Dealing with hemorrhoids – any advice?

Everything seems fine on my end now. Honestly, I don’t think it’s wise to just sit around right after a major surgery and act like nothing even happened. That’s why I didn't run into any post-op issues—I actually listened to my doctor. He’s a professor, too, and I have nothing but respect for him. The hospital was top-notch as well. When you're dealing with serious procedures, patience is everything. It really baffles me that Jeremy Kern wasn't given any specific advice regarding the recovery period. That feels like where things went wrong, and I truly hope everything is alright now. Wishing everyone the best...🙂

I might be being a bit much already... but I just have to ask...
Treating hemorrhoids with an IR coagulator...from what I understand, it basically burns the vessels, if I've got that right...
Is that actually a good approach?
Thanks to everyone for being so kind... especially Karen Thompson10🙂
Best...

Here’s the short version: I had my surgery on April 13th, and everything was totally fine for the first 10 days. Recovery was smooth—no pain, no bleeding. I had some minor digestive hiccups, but that cleared up quickly. Then, on Holy Saturday—since I was feeling great and had been laying around too much, I basically overdid it. I spent the whole day cleaning the house, got exhausted, and then sealed my fate by forcing myself to have a bowel movement in the evening (it’s just how I’ve been since birth, I don't know any other way). I went to bed thinking everything was normal.

On Easter, I woke up feeling like I was in a scene from "The Godfather" 😲, though there wasn't any active bleeding during the day. I managed to get a hold of Dr. I., who was actually on vacation (he wasn't back until Tuesday). He told me bleeding could happen up to three weeks after surgery, even though my gut was telling me otherwise because, honestly, there was A LOT of blood. He said to just rest and head to the hospital if things got worse. So, I spent all of Easter without any bleeding, until about 10 PM when I noticed a little bit during urination—just fresh, bright red blood.

By Easter Monday, I woke up early, went to the bathroom, and realized I was bleeding heavily again. I went to wash my face, got dizzy, and blacked out. Thank God my dad heard me collapse. He and my mom rushed me to my room and called 911. The paramedics took me to the local hospital here in the city where I live, and I waited to be seen. They checked me out and claimed nothing was bleeding. They tried to start an IV in the ambulance, but they completely botched my veins in both arms.🙄 Basically, they were going to send me home. Since there wasn't "acute" bleeding, they figured it was just an isolated incident. My mom wouldn't budge, insisting they look at me properly, so they sent me to the internal medicine unit. I sat there for two hours waiting to be seen, felt another dizzy spell, and finally got an IV started around noon.🙄
They did another exam—no blood visible, and they performed a rectoscopy (basically the start of a colonoscopy)—but they couldn't find the source of the bleeding. Then they sent me back to surgery to let them decide what to do. Those doctors were rolling their eyes at me, though. Apparently, the big joke in the hall was, "Oh, you had this done at a private clinic, so where's your primary surgeon?" If my mom hadn't pushed, they would have just sent me home. By 4 PM, I was finally admitted to the surgical ward. They ran blood work—it looked a bit worse, but since they didn't see active bleeding, they just kept me under observation. There was zero bleeding through Tuesday, and they wouldn't give me a transfusion because they clearly didn't believe me about how much I'd lost (every time they checked, everything looked clean down there).

Tuesday morning comes, no blood. They tell me I might be able to go home, and I'm all happy about it. I show up for my 9 AM exam, and wouldn't you know it—blood on the gauze again. Not a massive amount, but enough. The doctor examines me and says, "I can't even see the surgical site, let alone the source of the bleeding." I'm like, "Great." Then he says, "Go upstairs, we're taking you to the OR to figure this out." A theory popped up that this had nothing to do with hemorrhoids or the surgery itself, but was something higher up in the intestines or stomach. They were terrified of internal bleeding or sepsis. For context, I hadn't eaten anything on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (they didn't give me breakfast until Thursday). But, since there was no room in the OR, we had to wait until Wednesday. On Tuesday night, I had to use the bathroom (pressure from a BM), and blood leaked out again. I blacked out again. Finally, they got their act together, pumped me full of IV fluids, and gave me blood.😳 (In total, I got 2 liters.)

Anyway, since Tuesday night, there hasn't been a single drop of blood. I'm recovering, though my blood counts are still low. My blood pressure is sitting at 100/60, I've lost weight, and I'm pale, but they concluded I'm okay to go home. In the end, they scrapped the OR plan (I was too weak for anesthesia anyway) and abandoned the theory that it wasn't related to the hemorrhoids (because if it were something else, I would have had fever or sepsis). Still, nobody knows what caused the whole mess. And the big question is whether we'll ever actually find out.

