I had a doctor band my external hemorrhoid and I did not know and I thought I met my maker. (He told me I was being dramatic and only 1-2% of people feel pain) He scheduled me for a return appointment and I canceled it and went to another doctor. I'm getting surgery now because I was in worse shape than the original doctor let on. Had I known banding on external was NOT a thing I would've spoken up for myself. I ended up in the ER as a result of pain and they had to put me on a drip because I was NOT doing okay. Thank you for your passion and explaining this!

Wow never knew about this. My dad had his surgically removed but I've just had to learn how to live with mine and calm the flare down or eliminate minor flares from becoming what I dealt with in my younger year's. I'm 33 now and had them since I was 13. Scary seeing poeple struggle with them because I remember what I went through trying to graduate Marine Corp boot camp with a massive flare. I've never been to a doctor just used to minor methods I stumbled upon when I was 22-24 range. Ones kinda extreme and painful and only as a last resort but instantly works. Then the other prevents flares and stops massive flares and is zero pain. So I just learned how to live with it and avoid doing things to cause flares aswell stopping it from becoming a flare.

Okay, I went to three doctors and two say they are stage one (internal) even though one bled. One said the bleeding was a fissure and the other said to use hydrocortisone acetate, as needed--and that they can do a lot at this stage--after he did the colonoscopy. The third was ready to use the O’Regan method after a colonoscopy and have me come back several times, even though he only spent three minutes with me and did not examine me, charging $450 for the three minutes. Three doctors with three outcomes. I went with door #2.

They put me to sleep when I woke up they told me the hemorroid has been removed but when I got home I still see it hanging and I thought they lied to me. As an Asian living here in america I feel like they don't take me seriously about many thing from the banks, restaurants and especially doctor offices. Do you have any ideas on this?
