Does banding of a hemorrhoid hurt? I had successfull LIS surgery in June of this year, and don't want to go thru the pain and hurt of the recovery process for that surgery. I now have a hemorrhoid, and my doc is suggesting banding of the hemorrhoid if the one month of using prescription medications doesn't help. I using the Analpram Advanced Kit she prescriped for me, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything with regard towards mitigating the hemorrhoid. Each BM results in some blood in the water and a bit of short lived pain during the BM. The pain passes pretty quickly, and if that is all I had to live with I could probably accept it. But the blood in the toilet water bothers me quite a bit. It is not excessive, probably about a teaspoon or two at most.
