My doctor is suggesting me Rubber Band Ligation surgery. Is it helpful? I searched this procedure is painful. I poop blood i.e. bloody poop every time i have my bowel movement.

I had hemorrhoid banding 5 days ago. Would i be alright to go to the gym. I would do just upper body weights. Also, would jogging be ok as the bands last for 7-10 days. thanks

I have 3 small to medium internal hemorrhoids and have yet to decide to have a rubber band ligation procedure performed. From this website http://www.ucsfhealth.org/education/hemorrhoids/ it says that a dull pain is expected. I’ll admit it that I have a low pain tolerance which is why I want to know how painful and what type of pain it feels like to have a rubber band ligation.

Ok guys *and girls this one is going to be a lil dirty so sorry in advance

I’ve had a bad stomach for a week or so now, a mix between heavy diarrhea & constipation. (today was the latter)

I usually tend to find a little fresh blood (and some black blood) on the tissue paper but I’ve put this down to a recurrence of haemorrhoid’s (which ive had ligated twice with a rubber band)

whats concerned me is today after a movement of bowels, there was a LOT of blood on tissue inc. what looked like a blood clot, tar like in appearance; dark red & gooey

I did check in toilet to make sure I wasn’t bleeding out, but it appeared I was, there was also a considerable amount of Fresh blood mixed in with solid stool, as well as a few drops of blood in the water.

I feel generally ok, a little weak & i have a bit of a fever but I did have a few drinks last night so I put it down to this – or could it be something more sinister ?

sorry for the disgusting nature of this question people and I hope someone can give me a decent answer…

PS im 29 years old, & overweight. (oh and cancer seems to run in my family hence part of concern)

Thanks in advance !!!

I just had a hemorrhoid banded and it’s been one week and I still have discomfort. The hemorrhoid has enlarged and I’m waiting for it to shrink.
