Question
Hello doctor,
I cut grade 4 mixed hemorrhoids with an electric knife. After a few days, I had a very painful bowel movement and there was blood in the stool. When not defecating, there is mucus and blood seeping into the tampon. So the doctor asked me if pain with anal bleeding after hemorrhoidectomy is okay? Is my incision infected? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is pain with anal bleeding after hemorrhoidectomy okay? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have pain, bleeding after hemorrhoidectomy, these symptoms alone are not enough to assess surgical site infection. The above symptoms are a common process after surgery for grade IV mixed hemorrhoids.
You still soak the anus, clean the anal area. If symptoms increase such as pain, heavy bleeding, you should see a gastroenterologist for treatment.
If you still have questions about pain and anal bleeding after hemorrhoidectomy, 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.
