@@Mel0763 Thank you so much for saying so. Thank you for noticing.
What are the typical cost? Having a hard time finding a doctor under my insurance.

@@yourfriendlyproctologist I'm in seattle, a bit too far away. Thanks for the kindness.
I just had banding done lately luckily felt no pain & no bleeding.. thank you God 😍 good content Doc 👍
5 days have been done of banding. 1 hemorrhoid has gone other one is still there. Where should I expect it to be dropped?
I’ve just had my banding done and could only take one band because it was absolutely excruciating. Top five most painful things I’ve ever gone through in my life. The doctor did not prepare me for how painful it was. I could barely drive home. I don’t know how long this will last, but I am in an unbearable amount of pain. Seeing this video makes me think something definitely went wrong. Praying!
my 2nd band were supposed to be done today but the pain was so hard Dr canceled the procedure.
How you doing now?
@@redbrick9634 I'm not bleeding anymore, so I decide not to do any other procedure to remove the other 2 (I chicken out my self, on the pain) thanks for asking.
I'm going through the pain, 10 minutes after was done it's been the worst pain in the world. Is day 4th and it's worst than my c section and heterectomy. I was not prepare.
I had a similarly agonizing experience and happy I fed that bluntly to the team. Surprisingly all the pain went away the following day. Still waiting for mine to fall off (really curious haha)
This really made me feel at ease. My doctor did not prepare me for this. Extremely painful until the Tylenol kicked in. Still on day one and really looking forward to the pain subsiding in the next few days. Very excited to hear in some of the comments that it fixed the problem. I was losing so much blood in the past 2 years that I ended up needing multiple blood transfusions and iron infusions. My hemoglobin got down to 51 and I never want to experience that again. I will deal with 6 weeks of discomfort if it means that this will finally be a thing of the past.
Same it's happening to me but still too afraid to do the procedure 😣
What procedure are you talking about, the banding?
How was your recovery? Did the pain last long?
@@ellengrace4609yes unbelievable pain in my anal area
I have 3 grade 3 hemorrhoids, I had them banded (at the doctor’s discretion) and will need a few more banding treatments again after I heal. The first day was about a 3/10 on the pain scale. I took Advil and had virtually no pain after that. After the bands did their job though, I had a major flare up and it’s never hurt this bad before (going to the bathroom) and so I am hoping my hemorrhoids heal and go back to their normal state. I eat extremely healthy foods and use soluble Organic Psyllium Husk (none of the Metamucil garbage with artificial colorings and sugars). Keep strong my friends!
Hello. Just was wondering if you had any updates? Has the banding worked for you? I had the surgery in 2018 and I've gotten some back that tend to flare up at least once a month. I also use the organic psyllium husk but I've been told by my doctors that I am pre-disposed to them. They suggested I try the banding procedure, but I'm a little apprehensive about it. I would try it if it works, since I definitely don't want the surgery again.
Day 2 of my banding. Almost no pain. Didn't even take pills. Totally recommend ❤
Thank you for all these videos ❤
Did they use anesthesia while doing the procedure?
@@tajwarchowdhury22no, I felt very painful at the moment the rubber band hits it (4 times - 2 bands) the sound still in my mind, after that it was quite painful, I have feeling want to go pee but can't pee. Day after, no more pain (1/10). I hope I don't need to do second time (20% of patients need to do it according to the surgeon 👨⚕️)
5 days have been done of banding. 1 hemorrhoid has gone other one is still there. Where should I expect it to be dropped?
I had the total opposite experience. I think my Hemorrhoid got worse.
Just done my colonoscopy+ banding. You are a great help doctor. God bless You
SOOO glad I watched this because he is describing exactly what I have currently. Had the banding done about two weeks ago and today when using the bathroom I was bleeding like crazy and so I got concerned. It appears that the bands may have come off and now I have that wound and there looked to be a clot. Anyway thanks for the video Doc! It eased my nerves and mind.
I had it done and no pain at all. Took about a minute for the Dr to do it.
Your lucky
I think it depends on the stage of the hemorroids, my is stage 3, and is really painful.
I know! Just had mine done at 10:20 this am and I couldn’t believe how fast it was. No pain, no bleeding!
Im ao blessed in only one procedure the recovery is worst it took me 2 weeks .. but after that it feels so good.. its worth it
5 days have been done of banding. 1 hemorrhoid has gone other one is still there. Where should I expect it to be dropped?
Rode my bike from uptown Manhattan to the Bronx after the procedure had a Great doctor from Mt.Sinai!
