What are the dangers of hemorrhoid surgery for women?

For diseases like hemorrhoids, if the condition is not very serious, patients will generally take conservative treatment. They should develop good eating habits, follow the principle of light diet, and develop good bowel habits. They should not sit for long periods of time and exercise more, etc. These can all assist in the treatment of hemorrhoids. However, if conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment may be required. So what are the possible side effects of hemorrhoid surgery for women?

The dangers of hemorrhoid surgery for women:

① Slow recovery and postoperative pain:

The principle of laser treatment for hemorrhoids is to use optical energy to generate high temperature to carbonize and cut hemorrhoid tissue.

Therefore, when laser is used to remove hemorrhoids, the surface of the remaining wound will also become necrotic due to high temperature burning, thus increasing the actual wound surface.

The shedding of the surface necrotic tissue can easily cause massive bleeding, which often occurs about 2 weeks after surgery, causing great pain to the patient and even endangering his life.

The wound begins to heal only after the eschar falls off, so the healing time is greatly delayed.

Laser treatment of hemorrhoids also needs to be performed under anesthesia. The operation is of course painless, but the high temperature causes local tissue protein coagulation, blockage of tiny blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, and obvious local edema. Therefore, the postoperative pain is more severe than that of general surgery.

② Laser is an instrument, and you must be familiar with its various performances to reduce accidents. Its controllability (such as laser dosage and accurate surgical positioning) is not as easy to master as surgery;

③ For deeper wounds, laser cannot stop bleeding and two ligations are still required to stop bleeding;

④ The cutting and punctate cauterization during the operation must be accurate and the depth must be well controlled, otherwise it is very easy to damage the normal skin or muscle tissue, resulting in adverse consequences;

⑤ Although laser hemostasis is timely, the scab will fall off after a period of time after the operation, making it easy to bleed.

Advantages of laser treatment for hemorrhoids

The specific methods of laser therapy are divided into several types, including laser cutting, laser ablation, laser irradiation, and laser light acupuncture.

Although laser cutting has many complications in removing hemorrhoids, if low-power, long-focal-length irradiation therapy is used, it will actually accelerate local blood circulation, enhance metabolism and tissue cell nutrition.

This will significantly improve hemorrhoid inflammation, anal edema, slow wound healing, etc.

Therefore, many hospitals now no longer use its "cutting and hemostasis" function, but use its "improving blood circulation and promoting metabolism" function.
