How To Confirm The Presence Of Hemorrhoid After Treatment?
I had a hemorrhoid the size of a grape lanced yesterday. It is still bleeding today. I just assumed it would be gone after lancing it but the hemorrhoid is still there. Will It go away on it s own and just shrink away on it own? ---or because it s still there, does this mean the lancing didn t work?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history about a grape size hemorrhoid, that was lanced yesterday. It is still bleeding and you assumed that it might have gone away. It is still there, wants to know whether it will go away on its own or shrink away and does this mean that lancing did not work My thoughts: First of all the hemorrhoid is never lanced as it can bleed to death. Hence the most probable thing that was lanced must have been a small hematoma or an abscess. Please get a confirmed diagnosis. If this is a small abscess, it will go away with additional anti-inflammatory and antibiotic. Take laxative to have smooth bowel movement and have Sitz bath in a tub with warm water. Attend the follow up and follow the instructions given to you and you will be fine soon. Body also takes care of the healing, we just assist the healing.
