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 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.

I’ve already been to see a colon rectal specialist that specializes in hermorrhoids and other digestive issues etc. as I started having lots of pain and most recently lots of rectal bleeding from that area. Well he told me I have an external one and he prescribed some prescription preparation H type cream to use. I also bought a donut cushion. I used up all the cream and have been using the donut cushion while working, but now my symptoms are more severe than ever. I’ve even started getting light-headed while working and feel like I’m going to pass out after I’m done w/ work. The dr. told me that if I continued to have problems to make another appointment and more than likely he would want to remove it by rubber band ligation or something like that. My question is, if I get that procedure done, and continue using the donut cushion, will that gaurantee that I don’t get any again? Has anyone had them removed using the rubber band procedure and did it get rid of them totally forever? It’s really affecting my job performance and I’ve started cutting hours because I feel so bad, the pain is so severe and I’m starting to feel pretty weak. It’s to the point where if I only work 30 minutes, I start bleeding alot afterwards.

i had my hemorrhoid rubber band ligation 3 days ago. im a healthy teenager, Doctors told me to take it easy after the procedure but i feel good, better without the hemorrhoid, i was wondering if i could continue activites such as basketball, running ..etc..if not now, any time soon?

Creams or ointment wont make the skin tag retract on its own. I happen to live in a backward town where the government doctors refuse to perform surgery on me as it is not health-threatening. And I’m not a candidate for rubber band ligation. If I perform the surgery myself under anesthetic, will I die of infection or worse, cut a nerve or artery?
