Hello,
With the question “Can hemorrhoids of grade 4 have surgery after giving birth? ", the doctor answered as follows:
Hemorrhoids are divided into 4 levels, when hemorrhoids are at level 3, 4, surgery is indicated. You just gave birth to a baby and have grade 4 hemorrhoids, the problem of surgical treatment is set, but it is necessary to evaluate your hemorrhoids for complications such as bleeding, pain, embolism, when surgery requires lying down. Will hospital treatment affect the care of the baby? Currently, surgical treatment of hemorrhoids has two methods, hemorrhoid removal according to the classic Milligan-Morgan method and Longo surgery. You need to see a specialist in gastroenterology - anorectal surgery to identify hemorrhoids and choose the right method.
If you still have questions about the treatment of grade 4 hemorrhoids after giving birth, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
