Hi Everyone..
I have been suffering from Internal Hemorrhoids for last 10 years.. But it never hurt and would flare up once in 6 months or so. But last yr, I got a fissure too.. It healed in about 15 days and I got back to normal. In Oct of last year, I started a Keto diet and was severely constipated and both the Hemorrhoids and fissures came back with a vengeance. I have been suffering from pain for last 3 months now and won't go away.
I have tried medications and natural therapies, nothing seems to be helping. I am not able to concentrate on anything since then. I really know why they say "pain in the ass"
My Surgeon is suggesting to get both Lateral sphincterotomy and stapled hemorrhoidopexy at the same time to get rid of both once and for all. Is getting both Lateral sphincterotomy and stapled hemorrhoidopexy at the same time safe? I cannot imagine the pain with both procedures. I am feeling pretty tensed thinking about it. Kindly Advice....
Thanks in Advance.
