Halo procedure for piles

[cardamomginger]

Having one tomorrow. Lucky me . It's in combination with a minor vaginal procedure, and will be under general.

Has anyone had one? Advice? What's it like afterwards? How long until doing a poo doesn't hurt like blazes?

Bumping??

Don't have any advice but as a piles sufferer (and too much of a wimp to have the op) just want to wish you the best of luck and hope it is not too painful afterwards.Come back and tell us how you get on!

Thank you! I will .

I haven't had this particular procedure, but have had anal skin tags removed.

Quite painful recovery - but the actual bowel movements weren't too bad.

Just take any laxatives offered and drink a LOT of water.

it'll be worth it.

How did you find it OP? I’ve been advised I need the HALO procedure but it’s been left to me to decide if to go ahead, can’t find many stories about it that aren’t a sales pitch on a hospital website!
