2005 had a heated cutlery surgery for mine, and a small banding on the other.

I did not go for the stapled as Tham (who might have forgotten me), provided his advise to me via email some years back then.

Appreciate him for his medical inputs as always.

For TS, the first few months would be a challenge. Whilst if you are younger at age, the healing would be faster, and depending on how good the surgery went.

I had blood stained almost on every BM, and some anal stricture feel. Nevertheless... I say this...Life needs to go on.

What you can do it get yourself Sitz Bath. Which I assume you might know this. Do it 3 times a day perhaps, get some gauze and replace them during the time of healing, as there might be pus during healing, and slight bleeding as well.
I usually put about 5 tablespoonful , enought to soak me to the waist.


If require to go outside...wear those women's sanity towel.

As for diet...I had loads of papaya, water and other fruits that reduce the hardness of the BM.
Prunes (don't go for the juice...it's rubbish), would help reduce any constipation.
Have a bigger fiber intake.

The work for me was timely, as I was a contractor back then...so, I was to be renewed the next 2-3 months...and that gave me time to do the surgery...and that was also timely, when the clot was bleeding, and I had them done overnight.

I wish you speedy recovery TS. Brave it, and don't rush things....
It will be a 2-3 months healing at least ...sometimes perhaps more...but honestly...DIET is everything.

HI Tham, we just emailed around 3-5 mails to each other.
I just read your experience from another webpage, and got in touch with you.

YEs, I had a bipolar scissors, the heated ones, that seals and reduces any blood lost.
Back then, laser was only available in Pantai, and it was expensive. Almost 3-5k i believe.
You told me about your staple experience...and I decided to forgo that procedure.


TS,

Please do not use the "consumer" sugar that you buy from sundry shop. Get those sea salt , that cannot be consumed by human, but used for other means....

After the healing starts...around 1 month or so...buy some antiseptic cream....

Also maintain cleanliness in that area....ie: dry.

Try not to push stools...I know it's difficult, so, drink lotsa water, and maintain a good diet.

Oats and cereals bulk...so be careful....Have to test a bit.
I forgot the diet I took , but mainly lotsa papaya alternate days....





Well, now I am plagued by H.pylori....and after a few rounds of antibiotic therapy failure, I decided to do some home treatment.

Life's ups and downs... Even through good diet..and being a workforce... we cannot control much of the food we eat outside....regardless if it looks clean and cooked hot.

that's fine. There is naturally no right and wrongs as each body reacts differently.

As long as you don't develop any rashes, excessive pus and infection.

That will set you to more long term healing. ...

The "stricture" feeling is normal for me. Because it;'s tightening....hence, stools should not be entirely liquid, but still having some "form", but soft for you to pass through.

This is to allow your "muscles" to not completely close. ( As Tham puts it in term stenosis)

I know it sounds worrying, but it's NOT.
Healing will take place , just need some light exercise...walking a bit, less sitting...and more warm sitz bath.

Speedy recovery to you.

Thanks Tham.
I did mine in Assunta, under Mr.Liew Fah Kong.
I believe the equipment is harmonic scalpel...and the cost was about 1.5k -2k range, adding the rest, brings up to around 2.8k range.

1x 4 degree, prolapsed external
1x 3 degree, prolapse external
1x 1 degree, banding.

The 4th was bleeding, before he decided to cut me the next day.
I was LUCKY I believe, that he did it well, and less complication, and less pain since I had a strict dieting regime before the surgery.

Nope. It's 3...only 3 blood veins in the anus...should NOT be more. I just mentioned them each by the degree they were in.
Touch wood...no relapse, and hopefully not ever.

It is genetic for mine. Grandfather, father, brother and me...all the males in the family has them.
