Question
Hello doctor,
I just had hemorrhoid removal surgery with the longo method for 8 days. There is currently no pain at the surgical site. But since the surgery is complete, I always have a dull stomachache and have a bowel movement 1-3 times a day. Until yesterday afternoon, I had abdominal pain and had bloody stools 6 times. Dark blood with little stool and little mucus. I've been on a temporary hemostatic medication. Now when I go to the bathroom, I have a little blood. I'm so worried! The doctor advised me to have abdominal pain and blood in my stool after cutting hemorrhoids with the longo method, what should I do? I thank Dr. much sir.

Hello,
With the question "What to do when you have blood outside after cutting hemorrhoids with the longo method?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Longo hemorrhoidectomy is a quite popular hemorrhoid treatment surgery in the country and in the world. On the 8th day of Longo surgery, pain and blood in stools are abnormal signs after surgery, in some cases after hemorrhoidectomy, irritation of the rectum causes frequent bowel movements. When there is blood and mucus in the stool, you need to go to the doctor and re-evaluate the location of the longo hemorrhoid removal and whether the lesion in the rectum is the cause of the blood and mucus. The doctor will give specific instructions on treatment and diet after hemorrhoidectomy.
If you still have questions about blood in the stool, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