😯😯😯😯😯
Just had first banding experience. Had to take a fleet enema in the first place and that was so painful, like putting hot sauce up my rectum so that didn't help since I was in excruciating burning pain in the office. Then the procedure was uncomfortable and painful going home. Pain was a 10/10 which freaked me out. Dr assured me after 24hrs I should be all good no pain, take ibuprofen around the clock. I was pissed because that did not apply to me, maybe for others but not me. I was in pain until the 3rd day (now) where the pain dropped off from a 10 to around a 4 all of a sudden. I'm assuming the band fell off with the hemorrhoid. But throughout that time I was in so much pain whether I'm lying down, sitting, standing just pacing around. Only relief was sleeping. Meds helped a little. And going to the bathroom was a nightmare, loose stool first day, couldn't go bathroom 2nd day too painful, and 3rd day I finally managed to start going. Traumatized, not sure if I want to go through that all over again. Dr. was board certified. I wanted to share this because I was googling all day to see if anyone was similar to me having a terrible experience and I read the comments here.
I would not expect your story after a banding. 10/10 pain from a banding is not what you signed up for!
Hey bro.. after how many days ur hemroid get tootaly gonw .. pls rply
@@kankangaming7168 its been a while now but id say 4 to 5 days
As a chronic pain patient of 30 years I do sympathize with you. No one should have to suffer with such awful pain. When there is help. Your not going to be addicted unless you are a addictive person. Most are not. Just want to live a near normal pain free life. But authorities will not let us. I am sure if they need pain meds they can get them.
Thanks for being honest about the procedure and particular the pain that comes with it.
Day 2 after banding a grade 2/3, Definitely not comfortable, mild pain.
Will report progress for any who are considering this procedure.
I put myself on 800mg ibuprofen 2-3 times a day. And added a extra stool softener mid day.
Edit: it’s been 2 months since the procedure, and my symptoms are gone, very happy with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to go back for more if needed. Fully healed within 5-6 weeks, discomfort gone after week 2 into week 3.
I highly recommend anyone who is suffering on a daily basis to just take time to invest in yourself, it is only as embarrassing as you make it.
how'd it go dear?
did it work
@@kranch173 it did indeed. I can’t believe I waited so long to go get this done. Only one treatment needed for me, but I would definitely do it again rather than suffer
@@peterobrien2537 went well, great results. No further symptoms
@Spkr4TRUTH
Next week I am going in for another banding.
He said it is a BIG grade 2- hoping it will work.
I was put under for banding last week. First day was intense pain. Percosets did nothing for me. Couldn’t sleep first night. I took Percs in shorter time frame and that helped tremendously. However the first couple days was very painful.
Day 1: I got 3 bands with no numbing and tbh I’ve never felt pain like it but as the day has gone on it’s definitely eased, taking paracetamol and ibuprofen helps. As much pain as I am in just now, I feel it’s definitely been a good idea and to anyone worried about having this done, yes it’s painful but not impossible pain, more uncomfortable for a day or 2 (hopefully) and then you have your life back
I got 2 bands yesterday, the sound of rubber bands trapping it still in my mind (pap pap...). Today, the pain is reduced significantly (1/10), hopefully don't have to do more (there is a chance of 20% patients need treatment more than 1 times according to my surgeon)
i had banding done in April last year. It was mostly pain free I felt a bit uncomfortable for a day but that is it. I had 3 done one at a time. He did he procedure on a Tuesday the hemorrhoid fell off on Thursday. This has changed my life for the better. I should have done it years ago. If you have pain with this procedure your Doctor is not doing it properly go to someone else.
/seriously???? I’m on day 5 and they are all there
I had a great doctor he did one at a time I had 3. It was basically pain free. he did the banding on a Tuesday and the hemorrhoids came off on a Thursday . He did one per week.
@@mikezotaj😮
@@redminimaniac😮
Three times?
@@irisnunez5741 yes I had it done 3 times. My doctor did one at a time. It was pain free for the most part felt a bit uncomfortable but no pain
Just wanted to give a shout out to you Dr. Chung, thank you for making these wonderful videos :) To all of you out there, I just wanted to say you are not alone, I have also been through this procedure. My doctor did one banding and I did notice some bleeding for 1 day but after that it was gone. The throbbing sensation was there for a while and on top of that I was diagnosed with a chronic anal fissure so I had to use an ointment to put there even though I had the banding so it was a challenge and painful at times but I made sure to eat lots of fiber, drink lots of water and avoided fast food. I continued like this and then around the 4th week I got my period which was no fun lol. I felt muscle pain in the groin area and the place where the banding was done, I doubled my MiraLAX intake and this helped out quite a bit.
