Hello doctor,
I have just had surgery to remove external hemorrhoids for 10 days, but the wound is still itchy, red and has pus, moreover the wound looks like it has not been stitched and is open. So the doctor asked me if the red swollen external hemorrhoid wound is dangerous? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Resident Doctor Le Thanh Tuan - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Nha Trang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Is the red swollen external hemorrhoid cut dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Wounds of external hemorrhoid surgery usually have to be left open and take time for the wound to heal on its own, so the wound will feel like swelling, itching and a little mucus discharge. You can monitor more at home, clean the wound after having a bowel movement. Add enough fiber, drink plenty of water 3 liters / day, practice the habit of going to the toilet daily, wash after cleaning with warm water, and soap at home.
If you still have questions about the red swollen external hemorrhoid cut, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
