Pooja Sharma, a 38-year-old accountant and...
Pooja Sharma, a 38-year-old accountant and mother of two young children, had struggled with painful, bleeding internal hemorrhoids for over five years. Her symptoms began after her second pregnancy and were exacerbated by long hours sitting at her desk. Despite trying high-fiber diets, sitz baths, and prescription creams, she experienced frequent flare-ups with throbbing pain, bright red bleeding during bowel movements, and a persistent feeling of fullness. Her symptoms became debilitating, making it painful to sit through her daughter's school events or play with her kids. Her general surgeon, Dr. Mehta, recommended a hemorrhoidectomy after confirming Grade IV internal hemorrhoids that prolapsed and could not be pushed back manually. Pooja was terrified of the surgery's reputation for painful recovery but felt she had no quality of life left. The procedure itself under spinal anesthesia was uneventful. The first week of recovery was intensely painful, requiring strong pain medication and causing anxiety about her first bowel movement. With support from her husband and mother, she diligently followed her post-op care: sitz baths, stool softeners, and a high-liquid diet. By the third week, the acute pain subsided significantly. Six weeks post-op, Pooja was pain-free, with no bleeding. Emotionally, her journey moved from years of silent suffering and embarrassment to initial fear and regret post-surgery, culminating in profound relief and regained freedom. She feels she has her life back and can be fully present for her family without constant pain.