After that the throbbing sensation seemed to have gone away for a bit but then I went to get a chair massage and then guy patted down on my upper buttocks and now I am feeling a little throbbing in that area. Today is day 29 and I am trying to eat as much fiber and water as possible. (Cheat time: I did have some sweets and wings here and then but then went back on track with the fiber lol). I still feel a throbbing sensation but I think it may be the massage that I got.
I have to go back for follow up in about 13 days and I will let you know how it goes!
How are you feeling now I'm in the same situation but waiting to see a specialist
Day two after banding and colonoscopy.
The first day is excruciating. The pain is easing off now. I was told that there would be some pressure and discomfort. I’m calling B.S on the “discomfort”. It is excruciating.
That's why I don't want to do it. And I'm always bleeding out. Been needing blood transfusions 😢
@@irisnunez5741 make sure you’ve got pain meds and you’ll be fine.
I don’t regret doing it and I would do it again if necessary. Best of luck.
@@irisnunez5741but it’s not that way for everyone…I had banding done today at 10:20… no pain, no bleeding! My doc does only one hemm at a time
I've had over 30 bandings done in a 4 year period. A few of them were painful. Only had one that the pain was over the top. Its because it was close to the surface. My specialist has retired now. He told me that I'm chronic in producing them. He definitely said at no exception should I get them cut out. Anytime I had a appointment I would take three Tylenol or ibprophan.
Most of them were not painful but he would only do one at a time. Body does go into shock for at least a day... after the first day no discomfort. Seemed to work pretty well. Last time that this was done was Oct 2022... since then I've been trying to manage them with my prescription ointment and I have found that rinsing with cool to cold water helps keep the swelling down.
Been ryong to muster the courage to see the new Doctor for I'm not sure what he or she will do...
30 😱
I just did banding today for a severely bloodily hemorrhoids. Fingers crossed that it works. If this procedure doesn’t work i will get surgery.
OMG:
I got this procedure done, during the 90s.
At least I thought so.
Lots of pain, lots. Lots of bleeding. Three of these bandings have been scheduled. One for each week.
I got red alert pain, the day after, but still while it got worse, I had the second procedure. The doctor told me, we couldn't stop now, and it got worse after.
I didn't go for the third one, after it was confirmed, that I had a double anal thrombosis. It took three weeks until the pain went away and half a year, until that heavy bleeding stopped with every bathroom session.
I refused every medical procedure since then, still having problems, because I don't trust any doctor to be the right one for that spot of my body.
After watching your video a lot of things suddenly makes sense now.
This video and the one about your banding are the videos I watch almost on repeat, thank you for your channel!
Are you back to 100%? Your hemorrhoid was large enough to feel when you moved around, did you need additional banding on the same hemorrhoid?
Thanks for watching! I did not need another banding because my second one took care of it. Everyone is different though!
@@yourfriendlyproctologist5 days have been done of banding. 1 hemorrhoid has gone other one is still there. Where should I expect it to be dropped?
Very comprehensible explanation, thanks doc
I just had the procedure today (some 10 hours ago), and I have developed some chills and a tiny fever. Called the evening doctor, and was told to go to the E.R. if the temperatur reaches 38.5 °C. Fingers crossed everything is okay.
were you ok?! in getting this done today so naturally watching videos 😂
I had surgery Dec 2nd & this is the following day after. I am in excruciating pain 😞 thank you for this video cz I already knew the post op experience was not going to be pleasant but I didn't expect to feel like this after the numbing wore off smh
At least you were numbed.
What was the conclusion ?
@@Elemental_Buttahfly_II numbed for the day lol
@@rubiconoutdoors3492 had me two month post op appt on February 22... Healing is great
Yea at least they numbed you, I’m still in a lot of pain on and off 6 days after my first treatment. If you don’t have strong meds before the procedure, get them! Believe me!
Just had banding done yesterday. 1st day had some lower belly cramps that felt like period cramps or muscles spasms and the feeling that I needed to poo. (I actually went right after leaving the doctor’s office- she told me it was fine as long as I wasn’t pushing too hard and wasn’t sitting for a long time. Took some Tylenol and was fine. No more pain. Pain level of cramps- was about a 6, 2nd day- woke up with a little cramping and pressure again pain level about 4, but Tylenol did the trick again also had a small bowel movement. Headed to sleep now and feeling a little bloated but pain level at about a 2. No bleeding and a little pressure.
