Many people wonder "should hemorrhoids be cut?" or "Can hemorrhoidectomy come back?". In fact, to answer these questions, it is necessary to determine whether it is an internal hemorrhoid or an external hemorrhoid. Internal hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that arise deep inside the anal canal while external hemorrhoids are hemorrhoids that arise outside the anus. When internal and external hemorrhoids fuse together to form a unified mass, it is called mixed hemorrhoids. On the issue of "should hemorrhoids cut?".
Master, Doctor Vu Van Quan - Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery - Vinmec General Hospital, Hai Phong, said that external hemorrhoidectomy should only be performed when seeing complications such as thrombosed hemorrhoids or causing anal inflammation, causing itching. For grade 2 and 3 internal hemorrhoids, it will be intervened by rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy and surgery. For mixed hemorrhoids, grade 4 hemorrhoids, hemorrhoidectomy will be performed by classical methods. There is no established method as the best hemorrhoid treatment. “Can hemorrhoids come back?” then the answer is absolutely possible. Especially for patients with cirrhosis, often wear a belt.
