HEMORRHOIDS surgery RECOVERY
- Common Side Effects: Minor complications like temporary pain, swelling, and bleeding are normal and typically subside as you heal.
- Infection: Although rare, an infection can occur at the surgical site. Symptoms include increased pain, redness, swelling, and pus. It is important to contact your doctor if you suspect an infection.
- Difficulty Urinating: Some people may temporarily have trouble urinating after the surgery, which can be due to pain or swelling. This usually resolves on its own, but sometimes a catheter may be needed.
- Fecal Incontinence: In very rare cases, there can be damage to the anal sphincter muscles, leading to a temporary or, in extremely rare cases, permanent loss of bowel control.
- Anal Stenosis: This is a rare complication where scar tissue causes the anal canal to narrow, making bowel movements difficult. This can be treated with dilation or further surgery if needed.