When i woke up from my banding i was in so much pain the doctor had to put his finger up there and manually remove 1 of the 3 bands and it instantly took away 50% of the pain. 14 hours later i have pooped out another band, so this leads me to believe i only have 1 band remaining out of the 3. I really hope this works and wasn't all for nothing. Still have moderate pain and pressure. Day 1 still as I'm writing this
I had banding done today by an experienced colorectal surgeon. It was done in the office. There is pain, but as I head into the evening, I feel throbbing and a sort of pressure. I do feel that the procedure was worth it, though, because the large hemorrhoid was very uncomfortable and problematic. We shall see how I feel in a few days.
How you feeling now?
Thank you so much for explaining this. I had three band done during a sigmoidoscope yesterday and the doctor didn't explain any of this all I got told by the a nurse was don't get constipated and when I told her that I have a number of different bowel issues that course constipation and other problems she just said oh and don't anything else so I was left not knowing anything about it and what to expect, today I'm in a lot of pain.
How do you feel now? Worth it? How long was the pain bad?
You said it should not be done for external hemorrhoids. I have what my Primary care provider says is an external hemorrhoid about the size of a small raisin. He told me I need to go to a Proctologist surgeon and get a "Hemorrhoid banding" done. He said it' a simple 5 or 10 minute procedure and after about a week the Hemorrhoid will detach and fall off on its own. He said if I don't get it done then it will just get bigger. I hope the surgeon will examine it and determine what's best to do.
Hello Doctor. I had mine done yesterday. 4 hems got banded. I feelt discomfort but not pain during the procedure. I think rush of adrenaline and the stress + ack of food that day made me faint shortly after I was out of the doctor office. I was still in hospital so thank to God they quickly lifted me up. The fainting was not due to procedure more of nerves. Anyways...I had a bad night with tightness, feeling of fullness in my lower belly (some refer to period like pains) and lots of gas. It feels like I have a need to have bowel movement but at the same time it feels like I fell backwards and hit myself on the tailbone really hard to describe where it actually hurts. Kind of inside you backside basically. I wasn't given any meds or painkillers. Here in UK we have Paracetamol which isn't helping much. I am scared to go to the toilet to pass my stool as I expect pain from hell. This was meant to be a routine procedure. It was like 3-5 min thing really but afterwords it is horrific for me.
Sorry to hear your story. I only bad 1 hemorrhoid at a time as complications can arise by doing more. Your story concerns me and I believe you need to see the doctor to be examined. You're right, Tylenol will do nothing for your pain.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist thank you for the answer Doctor. Today is much better. I passed stool with small blood lining but I guess that's to be expected. The lower belly pain is completely gone and there is just a bit of that tailbone feeling now and again. I wonder if this might be from the fainting. Perhaps I hit myself while fainting. Hospital called me yesterday to check if I am ok. I am hoping that tomorrow I feel much better with no pain at all. I found that in Europe the procedure is done for 2-3-4 hems at one time. In USA I think you take a bit more cautious approach but then patient goes through this several time. I am hoping this was the only time.
You described the pain I’m having perfectly! It’s a mix of menstrual cramps, tailbone ache and dull throbbing ugh 😑. Hope when I wake up tomorrow I feel a bit better. Tylenol did nothing at all but advil seems to be taking the edge off at least.
Are you talking about my case 😅 , I just had the procedure (3 days ago), the situation is as same as you described .. thx
How are you after some time?
Hi Dr. Chung, can you explain more about the size of haemorrhoid after banding? Does it get completely dry off? Or it can still be in a shape of grape or sultanas?
Im 38, I didnt know what was going on down there, I watched your videos, figured it was a roid. Went to Dr, said siguinoscopy was good idea, he confirmed it was and prolapsed. I go for banding next week. Little scared, my job is physical, I did take the following 6 days off though. Your videos gave me The confidence to go to the Dr. 👍 Thanks for posting.
All the best. Please keep us posted.
@@Ather178 first day after banding it felt like someone put a lego up there and left it. Like a low annoying ache. Day 2 barely any pain. Today is day 3 and feel fine
@@rubiconoutdoors3492 Glad to know you're doing fine! Thanks for the update.
@@rubiconoutdoors3492 r u hemorrhoid free now any symptoms at all ?
@@peterobrien2537 so I got banded 3 different times for the same one. The bands fall off after about 3 days and its a waste of time and about 4k total. Just learned u can push it in. So thats where were at.
Was banded yesterday. No pain right after but once the lidocaine wore off....Tylenol did nothing....I called the office and pain medication was sent to pharmacy which barely takes the edge off...sitz bath provides relief but once out of the tub the pain returns....I was not told about this degree of pain being possible...it's definitely 10/10.....just hoping this pain tapers off soon. I get relief when I sleep.
I went through banding procedure yesterday and have immense pain. How are you feeling now? Did hemorrhoids fell off?
