![]() ![]() Had 3 bandings of internal hemroids - 1 band at a time at 2-3 week intervals (do not let your doctor band more than 1 at a time or you will be in excruciating pain) dull ache for first 24 hours but nothing a hot bath couldn't fix, definitely recommend getting the banding done if you have internal hemroids. I can't wait to have a normal butt again! Anyway, I hope to be able to update this in a week or two with good news of a satisfactory result. However, if you are having a hemorrhoid removed, that is an entirely different story and I am sure that is much more painful. Don't be deterred by all the horror stories. If you are only getting a tag removed, it's really not that big of a deal. Pain has been a 4/10 at the absolute worst times, which is immediately after going #2, and that only lasts a few minutes. I wrote this to encourage others to get the procedure done if you are on the fence! I was so scared to have it done and it is not NEARLY as bad as I was expecting. Now it just feels like having hemorrhoids, but I think that is just due to the swelling. However, I am still able to walk around and I am not in any serious pain. ![]() It feels even more swollen today than yesterday. Bm was more painful today than yesterday, and there was still a considerable amount of blood. Today is day 3 (2 days post procedure) and I am in a little bit of pain. This is normal apparently, and I have faith that it will improve. It is swollen in the exact pattern of the actual tag that I had removed. I did look at the tag and so far, it does not look any better than it did before surgery. The rest of the day was fine, very little pain. I am also wearing period pads so everything is well contained and I showered after as well. Gross, I know, but I did not want to sit on the toilet for a long time and make the pain worse or cause further dilation of the vessels. I did not try to clean myself up till the pain subsided 15 minutes later. Also, there was a lot of blood in the toilet after I went. The bm itself did not hurt, but I did experience aching after and I had to lay down almost immediately to get over the pain. The following morning, I woke up with literally no pain whatsoever. I did not have any real pain the day of the procedure. I walked home after the procedure and everything was fine. He used an electrical device to cauterize the tag and left the wound open (no stitches). The lidocaine shots did not hurt because the surgeon did them very slowly. I had it done in the office under local anesthetic. I always had to keep baby wipes on me or use the bathroom at home. It also caused irritation when I ran, and made it more difficult to wipe. It made me self conscious and was hurting my sex life. I have been dealing with this skin tag since the age of 18 when I had a bad case of external hemorrhoids. I had a lima bean sized anal skin tag removed 2 days ago. ![]()
