Question
Hello doctor, I just had a cesarean section 1 week ago and am breastfeeding. So, 1 week after cesarean section, can hemorrhoid removal surgery be performed? If not, how long will I have to wait before I can have surgery? Thank you very much.

Answer
Hi, can I have hemorrhoidectomy 1 week after surgery? The doctor would like to answer as follows:
In the case of 1 week after cesarean section, the doctor will prescribe hemorrhoidectomy when hemorrhoids have acute complications such as embolism, necrosis or heavy bleeding, medical treatment did not respond well. In cases of mild or moderate hemorrhoids, which respond to medical treatment, surgery (if any) should be considered at least 3 months after birth or cesarean section.
