Frequently Asked Questions

A haemorrhoidectomy is a surgery to remove haemorrhoids, which are inflamed and swollen blood vessels in the rectum or anus.

A haemorrhoidectomy is performed to treat severe or recurrent haemorrhoids that cause significant pain, bleeding, and discomfort and do not respond to non-surgical treatments.

Haemorrhoids can be internal (inside the rectum) or external (under the skin around the anus). They can also be classified based on their severity, ranging from grades I to IV.

A haemorrhoidectomy is usually performed under general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia. The surgeon removes the haemorrhoids using various techniques, such as banding, excision, ligation, or stapling.

Haemorrhoidectomy is considered a major surgical procedure due to the removal of tissue. However, advancements in surgical techniques have made it a relatively routine and safe procedure.

Risks and complications of haemorrhoidectomy may include bleeding, infection, pain, urinary retention, faecal incontinence (rare), and narrowing of the anal canal (stenosis).

Recovery time can vary, but most people require several weeks for full recovery. Initial pain and discomfort usually improve within a few days to a week.

Pain is expected after a haemorrhoidectomy. Your surgeon will prescribe pain medications that help manage discomfort during the recovery period.

Non-surgical treatments, such as lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, topical medications, and minimally invasive procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy, are usually attempted first. However, these may not be effective for severe or recurrent haemorrhoids, requiring a haemorrhoidectomy.

Haemorrhoidectomy is performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home on the same day. In certain cases, an overnight hospital stay may be required.

Yes, haemorrhoidectomy can be combined with other procedures, such as fissurectomy (for anal fissures) or fistulotomy (for anal fistulas), if necessary. The decision depends on individual circumstances and the surgeon's recommendation.

Haemorrhoidectomy generally does not cause permanent bowel movement changes or faecal incontinence. However, temporary changes in bowel movements, such as constipation or difficulty in passing stool, can occur during the healing process.

Haemorrhoidectomy is generally avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. Conservative measures, such as dietary changes and topical treatments, are preferred. Surgery may be an option if conservative measures fail or if complications arise.

Haemorrhoidectomy is uncommon in children, as haemorrhoids are less common in this age group. Conservative treatments are typically attempted first. In rare cases, surgical intervention could be necessary under the guidance of a specialist.

Haemorrhoidectomy has a low recurrence rate. However, the development of new haemorrhoids or recurrence can occur if predisposing factors, such as constipation or straining, are not adequately addressed after surgery.

Yes, dietary changes can promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation, which can help with the healing process after a haemorrhoidectomy. Consuming fibre-rich foods, staying hydrated, and avoiding excessive straining during bowel movements are recommended.

Haemorrhoidectomy can be performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as a stapled haemorrhoidopexy (PPH procedure) or transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD). These techniques offer advantages such as shorter recovery time and less post-operative pain compared to traditional haemorrhoidectomy.

Haemorrhoidectomy does not directly cause erectile dysfunction. However, certain factors such as pain, anxiety, or medication use during the recovery period may transiently affect sexual function. If concerns persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional.

Haemorrhoidectomy can generally be performed in patients with other medical conditions after a thorough evaluation and clearance from the primary healthcare provider. Factors like overall health, medication use, and the nature of the medical condition will be considered.

The coverage of a haemorrhoidectomy procedure may vary depending on the insurance plan and the indications. Consult with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and any pre-authorization requirements.