Who did the procedure…a gastroenterologist (office) or colorectal surgeon
Colorectal surgeon
The worse pain I have ever experienced. Sheer agony. Glad some had no pain
Thank you so much...next week my banding will be done. 🙏🙏❤
Thank you for this information, Doctor.😊
Your vids are SO helpful thank you
As someone who is discussing this with the doctor. Thank you. I love my Doc, but he is not one for much talk. Lol you have put my feelings at ease.
Don’t use that doctor. I am using a doctor just like that and he didn’t even tell me how many he banded. Ima call tomorrow (after 5 days) since it’s a Monday and I can find out because literally all of them are still there.. wish my doc was intelligent enough to give me a hand out showing everything he did and didn’t do since he sucks so bad at communicating on top of actually doing the job correctly.
I'm on Day 1 of my procedure. I'm regretting the doctor's recommendation to do banding, because this feels worse than just having the hemorrhoid. Lord...
I have to do it but after watching some videos and this one I feel very paranoid😰
@@irisnunez4057 I would probably advise against it. Drink more water, increase your fiber and see how it goes naturally. Sending you positive vibes!
@@sirRI0T same bro .
I felt literally nothing after my procedure. Funny how everyone is different.
same here mine got worse suffering from pain and discomfort 😢
Day 1: My procedure was really painful. The first band was acceptable, the 2nd and 3rd were horrendous. I took painkillers right after the procedure, but did not help. The doctor did not use any numbing medicine. I felt like fainting afterwards and it took me about 10 mins to be able to start walking. I had pain all throughout the day and night that followed. Could barely sleep. I had a throbbing pain and a bowel-movement sensation all the time.
Day 2: I had a bowel movement the morning after banding. I dreaded it but it was actually okay. I took some laxatives the 1st day, so maybe that helped. Had a little blood on the stool. A little throbbing pain, just pressure feeling throughout the day.
Day 3: Still taking laxatives with electrolytes to ensure soft stools and avoid dehydration. No pain with bowel movement, lots of gas! Little pressure and throbbing pain, no painkillers needed.
Day 4: Lots of cramping and gas, painkillers needed. No rectal pain!
yes the first day is the worst, last night I couldn't sit, lay, sleep, walk, etc without crying like a lil baby 🤣. But my doctor was lovely and he was very understanding and reassuring ❤.
I had massive bleeding 3 weeks after banding of internal hemorrhoids. They clipped ulcers they found near the bands. I required 5 units of blood. Unfortunate complication, 2% chance.
😮Hope ur feeling better🙏🏽
This was very helpful Doctor …. Thank you!
God bless you and your family dr.chung...stay kind and humble always.. 💞💞💞💞
The comments have successfully convinced me to postpone this procedure as long as possible lol. I have two prolapsed hemorrhoids but they don’t really bother me unless I have a flare up.
Thanks for the vids doctor, I went from knowing nothing 2 days ago to feeling confident about my condition. Going to see my doctor soon.
How are you? Can a prolapsed Hemmroid be banded?
I just had it done, and I really don’t feel that much pain at all. My doctor said I’m tough.
Hi doctor, my brother have grade 2 hemmorhoids and he's fine with medication but once he stops the problem rises again. So his doctor recommended him to go with rubber band ligation to fix the issue. Is it worth it? But he's willing to do this. Also he's working in marketing field he need to travel on and off. So a 10 days of home rest is fine? Can he resume work and travel after 10 or 20 days? Hoping a reply from your side. Thank you!
The best way i can describe the pain after a banding feels like someone put a lego up there and just left it in there.not bad, but constant.
LOL!
🤣
Thank you for your excellent videos. I had RBL done one week ago and one of the bands is still attached. Should it be removed by the physician. I have had worse prolapsed hemorrhoids since the procedure, which was 2 bandings. I wonder if the procedure was not done properly.
Thanks for the detailed video on it. I got my banding done yesterday (actually one grade 3 and another one grade 2) both at the same time. A little pinching pain and some stiffness inside as if something tightly wrapped around (rubber band doing its job).. later today I am feeling a lot of discomfort because of slightly activated external hems.. perhaps i took sitz bath with very hot water (highly not recommended! learnt it the hard way) this activated pain in my external hems and I had to cool them off with icing since the pain killers were not that effective. Hoping to see things getting better in the coming days..
How are you now?
Hi doc .after the hems fall.then whats is the medicine need to control the bleeding.thanms
I had 4 of them in the same day ,the first day was miserable , second biggest pain i had in my life , i have 4 more to do and i'm just thinking about that pain again
Helpful video thank you
Thank you for your information.
