Is it necessary to see a doctor for anal itching one month after hemorrhoid surgery?

Question:

Hello, doctor. I had hemorrhoid surgery a month ago, but now I'm experiencing itching in my anus when I go to the bathroom. I find it more comfortable when I squat, but going to the bathroom frequently is a bit uncomfortable. Could you let me know if it's necessary to see a doctor for anal itching one month after hemorrhoid surgery? Thank you very much.

Hello, in response to your question: "Is it necessary to see a doctor for anal itching one month after hemorrhoid surgery?", here’s my answer:

It is unclear which method you used for hemorrhoid surgery. If there was any intervention in the anal area, such as external hemorrhoid removal or skin excess excision, the scar area might become inflamed and itchy after surgery.