Karen Thompson10Look, don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. We still have zero clue why this all went sideways—these kinds of complications are incredibly rare, though maybe I just have terrible luck 🤣. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone.
I keep telling myself it isn't the end of the world when I think about what other people deal with—you know, actual cancer or debilitating pain—and I keep spiraling into thinking I somehow caused this myself. So now, even though I feel like absolute garbage and honestly don't want to move, I'm just lying here trying to focus on rebuilding my strength and boosting my immune system (honestly, being 130 lbs at 5'10" is way too thin 😁). As for the doctor, I haven't quite made up my mind yet. I know nobody likes "cleaning up someone else's mess," and clearly, they couldn't even agree on how to handle my case. It makes sense, really, since none of them wanted to take responsibility for me. I'm still torn on what to think about the surgeon, and while I'm not looking to blame him, he definitely let me down in a few areas (I'll be dealing with him directly about that later).

Once I finally accepted the reality of my hemorrhoid situation—I mean, there's no denying it; it hurts, there's bleeding, it's clearly both internal and external—I decided it was time to grab some cream. Honestly, I wasn't exactly itching to discuss this specific issue with my doctor. At the pharmacy, the clerk recommended Fact ointment, which comes with an applicator, awwww, so convenient.
So, I gave it a shot... and I have to say, the cream is great. No pain, no bleeding, and it’s obvious why—I hadn't even had a bowel movement yet!
Basically, during those four days of using the cream, I didn't poop at all, nothing at all 😕
Interestingly enough, once I realized this wasn't going to work and stopped applying it, the very next day... well, everything came out at once and it was inhumane! I think you can just imagine how that went; you eat normally for four days and then nothing happens, and then—U-G-H 😲

Naturally, I thought it was weird, so I asked the pharmacist how such a silly "side effect" was even possible. She just stared at me with wide eyes, looking totally bewildered, claiming she'd never heard anything like it before. Truly, the whole situation is ridiculous (and kind of funny), and I have no clue why it happened that way—maybe some psychological effect or something? 🤷

Anyway, I haven't used any more topical treatments since then. But I am still mentally preparing myself to actually go see the doctor. 😢

I got pretty worn out, and to top it off, I sealed my fate by straining a bit too hard in the bathroom that evening (it’s just a lifelong habit of mine, honestly). I went to bed thinking everything was okay.

On Easter, I had a wake-up call straight out of a movie 😲, though there wasn't any bleeding during the day. I managed to get ahold of Dr. Ivanovic, who was on vacation (he wasn't back until Tuesday). He told me that bleeding can happen up to three weeks after surgery—though my gut was telling me otherwise because, frankly, there was A LOT of blood—and advised me to rest and head to the hospital if things took a turn for the worse. Well, the bleeding stayed away all through Easter, until about 10:00 PM, when I noticed some bright red blood while using the bathroom.

Early on Easter Monday, I woke up, went to the restroom, and realized I was bleeding heavily again. I went to wash my face, felt dizzy, and blacked out. Thank God my dad heard me collapse. He and my mom rushed me to my room and called 911. The paramedics took me to the local hospital near our place, where I waited to be seen. They examined me and claimed there was no active bleeding. They tried to start an IV in the ambulance, but they couldn't find a vein and ended up bruising both of my arms.🙄 Basically, they were going to send me home. They figured since there wasn't acute bleeding, it was just an isolated incident. My mom insisted they take a closer look, so they sent me to the internal medicine department. I waited there for two hours, felt lightheaded again, and didn't finally get an IV until noon.🙄
They checked me out there too—no blood visible, and they performed a rectoscopy (the start of a colonoscopy)—but they couldn't find the source of the bleeding. Then they sent me back to surgery to let them decide.

They ran blood work—it showed things were getting a bit worse, but since they couldn't see active bleeding, they just kept me under observation. There was no bleeding at all through Tuesday, and they wouldn't give me a transfusion because they seemingly didn't believe how much I had lost (every time they checked, everything looked clean down there).

Tuesday morning, no more blood. They mentioned they might discharge me, which made me so happy. I went in for an exam around 9:00 AM, only to find blood on the gauze again (not a massive amount, more like what you'd see on day three of a period). The doctor examined me and said, "I don't see the surgical site or the source of the bleeding." I thought, *Great.* But then he says, "Go upstairs, we're taking you to the OR to figure this out." A theory emerged that this had nothing to do with hemorrhoids or the surgery itself, but rather something higher up in the intestines or stomach; they were worried about internal bleeding and sepsis.