Just got it done today. Was told one of mine was the size of her thumb 😬. I felt dull feeling until the band then it was sharp. Bumps on the road kind of sucked not going to lie. I am more aware of things like laughing and sneezing ect but 2 ibuprofen and it kicks it but took me a little bit for it to work. I got no numbing or anything but for a little bit of uncomfortableness I feel is worth it for how much they are a pain in the butt 😅. Little worried about my next bm but im sure I'll be okay if I time my ibuprofen right
Wish my Doc told me ANY of this! Just had it done
Thanks a lot Doc. What to eat/not to eat after Hemorrhoid banding procedure?
I believe fine tuning your diet and supplements to have soft stools everyday is important. This will be different from person to person.
pay first then knowledge..... remember .. money is power... knowledge is for the choosen ones
I just had banding done to three internal hemorrhoids yesterday. Today wasn’t fun in the bathroom but not much pain at all. I just want this over. 😢😢😢
I just had 2 internal hemorrhoid banding today it is August 21, 2023 surgery started around 12:10 PM I asked my doctor to inject me with Experal he also injected me a nerve blocker and on top of the other pain numbing medication‘s to my anal area, it’s now 8:46 pm and I have no pain at this time, I looked at your video and I wrote down the name of the injection, gave the paper to the doctor and it works miracles. I am so numb. It feels so weird, but I feel good so far wish me luck.
I need this procedure done. Wish would go go like yours. I don't want to deal with the way some people have posted here, the horrible pain and discomfort
Had it done last Friday, it throbes like crazy. Today's Monday it's getting better but I still feel some pain. No blood, some itching. Had the procedure done before but this time has been more traumatic.
I had this procedure in 3 sessions , the 2 first were ok a little bit discomfort but I was fine but the last one was horrible, very painful , I almost pass out because the pain, and after that the hemorrhoids were still there, the doctor told me that I should get the procedure again, because something went wrong !! I am furious , I have to do it again!!
I agree that is not an expected outcome. That sucks.
Thank you for informative videos. Could you recommend a surgeon like yourself in Las Vegas . I have an inner hemorrhoid that is coming out every time I go. I believe I need a banding to help my problem. Thank You .
Hi doctor you are very informative I had this done the doctor didn’t help me I told him to stop so many times and the sharp pain like stabbing me , the assistant said he did 3 internal banding , but the pain is non stop taking me to the ER , has been over 23 days and still having the sharp pain and pee pain I had to go to the urologist , I am
Very concerned something else happened he used that instrument inside of me over 5 times , I don’t know why , he doesn’t answer the phone and I want to report him , but he never stop when I scream for help and neither post care . My question is if is normal to use that instrument supposed over 5 times and to do 3 banding , the new GI said he still feel one hemorrhoid and 2 wounds . Thanks for explaining what I didn’t have over this bad experience i just want the pain go away and no more pain killers now they send me gabapenting and clonazepam
howr' u now?
Hi doctor. I had rubber band ligation done 4 weeks ago, still got little pain and very little bleeding sometimes depending on stools and still swelling. Also my period seem to have come back very lightly after years of it stopping. Is it normal for recovery to take so long? Ps the procedure was excruciating, had no anesthesia done . Thank you
Hi Priscilla how are you? I had three bands in one consultation It’s extremely painful im taking medication but it seems not to be working whenI went to evacuate its even more i don’t know what to do the doctor said it’s normal and this guy says it’s not painful
How many days did it take for your banding to fall?
Hi Priscilla, I hope you are doing well :) I had my period about 4 weeks after the procedure. I felt some intense groin and muscle pain. I think it may have been related with the banding. Maybe since we women have hormones that fluctuate this can cause different things like your case where your period returned with light bleeding. I feel like I am doing better although I still feel a throbbing sensation sometimes.
No anesthesia😱😱
Hi there, I m in a similar situation, got three done in one consultation, been ok, but after 6 weeks my pain and discomfort and bleeding has started again, can not bend down or sit properly, any information I read about banding, supposed to be painless and straight forward, but my experience after the procedure was horrible, but symptoms got better after one week, but don't understand why after 6 weeks, started again
Early in comment...
I am getting this done and nervous \terrified. Im so scared about the during, pre\post pain.
Ahhh so that is why i must feel to get it done. Makes sense.
I have fibromyalgia and so I'm in pain all the time. Part of my nervousness is how my pain will be verses non chronic pain people recovery.
And going to the bathroom levels of pain for me vs not me.
Do they still use the speculum? It hurst alot. I just had mine checked today.i almost passed out. Can i do surgery instead??
