Hello all, looking for some feedback…I’ve recently done a rubber band ligation on Friday morning (Jan 27th). Did 3 internal hemorrhoids.
Pain was pretty bad, but slowly was getting better until this morning when I had my first BM.
The BM itself wasn’t too bad, but I’ve been in so much pain afterwards, and there is a giant external hem now. I’m not sure if that’s a prolapse of an internal or a new external.
Really anxious and in a lot of pain. The doctors office who did it is closed until tomorrow. Has anyone had a similar experience with rubber band ligation?? Any help would be greatly appreciated ..

maybe get a proper op and be done with it

Thank you, and he said my body didn’t respond to it well so he won’t be doing it again..I have no idea what the outcome will be now..

from what i've read here and in other places, banding is mostly only effective for cauterization relative to newer methods.  really surprised that in your case, it was the opposite of even that expectation.  hope you get well soon!

does he expect the eventual outcome to be successful?  

So I went back to the specialist yesterday. Told him everything and he had a look.
He said essentially my body reacted to the banding very poorly, and that there’s nothing they can do at this point. They have to let it just run it’s course, and that it will get better. He said it may seem like a lot of blood, but it should stop and I should be okay. It is still bleeding today, which is worrying..not sure what to even do at this point….