But then, on Tuesday night, I had to go to the bathroom (pressure from a bowel movement), and the blood started dripping again. I blacked out once more. That finally got everyone moving; they pumped me full of IV fluids and, eventually, blood.😳 (In total, I received 2 liters.)

Anyway, since Tuesday evening, there hasn't been a single drop of blood. I’m recovering; my blood work is still a bit weak, though it's improving. My blood pressure is still sitting at 100/60, and I’m pretty pale and underweight, but they finally decided I was okay enough to head home. In the end, they gave up on the operating room (since I was honestly too weak for anesthesia again) and moved away from the theory that this had nothing to do with hemorrhoids—because if it were anything else, things would have taken a turn for the worse with pain, fever, or sepsis. But we still don't know what actually triggered all of this. Whether we ever find out is the big question.

Karen Thompson10, please don't apologize. This isn't your fault. We still don't have answers as to why this happened (these kinds of complications are truly rare; maybe I just haven't had much luck 🤣). I'm not blaming anyone.
I keep telling myself that this isn't the worst thing in the world compared to what other people face—like battling various cancers or unbearable pain—and that I probably played a part in this myself. So now, even though it's hard and the last thing I feel like doing, I’m just going to lie here and focus entirely on rebuilding my strength and immune system (59 kg at 178 cm is definitely way too low 😁). As for the doctors, I don't have a clear take yet. I know nobody likes "fixing someone else's mess," and they couldn't even agree among themselves on how to handle my case. It makes sense, really, since none of them wanted to take full responsibility for me. I'm still undecided about the surgeon; I don't want to blame him, but he did let me down in certain ways (I'll have to settle that with him directly).

It is strange that they can't pinpoint the cause of the bleeding. I hope you won't need a Dr. House to solve this and that everything turns out fine. From what you wrote, it sounds like you put yourself through a lot of strain. You really shouldn't be overexerting yourself after surgery. Also, forcing yourself when you go to the bathroom isn't good. You mentioned earlier that you had trouble with bowel movements after the procedure. Once things start moving, you should just go naturally without straining too hard. Since you were pushing yourself... I suspect it might be linked to the hemorrhoid surgical site. Though, it is odd that they didn't find anything during the exam. Just try to regulate your bowel movements, drink plenty of fluids, watch your diet, and don't strain yourself. Good luck...🙂

Use a stool softener, get things moving, and head straight to the doctor...😉

I honestly think you’re incredibly brave for handling all of this so gracefully, and I truly hope you start feeling better soon. Personally, since I have such a massive phobia of doctors and hospitals, I think I would have spiraled a little differently than you did.
My own experience with both my doctor and the clinic was actually wonderful—I had nothing but praise for them—but looking at things from your perspective, there are two specific things that really rub me the wrong way (even if those details weren't explicitly mentioned).
It is just plain wrong when someone walks into a hospital seeking help, only to be met with judgment about the fact that they sought private care or questions about where their previous surgeon is. It’s like none of that matters in a moment of crisis, which is just heartbreaking.
If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't hold a mistake against a doctor—even if it truly was their fault—as long as they took responsibility for my care moving forward. For instance, I would expect them to coordinate with the surgeons over at Mayo Clinic and then, once I was stable, transition me to their practice at Mercury or a local outpatient center under their direct supervision. Anything less would feel like a total letdown... Why? Simply because I am a paying patient and they are my doctor. I've actually heard nurses over at Mercury mention how patients often come in after a certain specialist messes up, and how frustrated the other doctors get about it; so, I would fully expect Dr. Ivanović to take charge of my case since he was the one who performed the procedure.

I'm not sure how he handled things with you, but I am so sorry if he let you down, and I really hope you can settle this with him because, at the end of the day, trust is the absolute foundation of the doctor-patient relationship.
More than anything, I just hope this whole ordeal is behind you now. Please just focus on resting, don't push yourself too hard, try to get your digestion back on track, and I truly believe everything is going to turn out okay. 🙂

Can anyone recommend a good doctor or maybe someone at a hospital where I can get checked out? I really can't afford private specialists right now. I'm 20, a college student, and I've been dealing with this for two years—it's been pretty bad for the last 7 months. Please help.

Both Dr. Ivanović and Dr. Kocman are widely considered top-tier surgeons over at Mercy Hospital. If you need to see Dr. Ivanović, he does his rounds there on Fridays starting at 10:00 AM, while Dr. Kocman is available on Tuesdays from 9:00 AM.
I've personally had appointments with Dr. Ivanović and felt really well taken care of, and another user here, JosephineL, also went to see Dr. Kocman and had a great experience too.

thanks for getting back to me!!!
anyone else got a recommendation they can share??

