I want to say fml… there I’ve said it.
Healing is going ok. Phew.
Then I get my period, a bit of a panic as I think my stitches have totally split… phew, no and thankfully the fibroid removal has seemed to work. No pain, less blood.
Then…. 5 days post op, I think I’m getting piles.. 7 days post op.. itching and oh yes after an inspection I definitely have. This I discovered after 5 pm on the Friday so unable to contact my nurses. Off to Asda I go, with the fella driving, but did need the fresh air. Suppositories and cream got, my post wee/poo, as well as the water bottle squirter, now it’s, pat, dryer and then sorting the backside out.
on a plus note, the sitz bath is amazing… got one with a squirty thing and works a dream.
I will be asking the GP for advice on Monday and and I calling the nurses. I’ve had piles before, but not this big nor as painful.
If you’ve got this far, sorry about the waffle.
Has anyone had them post surgery?
If so, how did they go?
Did you have to have them surgically removed?
Any advice?
Thank you x
Oh Jojomamabee
I’m really sorry to read you’ve now got this issue to contend with after your surgery-as if that wasn’t enough in itself!
I’ve been lucky enough never to experience piles, but I’ve had a search in the vulva group to see if anyone has mentioned developing them after surgery, and unfortunately drawn a blank.
I hope you can get some advice from the nurses on Monday, and that you’ll post again to let us know how you get on. Meanwhile, the sitz bath will be your best friend to help ease everything down there, and I know from others who use one that they find it very beneficial to poo under the water in the sitz bath to make things easier. Anything to help with the discomfort is good!
Maybe you’ll get some more replies now I’ve nudged your post to the top of discussions again.
