What does it feel like when hemorrhoids fall off?

During the hemorrhoid shedding period, there will be obvious anal swelling and discomfort, accompanied by bleeding and pain, but these are normal reactions to the shedding period and patients do not need to worry too much.

1. Anal distension and discomfort: The hemorrhoid shedding period mainly refers to the ligation after local ligation or band ligation after hemorrhoid surgery, and the ligation will cause the suture to fall off and the local reaction of the anus. It is mainly caused by varicose veins around the anus, and blood clots or venous thrombosis will form around the anus, so there will be an obvious feeling of heaviness and distension in the anus.

2. Bleeding: When performing hemorrhoid surgery, ligatures are required for ligation. During the period when hemorrhoids fall off, the local ligature will stimulate the wound and cause a small amount of bleeding. If the ligature falls off too early, the local blood vessels have not completely closed, and bleeding may occur when the ligature falls off. If the patient has not fully recovered, bleeding will also occur.

3. Pain: Ligatures are used during hemorrhoid surgery, which can cause some irritation and easily lead to pain.

During the recovery period, patients need to take good care of the surgical site, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid constipation, develop good bowel habits, and pay attention to a light diet.
