Yes, haemorrhoidectomy is a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced surgeon. It provides long-term relief from symptoms such as pain, bleeding, and discomfort.
Initial recovery usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, while complete healing may take a few weeks. Following dietary advice, medications, and proper hygiene helps speed up recovery and reduce discomfort.
The chances of recurrence after haemorrhoidectomy are low, especially when patients follow lifestyle and dietary recommendations such as a high-fiber diet, adequate hydration, and avoiding straining during bowel movements.
