Question:
Hello Doctor,
I am 25 years old and have undergone a laser hemorrhoidectomy. I plan to get married in the next 2-3 years and would like to have children. May I ask can patients who have undergone hemorrhoid treatment have a safe pregnancy? I have heard that pregnancy increases the risk of hemorrhoids and that symptoms may worsen for those with a history of the condition. What can I do to prevent a recurrence? Thank you, Doctor

Response by Dr. Nguyen Hung Cuong, Master - Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Urology Center, Vinmec Times City International Hospital.
Hello,
Regarding your question, "Can patients who have been treated for hemorrhoids safely become pregnant?", here is my response:
Hemorrhoids are a condition involving the vascular system of the anal canal, including arterioles, veins, arteriovenous connections, smooth muscle, and connective tissue, all covered by the normal epithelium of the anal canal.
Pregnancy can exacerbate hemorrhoids, but you can still safely become pregnant. To minimize risks and manage symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a specialist for a thorough evaluation before conception.
If you have any further concerns about hemorrhoids, you can visit a Vinmec Healthcare System hospital for consultation and examination.
Best regards!