Is it actually possible for hemorrhoids to cause frequent urination? Like, could they somehow be putting pressure on the prostate or something? Once I finish using the bathroom, I feel this weird, constant pressure down there, and then it feels like I have to pee every five minutes right after.
My urine culture and swabs didn't show any signs of an infection...🤷

Alright, I’m curious if anyone here has navigated this specific nightmare before (I’m sure someone has, but I honestly don't have the stamina to wade through 90 pages of forum posts, sorry). Since last August, I've been dealing with internal hemorrhoids. At first, it was just a few drops of blood without any real pain. By November, however, things escalated into excruciating pain during bowel movements. I tried to get ahead of it, obviously; my first stop was a specialist over at Mayo Clinic, who prescribed some Fact ointment, but it did absolutely nothing. My follow-up wasn't scheduled for months, and the story stayed the same. By February, I finally hit my breaking point and headed to a private clinic, which is where this whole saga really kicked off. The proctologist there informed me that I actually have three hemorrhoids, two of which are Grade 2—something my previous doctor failed to mention entirely. He insisted I undergo a colonoscopy before we could proceed with rubber band ligation. So, I checked the colonoscopy box and moved straight to the first ligation. That went fine. The second one? Also fine. But then, the real trouble started. Following the second procedure, an anal fissure appeared—or perhaps I had one all along and just wasn't told, though looking at my diagnosis now, it seems inevitable. My cousin actually saw Dr. Lastrić for similar issues, and apparently, he's had a fissure from the start, which Dr. Lastrić explained can be resolved quite simply with a single incision. My current obsession is this damn fissure. I’ve done the research, I’ve followed the advice: my proctologist prescribed Ultraproct cream, which I apply religiously, but it’s useless. I sit in warm chamomile baths twice a day for ten minutes, and nothing. I maintain a strictly regular diet with soft stools, yet the pain during bowel movements is absolutely soul-crushing. During the rest of the day, it feels mostly normal—just some occasional burning or stinging due to some redness around the rectum. And thank God our healthcare system is so incredibly efficient, right? They scheduled my dermatologist appointment for April 4th to take place on June 17th! Anyway, my question is: what should my next move be? Should I just go see Dr. Lastrić directly, or should I keep applying the cream, sitting in my chamomile baths, and praying to God that things improve?

Since August, I've been struggling with internal hemorrhoids; at first, it was just a few drops of blood without much pain. But by November, the pain during bowel movements became absolutely brutal. I tried to get ahead of it, seeing a specialist at Cedars-Sinai first, who prescribed some Fact ointment, but it didn't do squat. My follow-up wasn't for months, and the issue just persisted. By February, I was losing my mind and went to a private clinic, which really started my journey. The proctologist there told me I actually have three hemorrhoids at two different stages (which the guy at Cedars-Sinai totally missed!), and said I needed a colonoscopy before we could move forward with banding. So, I got the colonoscopy done and proceeded to the first banding session. That went fine, and the second one went okay too. But here’s where the nightmare starts. After that second procedure, I developed an anal fissure (or maybe I had it all along and the doctor just didn't mention it, but looking at my diagnosis now, it seems likely—especially since my cousin saw Dr. Lastrić for similar issues and it turns out he’s had a fissure from the start, which Dr. Lastrić said is easily fixed with a quick incision). I’m asking about this fissure specifically; I've read everything online, my doctor gave me Ultraproct cream, but I apply it and nothing happens. I sit in warm chamomile baths twice a day for ten minutes, and nothing. My stools are regular and soft, yet it still feels like absolute hell when I go! During the rest of the day, it's mostly fine, just some occasional burning or stinging because of the redness around the area. Thank God our healthcare system is so "efficient" that they scheduled me for a dermatologist on June 17th after I requested it back on April 4th!!! Anyway, my question is: what should I do? Should I just head to Dr. Lastrić, or keep applying creams, sitting in chamomile baths, and praying to God?

I dealt with an anal fissure myself, though my situation was way more intense than yours. The pain made it impossible to function normally. Dr. Lastrić told you the truth—it gets resolved with a small incision, and then that little wound can gradually heal. Just keep in mind, if fissures aren't treated, you can end up with fistulas, polyps, and all sorts of other nasty complications...
Creams are useless; they only work if you catch it the very second it appears. If it doesn't clear up within a month, it means the fissure has become chronic and surgery is likely the only way out. I was in significant pain for about three days following my surgery, but after that, it was like the operation never even happened. My advice is don't wait and just see the doctor. I truly regret not going sooner... unfortunately, it isn't just going to vanish on its own. Check out the last few pages of this thread; one woman here has been fighting this for two years.

