help! thrombosed hemorrhoid surgery?
so, my dad recently got a hemorrhoid removed at the hospital, although, they couldn’t find a blood clot. he was given pain killers, stool softeners, and things he needs for after the surgery. everything was okay but the next night, another appeared just as painful and quic to grow. if you have any advice at all for him, i would greatly appreciate it. we are going to find a surgeon tomorrow. but please, any help is appreciated. what should he do/be doing?

It may be a hematoma (blood collection at the operation site) rather than a hemorrhoid. Get it checked.
While removing a thrombosed hemorrhoid, you don’t find the blood clot. It is separated from the hemorrhoid ie a dilated vein, and mixed with tissue + blood oozing from operation site.
Hope it helps.
All the best!
Ana, I had to have hemorrhoid surgery in the late 70′s mine were inside and outside, unless the doc checks the inside he might miss one. I all together i had 18 some inside some outside, the doc said if he had to remove any more i would be wearing a bag on my side. Truly It was the must painful surgery i had ever had, they we giving me dilaudid thru my IV and I had to tell them no more when i start hallucinations Hope your dad gets better with his surgery. Good Luck Rita V
