Hemorroidectomy - any experience?

I’m getting close to a hemorroidectomy op and wondering if it’s worth it? I have an external one which can swell when I’m constipated- usually when I need more thyroxine. And a few internal ones. I find it hard to keep clean at times and sometimes it gets very itchy. It’s ok ish at the moment.

Im just wondering if it’s worth it - partly doing as I hope it will be easier to keep clean when I’m really old! But it may take 2-3 weeks healing.

Any experiences?

They’re stage 3 but one is external

Can't comment on the op but a bidet bottle can really help with cleaning. About £3 off eBay.
