Hi,
I have had several external and one internal hemorroid ( level 3) since 2010 after I naturally gave birth. It really affected my sex life. My family doc and the colorectal surgeon both advised to have surgery. I did it 3 days ago in a hospital under full anaestesia. Not much pain after and if I have pain, I take Tylenol 3 (prescribed). I live in Toronto so if you need the name of the doc, let me know.
