Why Haemorrhoidectomy Is Needed
Haemorrhoidectomy is recommended for grade III or IV (advanced, prolapsing) hemorrhoids that don't respond to dietary changes, topical treatments, or minimally invasive office procedures like banding. It's also used when hemorrhoids cause recurrent significant bleeding, thrombosis (a painful blood clot within the hemorrhoid), or severe prolapse that must be manually pushed back in.
Signs You May Need Haemorrhoidectomy
Warning signs include bright red bleeding during bowel movements, a painful lump around the anus, itching or irritation, and a feeling of fullness or incomplete emptying after passing stool. Hemorrhoids that protrude and don't retract on their own, or sudden severe pain from a clotted hemorrhoid, are indicators that surgery may be needed rather than conservative treatment.
Types of Haemorrhoidectomy
Conventional (open or closed) haemorrhoidectomy surgically excises the hemorrhoidal tissue directly and offers the most durable, definitive result for advanced disease. Stapled haemorrhoidopexy repositions prolapsing tissue using a circular stapling device rather than removing it, generally causing less post-operative pain, while newer techniques like Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation reduce blood flow to hemorrhoids with minimal tissue removal for milder cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is haemorrhoidectomy very painful?
It has a reputation for being one of the more uncomfortable recoveries among common surgeries because the anal area is sensitive, but pain is well managed with medication, sitz baths, and stool softeners, and it does improve steadily over one to two weeks.
How long is recovery after haemorrhoidectomy?
Most people return to normal activities within two to four weeks, though full comfort during bowel movements can take a bit longer as the surgical sites finish healing.
Will hemorrhoids come back after surgery?
Recurrence is uncommon after conventional excision, with success rates around 95%, though maintaining good fiber intake and avoiding straining helps keep new hemorrhoids from developing.
What can I do to make recovery easier?
Staying well hydrated, eating a high-fiber diet, using stool softeners, and taking warm sitz baths several times a day are commonly recommended to ease discomfort and support healing.
Are there alternatives to surgery for hemorrhoids?
Yes, for milder (grade I-II) hemorrhoids, options like rubber band ligation, sclerotherapy, or dietary changes are often tried first, with surgery reserved for more advanced or non-responsive cases; a colorectal surgeon can advise what's appropriate for your grade.
