default
Posted on Thu, 18 Sep 2014
Question: i am suffering from acute chronic Fissured Hemorrhoids since last 8 months.
No bleeding but severe pain after defection, last for many hours.
now, Doctor advised STARR Surgery, am fearing the same.
Cant understand, what to do?

Anus opening gets tight in case complete defection is not achieved and painful.
On complete defection pain is minimal.
One Fissure at the opening, swells and pains, peanut size hemorrhoid.
Not protruding out, sometimes on pressure defection protrude and go back in.
Internal pain spreads to both hipps.

Brief Answer:
Instead go for something non invasive

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

What I understand from your information is that the hemorrhoids are around grade III

If you are scared of STARR I would suggest you go for something non invasive like Doppler guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation

This procedure is evidence based and has minimal postoperative pain

You can be back to work from the next morning

Hope this helps

Brief Answer:
I would still try RAR

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX

I am impressed the way you have presented your history

It seems you are a medical person anyway people like you make our job easier

Considering the fact that you have grade III hemorrhoids and MR Defecogram shows a rectorectal intussception, With over a decade of experience with the procedure I would give rectoanal repair a fair chance in your age group

But if the same procedure in not available in your town then STARR is the next best option

Out of the way what is the biopsy report of the sessile polyp ?

Also if you can courier me the MR Defecogram DVD or if you can share it online, I would be in a better position to help

Hope this helps

Dear Doctor,
Great-full for your advice and support.
Thx for the compliment.
It's just that I am suffering, my job is to generate systematic reports, therefore attempted to convey in the best way I could.

Biopsy reports received today, on phone, yet to be collected is NEGATIVE.
"Mild Variation of
Lamina prepria shows chronic inflamation,
No eves envy of Malignancy"

Defecogram CD was not given to me,
However would attempt requesting the same at Inamdar Hospital, XXXXXXX
As described by the technician, the abnormality was not major
But slight, As felt by me on applying pressure to defecate the GEL, I felt
Only little spreading towards by Hips/ bumps, On inspecting the extract, feel about 15% remained inside. 30 mins post, I defected the remaining gel along with stool, my pain went away and felt so relieved. Doctor opinion'd the report is not as serious, could be attempted to be corrected with Biofeedback method, but advice STARR for guaranteed suction.
The visual of the slide also shows 15-20 % bulge.

I live in Mumbai( Navi Mumbai), originally from XXXXXXX so either places convenient for treatment.

I tried allopathy, diet management, Ayurvedic, Homeopathy - surprising could
Not achieve cure !!!

Awaiting your advice
Regards
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Biofeedback and RAR

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX

Thanks for writing in again

With passage of time I have generated a habit of interpreting personality from the XXXXXXX and organised hard disks, so the compliment came out spontaneously

Coming to your issue, I would suggest you try Biofeedback and RAR, try searching for the same in XXXXXXX or else.....
XXXXXXX is not far, I have not less than 100 patients in XXXXXXX

You can fly back the same day of surgery

Rectoanal repair is apparently non invasive

You may also google for the authenticity of the facts

Hope this helps

Dear Doctor,
But, How would this be corrected ?-
1. "Severe descent of the anorectal junction, Mild anterior and mild posterior rectocoeles with rectorectal intussception."
2. "Lamina prepria shows chronic Severe Inflammation" - Colonoscopy Report.
3. ODS- Obstructive Defection Syndrome.
4. Constipation
Then,
1. Internal Hemorrhoid
2. External Hemorrhoids & Fissures.

Brief Answer:
Phase wise manner

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX

As I had mentioned earlier I would prefer going for a phase wise manner

1. Internal Hemorrhoid
2. External Hemorrhoids & Fissures.

Will be managed with calibrated dilatation and/or sphincterotomy clubbed with hemorrhoidal artery ligation

2. "Lamina prepria shows chronic Severe Inflammation" - Colonoscopy Report.
3. ODS- Obstructive Defection Syndrome.
4. Constipation

Will be managed medically and rectoanal repair

1. "Severe descent of the anorectal junction, Mild anterior and mild posterior rectocoeles with rectorectal intussception."

Will comment once I see the MR Defecogram

Hope this clears your doubts
Regards

Dear Doctor,
On your advice,
I would get my hemorrhoid and fissure treated, later find cure to the ODS.
Once more need your advice.
Found your profile, you are the best.
I may be prepared for Ayurveda Thread Treatment -
Kshara therapy, instead of RAR as it is stated to be 100% satisfactory results as compared to RAR with 89%.
Only if the pain during and post is manageable and tolerable.
No one seems to be commenting on the pain.
Do they also take support of Allopathy pain management meds?
What could be the ratio of pain in both the procedures (comparison)

Brief Answer:
Can Not Comment On KS

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in again

Just to inform you about my ethics, all these twenty seven years I have refrained from commenting on a procedure not related to my specialty

I can assure you of my skills but will never criticize any one else

When my patients argue on this issue I just tell them to have one experience and then get back to me

The pain in RAR as per the International multicentre study I had participated in was not more than 2-3 on VAS

KS I can not comment ask a patient who has undergone the same

Hope this helps