Doc, question for you. My GI doc said to not use Psylium and to use Miralax. Thoughts?
How do you check after the banding see if it got better??
With your physician, for sure.
I am about to have the banding procedure done at the VA they do not use any anesthesia there for the procedure. How much pain should I loom forward to during the procedure?
Hello dc. Can u tell after how many days after the banding it will heal fully
Thank you for sharing, and all the info.❤
Doc l have had this procedure twice already and both times it’s extremely painful with a feeling of throbbing. The first time didn’t work so lm hoping this second time it’s going to work. Everyone l know that has had this says it’s really painful for a few days afterwards, unless you have had this you won’t understand what type of pain this is. Maybe you should have this procedure in order to judge this discomfort, lm talking from experience.
To be honest, it sounds like the person performing your procedure may not understand the anatomy well enough.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist Please explain Doc ? It sounds as if there are a lot of bad doctors around. My doctors a surgeon in this field who trained in England and worked all over the world. He also did my colonoscopy and lm hoping he knows what his doing. Only twice in my life did l wish for death, during childbirth and after banding. 🤷🏼♀️ Thank you for taking the time in helping others.
Hey I had the banding procedure, about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I started bleeding for a week straight and it hasn’t stopped. Is this normal since it is going on for over a week? I also feel bloated because of the blood. Thank you!
I’m sorry, hoping everything started working itself out for you
Bleeding is very concerning especially when it kinda fills the Toilet Bowl 🥴 This what I'm dealing with B4 & After banding
I've been bleeding & have increased Bowel movements since July 7th 2023...The Bowl is half full with Red kinda dark Blood....I'm also seeing small Clots on tissue....July 27th I had a colonoscopy and the banding procedure for internal hemorrhoids.... today is August 4. I am having 6 to 10 bowel movements per day and the bowl is still filling with blood....... during the colonoscopy on 7/27 it was reported no blood found.. CT scan & sonogram All came back normal...... why am I bleeding so heavily 😢😢Today is Aug 4th 2023
Does the hemorrhoid shrink during this process? Or does it stay the same size before it falls off? I had it done on Sunday and today is Thursday (so 4 days ago), and I still feel the pressure from the band, but the hem hasn't shrunk yet. Thank you
you could feel some swelling 4 days out. The best way to know is to speak with your doctor.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist Thank you doc
Same i done mine last week onlt.now its 3 days.there a swelling and getting dark.but do you have tgis bad odor?coz i have mine.its so annoying
@@pantheantv how long did it take for your hemorrhoid to fall off?
why is there so much comments about a 10/10 pain when I hear doctors throw around “it’s only a small soreness”? I need answers because I want this done and I just can’t deal with pain that well. A painless procedure going to a 10/10?! Whattttt
Almost 24 hours after the procedure, the pain has died down a little but dang it was intense for the first bit. So much pain that I could feel it in my leg on the side it was done. Is this a normal thing?
hard to say. a conversation with your doctor would be the safest thing.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist maybe a different doctor? Sounds like his doctor hurt him by doing the procedure incorrectly.
how long does tiny mucus discharge last after banding , its 2 weeks now no blood But little white , yellow leak should wait more please reply ?
Banding does not hurt! I've had 10 banding and never had pain. Please research your doctors. I went to doctors who used crh o Regan system for banding and it was very comfortable
Was it a gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon who performed the banding?
@@LuisRodriguez-ef8vg gastroenterologist
Where they successful and also I'm wondering in how banding works does it remove the hemorrhoid perminantly or only revert to to grade 1
@@mejesticpie2297 it will come back after 1 or 2 years usually.
@@Sam-nl7nz hi there, if it comes back this early is there a benefit to banding?
It's been 3 weeks since I had 3 bands put on my piles. Last week was crazy painful, constant pain. I won't go for another appointment. I'd rather go private for laser. The pain is unbearable.
Very helpful - thank u
Very good information. My doctor is suggesting to do banding and suggesting me to go under anesthesia.
Is anesthesia needed ?
It is not needed.
Are donut pillows good for hemorrhoids? Do you recommend it to your patients and any good results?
I do not recommend donut pillows and I believe these can make you feel worse.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist is that because the center of gravity would be at the anus?
Good information
TMI warning!! I had my banding procedure today for internal haemorrhoids that prolapses every time I make a BM but I can manually push the haemorrhoids back in afterwards. The band has been secured in all three haemorrhoids but this time my internal haemorrhoids have prolapsed. Do I leave it prolapsed until it “falls off” or can/should I try to push them back in? I’d call my doc but it’s currently 11pm so the clinic is closed and I’m suffering 😭
How are you?
