Permanent surgical solutions must be viewed as last remedies for piles. However, if the following points describe you well:
a) In pain over a period of weeks
b) In pain from lots of discomfort
Take my suggestion and consider them. By the end of this article I would hope that you stand a lot better on whether surgery is right for you.
The Treatments -
Type of Surgery/ Description
Rubber Band Ligation: This approach finds you laying on your side, a doctor will then ask you to brace your knees up to your chest. To start with, a protoscope will be used to gain admittance to the hemorrhoid. Then forceps will be used to wrap the rubber band around the swollen varicose vein. The band causes the hemorrhoid to lessen in size.
Pain Level: 6/10
Healing Time: As a general rule of thumb; 2 - 4 operations, 6 - 8 weeks apart for complete removal of piles.
Risks: Small chance of infection after operation, rubber band becoming lose and falling off hemorrhoid, bleeding
Sclerotherapy: This solution utilizes an injection into the swollen vein. Ultrasound may also be used for specific placement. Application of treatment is through a needle or syringe - liquid or foam respectively. The injected solution stops blood going through the infected vein.
null
Time Until Recovery: Procedure takes 15 30 minutes. After three to five weeks the vein will become plugged.
A frigid cold solution known as liquid nitrigen is used to solidify the targeted vein so as to make it completely inactive. Cryotherapy gets outstanding feedback from people because it superbly quick and side effects are very uncommon.
Pain Level: 3/10 - After the treatment there may be a little discomfort but it soon subsides.
Healing Time: As with other operations, may involve more than one procedure. Three days to three weeks.
Risks: Very low chances of complication but if a mistake is made, liquid nitrogen can be very severe indeed.
Infrared/Light Coagulation: This procedure is super quick and well recognised by patients. A high-powered laser is used to quickly cure the hemorrhoid by burning it. The resulting scar tissue holds all of the other veins in place.
Pain Level: 3/10 - Pain is very slight. A few days after the procedure you may experience a little soreness.
Time Until Healed: Depends on how many hemorrhoids you have normally one session per hemorrhoid.
Risks: Complications are very rare so don't be concerned.
Hemorrhoidectomy: Here we have the concluding procedure, but it's certainly not the least public. For this reason it's very essential you understand the true reality of this operation. I've seen to it to do an in-depth detailing of the hemorrhoidectomy. Please see underneath:
Pain Level: 9/10
Time Until Healed: 2/3 weeks
Risks: Potential untoward results of operation are severe pain (controllable by drugs), rectal bleeding, allergies to hospital drugs and treatment, and difficulties in going to the lavatory.
The Hemorrhoidectomy
With the right diet and mindset, hemorrhoids can most often be remedied safely and neatly. But...
Sometimes the situation is just so bad, and so far 'down the line' that a hemorrhoidectomy really is the only solution.
This operation is an approach to remove piles in their totality, through general anesthetic. Subsequently, the new lesion is stitched up to moderate the bloodloss. And finally sutured to conjoin the skin and allow healing to commence. The sutures will dissolve over the next several weeks and the lesion will heal leaving no suggestion of hemorrhoid(s)
Once the surgery has been carried out your doctor will give you prescription drugs for painfulness and most likely helpful ideas on how to naturally help the recovery of your wound.
As In The Following:
- 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. Fill your bath with lukewarm water up to the level where your buttocks are wholly submerged in the water. For the really best experience make sure you sprinkle salt into the bath water, and add essential oils. This way you can be sure you have kept the area clean and ensure the pain isn't too bad - you may even avoid the prescription drugs completely!
In summation, while the hemorrhoidectomy is the most grueling and afflictive, it does ensure the least chance of hemorrhoids coming back (dependant also on your diet) when compared to all other solutions.