I noticed nobody has jumped in to help you yet... honestly, I haven't heard of that specific connection before, but it makes sense to me—it’s kind of like how a physical obstruction can mess with everything nearby if the internal swelling is severe enough. It might be worth seeing a specialist just to get a definitive answer and rule it out once and for all.

Hello everyone..
I've been struggling with a persistent issue for quite some time now. To be specific, I am experiencing intense itching around my anal area. There isn't any actual pain, just constant itching that happens every single day—it becomes particularly bothersome in the evening once I lie down and try to relax. I have already consulted my doctor and explained everything clearly. Initially, he requested stool samples and urine cultures, both of which came back normal. He then attempted to take a swab from the area, but unfortunately, that procedure failed twice.🤷
Please excuse the graphic detail, but when I examine the area, I notice what look like small, slightly swollen ridges surrounding the opening.
I am extremely diligent about my hygiene and overall care, so I am truly at a loss as to what might be causing this or who I should turn to next. I gave birth about a year ago, and following the delivery, I developed some hemorrhoids. They were painful at first, but I managed to resolve them using a cream from Hadens that I picked up at the pharmacy...
Given all this, what do you think this could be? My doctor seems stumped and doesn't know which specialist to refer me to or what the underlying cause might be, leaving me feeling quite desperate. Who should I reach out to? If these aren't hemorrhoids, what kind of specialist can perform a proper examination of that area?
My apologies if this was too much information. Best regards to you all!

hey, does anyone know how long I can actually use Faktu ointment?

I can't believe I'm actually sitting here typing this out, but honestly, it feels like my life has been a constant series of uphill battles lately. It’s just one thing after another, like trying to run a marathon through knee-deep mud while everyone else is cruising by on paved roads. kaže:
Hey everyone, hope you're all doing great!
I’ve been dealing with this one incredibly frustrating issue for quite some time now—it’s this relentless, unbearable itching around my rectal area that just won't quit. It isn't even painful, per se, but the itch is constant, especially every single night when I finally lie down to relax and everything settles. I went to see my doctor and laid it all out for them, so they started with the standard stuff like stool samples and urine cultures, which both came back fine, but then they tried to take a swab from the area, and for some reason, they couldn't manage to get a successful sample even after two attempts.🤷
I’m sorry if I’m getting a bit too specific here, but whenever I take a look "down there," I notice these little textured lines—kind of bumpy or ridged, if you know what I mean—right around the anal opening.
I honestly take my hygiene and overall self-care incredibly seriously, so I’m feeling a bit lost right now because I truly have no idea who to turn to for advice on this. It’s been about a year since I gave birth, and shortly after the delivery, I started dealing with some really painful hemorrhoids, which I eventually managed to soothe using that Hades cream I picked up at the local pharmacy.
So, what do you all think this could actually be? My doctor is honestly at a total loss here; he’s just scratching his head, having no clue where to send me next or even what we're dealing with, and I am honestly starting to feel pretty desperate. If this isn't just some chemical imbalance or something internal, who on earth should I turn to—like, what kind of specialist can actually get down there and give me a proper exam?
Please forgive me if I overstepped or sounded a bit intense—sending my best to everyone!

I honestly don't think anyone on an internet forum can give you a real diagnosis, because at the end of the day, that’s a job strictly for a medical professional, so you really ought to go see a specialist proctologist.

Sandra Patel40 said:Hey everyone, does anyone happen to know how long you can actually keep using Faktu ointment before it becomes an issue?

If my memory serves me right, I think you aren't supposed to use it for more than four weeks straight. You should probably double-check the directions on the packaging just to be safe.

Karen Thompson10 said:If I remember right, you shouldn't use it for more than 4 weeks straight. Just check the instructions on the box.

It doesn't say... it just says to apply it 2-3 times a day... but nothing about how long you can actually use it!!
thanks for the help😉

Robert Newman5 said:This isn't exactly the most fun topic to bring up, but I’d love to hear about anyone else's experiences. What exactly is this, how do you get it, how do you treat it, and what actually helps?
I spend a massive amount of my day sitting at my desk, and lately, I've been feeling this stinging sensation around my anus whenever I go to the bathroom—especially if I use rougher toilet paper. I've also noticed some blood on the paper. Maybe I just irritated the skin, or maybe it's something more serious?
Thanks, everyone.

You really need to head to the doctor right away so they can refer you to a specialist. You don't want to guess how far things have progressed, since there are four different stages... It's much better to deal with this now while it's manageable rather than waiting until it gets worse and surgery becomes the only option!!😲
