After carrying hemmoroids for 31 years, I thought it was time for me to have them removed. On April 25th, I had surgery to remove them. 3 days later, I came home from the hospital with not only a massive pain in my behind but also a screaming urinary infection in which my fever did not break for two weeks. To add insult to injury, the sutures the doctor used were the disolveable kind. The internal ones desolved twice as fast as they should have resulting in massive hemmoraging a week ago sunday. Back in the hospital for another 2 days. My point to you is this. If you are considering having this surgery for the fun of it,... ... don't. I cannot remember a more miserable time of my life. I am now finally on the mend. I think it is down hill from here. But getting over the top is HELL!
