Who is this surgery for?
- Grade III internal hemorrhoids (prolapse with manual reduction required).
- Grade IV internal hemorrhoids (prolapsed and non-reducible).
- Thrombosed external hemorrhoids causing severe pain.
- Recurrent bleeding from hemorrhoids despite conservative management.
- Persistent symptoms like prolapse, itching, or discomfort not relieved by medication, dietary changes, or office-based procedures (e.g., banding).
- Mixed hemorrhoids (both internal and external) requiring definitive treatment.
How to prepare
- Complete a thorough medical evaluation, including history and physical exam by the surgeon.
- Disclose all current medications, especially blood thinners (e.g., aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel), which may need to be paused before surgery.
- Undergo any pre-operative tests as advised, such as blood work.
- Follow specific dietary instructions, which often include a light meal the night before and fasting (no food or drink) for 6-8 hours prior to the procedure.
- Use a prescribed enema or laxative the night before to empty the bowels.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure, as sedation or anesthesia will be used.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding: Some minor bleeding or spotting is common, though significant hemorrhage is rare.
- Pain & Discomfort: Some pain, swelling, or a feeling of fullness in the rectal area is expected post-operatively.
- Infection: Risk of infection at the surgical site, though minimal due to the sterile technique and cauterizing effect of the laser.
- Urinary Retention: Temporary difficulty in passing urine, especially in men.
- Recurrence: A small chance that hemorrhoids may recur in the future.
- Anal Stenosis: Rare narrowing of the anal canal if healing produces excessive scar tissue.
- Incontinence: Very rare risk of temporary or permanent minor fecal leakage, particularly of mucus.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Plan for rest at home for the first 2-3 days. Avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting for at least 1-2 weeks.
- Manage pain with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medications and stool softeners as directed by your surgeon.
- Take sitz baths (sitting in warm water) 2-3 times a day and after each bowel movement to soothe the area and promote healing.
- Maintain a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water to prevent constipation and avoid straining during bowel movements.
- Expect some bleeding with bowel movements for the first week or two. Use sanitary pads if needed.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing.
- Most patients can return to sedentary work within a week, but full recovery and resumption of all normal activities, including exercise, may take 2-3 weeks.

Priya Gupta, a 42-year-old accountant and mother of two, had struggled with painful, bleeding internal hemorrhoids for over five years. Her symptoms flared during stressful tax seasons and after her second pregnancy, making long hours at her desk agonizing. She tried countless over-the-counter creams and sitz baths with only temporary relief. Her general surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended a Laser Hemorrhoidectomy after a colonoscopy ruled out other issues, explaining it was minimally invasive with less post-op pain and a quicker return to her busy life. Priya was terrified of surgery but proceeded out of desperation. The procedure itself was quick under sedation. The recovery was uncomfortable for the first 48 hours, but significantly less painful than she feared. Within a week, she was back to light office work, and after two weeks, she was largely pain-free. Emotionally, she moved from years of quiet suffering and embarrassment to immense relief and regained confidence, no longer planning her day around her pain.
