please do check how much it is...i would like to know

how come this thread stopped??

anyway, I am trying to look for hemorrhoid surgery but mine does shrink back in. Does the surgery only apply to hemorrhoid that does not go back in?

My goes back in because I am using a special seat that help to make it go back in. Usually it will take like an hour for it to go back in but with this seat, it goes back in almost instantly (unless I strained the anus too much during defacting).

So far the seat is helping but I would like to get it treated once and for all because traveling with the seat in the luggage is no fun.

With all the comments here, looks like laser method is the best??? Or any other better method that have longer lasting effects and less after surgery pains. I am really terrified reading all the stories of after surgery which is really crazy.

Also, thanks to everyone who share their story and experience. It really make it easier to live with this embarrassing issue.

wow!! nice to hear that. So your surgery is using stapler method, right? And the healing process...how long was it...the suffering???

i am going into surgery for my 2 x stage2 and 1 x stage3 hemorroid. The doctor gave me the choice of going directly for stapler or rubber band. I opted for rubber band because i really dread the post surgery issue that comes with stapler.

He said, he can try to rubber band the stage 3 hemorroid and see if helps with turning it into stage 1. Cause with stage 1, with medicine and diet, it will help to reduce it or keep it in control.

However, he is giving me anesthetic. Cause he said want to check inside of my colon to see if there are any complications. I think it might be unneccessary but no harm taking precautions since can claim insurance.

This is doctor sivabalan from sentosa.

Just done my band ligation on Friday. First BM on Sunday and can see the bands came out. But it cause pain in my anus. Pain level is like a 5 of 10. Then today just had my second BM and right now it is painful like hell!! A 10 out of 10!! Then reading more about this and realize I should have went for laser method. Found this klinik buasir dafute. If this hemorrhoids still not recovered I am going for laser. The pain is really really really bad now. The doctor shouldn't have advise to go band ligation for level 3 hemorrhoid. They say cause many pain receptors there which is now!!! Pain pain pain.

Seems like my hemorrhoid is still coming out. Worst is it's not going back. I have to go check tomorrow. This is bad.

i would like to pursue laser as it seems like the least painful method.

I found one called Klinik Buasir Safute who claim to be using laser surgery but after doing some research, I am quite sure it is not laser method. They are using some way like burn method to heal up the removed part. Not sure but I am going for REAL laser treatment.

So, anyway...I went to Universiti Malaya Specialist Center and appointment is 2 months. So I have to wait for 2 months before I can see the doctor. And then not to mention how long more before I have to wait for the surgery. Apparently the doctor only see 3 patients per week!!!

Anyone know of any other hospital that have laser hemorrhoid procedure?

Tham, thanks for the suggestions. You are really the hemorrhoid local expert here.

So anyway, after doing my own research. Eventually, I went to sunway medical, um and ramsay parkcity.

For UM, seeing the specialist only would require an appointment of 2 months. So skipped here.

For ramsay parkcity, the doctor did advice me to do stapler because he said one of my roid is too big for laser. Cause after laser, the roid will swell and cause massive pain for few days. This hospital is EXPENSIVE! Consultations alone without medication cost me almost RM300.

For Sunway medical, the doctor is DR Chong who used to be in UM. He is now in sunway. He gave me choice of using Laser or Stapler. I double checked with him if my roids are too big to use laser but he said it is okay.

From the few consultations and reading online, here are my conclusions:
Stapler - best method with balance between effectiveness and least pain. Cause the stapler will fix the whole circumference of the inner anus. Recovery is still bad for some people and there is a very very little chance for some people of "feeling something there" for the rest of your life cause it leaves the titanium staplers in your anus..

Laser - most modern method, effective and least pain but only for small roids.

Band Ligation - fast and simple for small roids. But a bit of suffering post surgery. Cheap too as basically only need local anesthetic.

Hemorroidectomy (cutting it off) - most effective for removing large roids but the recovery is super pain in the ass (literally). Some people suffer for 2 months and still not recover. Basically this is the last line of defence when all else fail. Never go for this method unless all other methods does not work.

Anyway, I already had my laser surgery for 4 days now. I must say the pain is mild and much less than band ligation I had previously. The wound is still bleeding a little and I try not to move too much. Already had 3 BM and all is good so far. I do still feel like something is still there but I really hope it will go away after some time.

So to those who are still in early stage...please go for the laser. It will save yourself a lot of pain an agony of other methods.

Yup..LHP helped to reduce the hemorrhoids. Recover is like only 1 week. Super easy and no that painful during recovery.

Right now, I have another Prolapsed Hemorrhoid. I have to push it back every time after passing motion. It is still manageable now so I am holding out to getting it fixed.
