I've had a hemorrhoidectomy earlier this year, February to be exact. It was the best decision I ever made. I had a few external hemms removed as an outpatient early one Friday morning. I didn't not experience much pain afterwards. I did follow the instructions sheet I was discharged with. I used Epsom salt in sitz baths. I drank plenty of water and used the stool softeners prescribed and, instead of tissue, I used indented baby wipes after bowel movements. Baby wipes is what I use to this day and again I have no regrets!!!!
Yes, hemorrhoidectomy is one of the most common types of surgery for thrombosed hemorrhoid. The healing period takes about 2-3 weeks. Banding is usually an option for those who has internal hemorrhoid.
