What Causes Swelling Around Hemorrhoid After Sclerotherapy?
Question: I had an injection to shrink hemmorhoids and later a mass now protrudes from my anus and leaks fluid. Will it go away?
Brief Answer:
It is fairly normal for that to happen. Don't worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
You must have had an Injection Sclerotherapy done. In this sclerosant material would have been injected. After sclerosant is injected then the Hemorrhoid does swell up for a few days and then later it shrinks back and it does not lead to any problems thereafter.
So do not worry. It seems to be fine.
However, if you have pain or bleeding then do show it to your Doctor as in that case you might need a course of antibiotics.
Take care and do let me know if there are other queries on this issue.
