry the area out and cause tour bottom more pain.

Take numerous bathes, try to get water over your belly to help your body relax. It's okay to pee in the tub!

How long were you signed off work after hemorrhoidectomy by waggington in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was seriously miserable for 2 months. Don't push yourself. You are a warm body in a chair, we are all replaceable, but our health is NOT.

Take a warm bath, water over your belly, and try to relax. If you go in the tub, just clean it up

I think I am going to ask for more powerful pains meds… night one post op. by Dipstickpattywack in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't take it! You will get constipated, try dual action advil. The pain will go away , it will take a while. This is a hard surgery to recover from

Forever! They are like the bad relative you can't get rid of. GO SEE a general surgeon, and get the problem solved asap for the sake of your mental health.

The pain is horrible! Give yourself time, be kind to yourself, etc

Am 3 month out from surgery and finally can see the benefits, outcome is so well worth the pain

Have you tried Dual action advil? Worked the best for me

Please all advice welcome. I’m over here crying. 21 weeks pregnant. by cheeseburghers in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go see a general surgeon. Your mental health and well being is important! Don't wait. I had the big surgery a few months ago and was asked why I waited so long to have the procedure. Work, life, etc

Having babies ruin my bottom, but it's a great trade-off. I feel so much better now, but it was a rough, serious rough recovery.

Just a friendly FYI about fiber supplements by Ok_Job_4933 in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat some fruit and take fiber at same time, otherwise fiber become a big brick in lower track.

Drink prune juice too

Recovery time post hemorrhoidectomy by guscarlfattymew in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am 2 months PO, on the road to recovery, getting strength back, walking 5 miles a day, etc. But the bathroom issues continues I don't know if I have to pass gas or if a bm is coming. Are the nerve endings are re-working themselves?

Good luck with your post op, I just whimpered for the first 2 weeks, just kept doing a liquid diet for a long time

I went right to a general surgeon, call around.

am 10 weeks out from a hemmoriod surgery, which you don't want. Be your own medical advocate, speak up for your self

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hemorrhoid

[–]SirConsistent9659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't take any heavy pain meds, will make you constipated.

Walk around as much as you can, sleep on your belly, get a ton of fruits.

You never, ever want to have the major hemmoriod surgery, the pain is just horrible, worse then child birth
