Haemorrhoid treatment success stories

Cat_M

Chronic history here. Finally decided to get something done so plucked up courage and got haemorrhoidectomy despite being given 60%success rate. 4 weeks of misery in recovery but got the guts of 2 good years of relief . Unfortunately I'm right back to square one wondering if it's worth getting done again because now i know how awful the recovery is.

Has anyone had other measures eg banding and had success longterm ot even got the original procedure repeated?

Forme it's not pain or bleeding.. It's unbearable itching that is at it's worst at night so keeps me awake. Suppositories are only for short term use and ointments don't work. I've tried a couple.

Not much to offer apart from mentioning I got these whilst being prescribed a course of opioid pain killers.

They are straight from hell.

Tried increasing dietary fiber and water intake? (probably an obvious question)

I add bran to everything now, cereal, oatmeal, sodas, beverages, whenever I have to use painkillers.