How long did it take for your hemorrhoid to fall off?
Was the banding successful for you? Even they kept prolapsing?
@@Yalbou I had 2 grade 3 hemorrhoids banded and protruded when they were swollen and dying and hurt to touch them. But 1 fell off on day 3 the other didn't fall off until day 7. Alot of swelling after. But the procedure was successful and I no longer have hemorrhoids. It was uncomfortable and alot of pressure 1st day. Never painful though.
@@monique7003 i had 3 grade 3 haems banded almost 6 days ago. They still pop out after a bowel movement. I dont think i can see the bands on them. So thinking this sadly did not work for me. The surgeon said i should see him in six weeks time, but do you think i should contact him now?
@yourfriendlyproctologist I got my hemorrhoids banded a day before. I had a bowel movement today with a little bleeding and hemorrhoid prolapse. Is it safe to Push it back in?
I recommend you get in contact with the doctors office and be seen.
Is any local anesthesia used? I really need this done and am terrified.
When the procedure is done correctly, it does not need local anesthetic. Definitely have a detailed discussion with your doctor! Let them know your concerns about pain!
Suhey did you have it done? I feel the same way. My doctor said he uses novicaine. That sounds worse than just the rubber band!
@@pegasonic65 honestly I just got it done and you feel some pressure and uncomfortableness.. but not pain.. you kinda feel like you have to poop but honestly it's not that bad.
@@stephmac4770 thank you!
@@stephmac4770 Thank you for that response, It gives me some hope. I'm going to get this done soon. Hope you have recovered from this. I'd really appreciate if you can share your recovery experience and tips on this.
How to use Licodine rectacare 5 percent licodine? Just outside or a bit indide to apply it?
Had my procedure today at 11am. Some medium discomfort immediately after. Within 15mins I had taken 2 tylenol and took a nap. Felt 100% no discomfort after. Did not use the bathroom until 8pm and after some soft stool because I prepped myself pretty well beforehand I noticed both rubber bands floating. Hope that's normal:-/ also, dr stated that after banding the largest one it "popped" is that something to be concerned with?
I just had my hemorrhoids banded and apparently mine are “massive”. why are these not recommended for large ones and what may happen, what should I look for?
check out my other banding videos or treatment of grade 3/4 hemorrhoid video
same situation
and now how are u
If banding were to be done on grade 3 haemorrhoids would I still be able to manually insert the haemorrhoids back the day after the procedure when using the toilet like I have to do now daily? Please advise, I’m really suffering. I opted out of the banding because I’m worried that my case is so severe that banding will not be sufficient and also I won’t be able to manually reduce. I have a hal rar procedure booked but then again I am so scared because I’ve been warned that the recovery is excruciatingly painful. Post hal rar on a very practical level when using the toilet the next day, will the haemorrhoids still come out? If they do come out will I be able to manually reduce them and given that the area has been stitched what will that look like? Will it not be intolerable to manually reduce them myself?
Please help doc. There’s no one that has been able to properly answer all my questions and address my fears.
Can banding be used to treat severe grade 3 haemorrhoids?
Hi Doc, does the hemmorhoid continue to pop out a little after banding, whilst passing stools? I had banding done 2 days ago, everytime i pass stools it still pops out and goes back when i touch it, is that normal? cheers
How are you after some time?
how r u now?
and now?
Update please?
I'm in a similar boat. What was the final outcome?
Dr chung..does your anul itchy alot more than usual when your anul fissure start to heal ?
I appreciate your comments, but I believe you are searching for management of your condition based on the comment section. I do not recommend this approach as I do not know anything about you which is potentially dangerous. I advise you to seek a specialist. Best of luck to you.
Would having proctitis make the banding more painful?
Had this procedure done it's now a month later and I'm still bleeding. I had one done during a colon check. And one done 3 weeks later. The second visit was done with nothing like the tools you've shown. It was done in a visit room with this clear and purple tool. Extremely uncomfortable. I would like your insite on this.
I’m afraid to get this done! My doctor wants me to get it but I’m too fastidious to get this done!
I went through hems banding procedure last Wednesday, symptoms were bloating, discomfort and burning sensation in hips and lower back, but no pain during bowel movement at all. After procedure, every time I felt immense pain during bowel movement. Is that normal such a severe pain after procedure when you go toilet?
Thank you for sharing your story. The best next step would be seeing the doctor who performed the procedure. It sounds like the banding produced a bad hemorrhoid flare. I wish you the best.
How are you now brother. I hope you have recovered.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist thanks Albert 😊
@@Ather178 I’m feeling good bro, yes I’m fully recovered, first 10 days was hard.
