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.

I was a total wreck before...
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
