    I would rather have a doctor with and open learning mind and admit that they made an error, than to have a doctor stuck in some old-school thinking, procedure and methodology because of their ego, stubbornness or refusal to change and learn something new. You put patients first which is a gift to patients that keeps on giving long after they are healed. Thank you for being honest, up front and open with us. I wish you were taking care of my situation.

I am 15 days post hemmeroidectomy surgery and let me tell you, your videos got me through the most difficult time of my life and I'm so thankful I found your channel. The week before surgery I was stage 4 from suffering 25 years after I had my son. I suffered in silence until they screamed we don't want to be a part if your body anymore. I thank you for giving me the courage to get the surgery and recovery. Your right..my surgeon used a laser and scissors and my recovery was not 😢too bad. I have soreness but most pain when I have a bowel movement but the pain is going away away and I've getting better everyday. So again do not beat yourself up because you are an angel.🙏

    FiLaC is one such surgery which is widely used in my country. It's a revolutionary laser surgey for hemmoroids, fistula and fissures. Tremendous results and speedy recovery for most of the patients. Zero incontinence issues. I see many people who had multiple failed surgeries of fistula from countries like Australia, US, Canada are now coming to India for having FiLaC at a much lesser price and getting amazing results.
    I was always wondering why the doctors in United states which is the most developed country in the world are still not doing surgeries like FiLaC and DLPL for their patients. After watching your video I understand now what's going on with the medical system in the US and these insurance companies propaganda. Thanks for making such informative video.

    Thank you Dr. I am new to your channel. I haven't "needed" a proctologist but when you do.... you do! Out of the blue I am pretty sure I have an abscess or some sort of cyst that came one very quickly. I was out of town and so next week I will be seeing a nurse practitioner and then hopefully will be referred to a proctologist if needed. I'm hoping it can just be aspirated or something simple. I don't really feel like I have an infection at this point it does not feel super super painful. At the beginning yes but I feel like I got on top of it rather quickly. Anyway, we shall see I may be contacting you if I'm not happy with the information they give me. I'm glad I am feeling prepared with information before going in. I'm not one to do crazy surgeries or anything like that. I'm definitely more leaning toward natural ways to take care of things. Again, thank you so much and it's great to hear that. You realize you can change your mind! That's how we grow.

      Unfortunately insurance companies suck. They make you (the patient & Dr) jump thru so many hoops before they will let you have a test or procedure that is the answer to the ailment.. Friend of mine hurt his arm. 1st an x-ray, 2nd physical therapy, finally mri ! Result- his muscles were torn off the bone resulting in surgery that was so over due that HR ended up with an arm that will never be the same or strong. It's not on you doctors it's on the insurance companies. Same thing is happening with me my arm hurts so bad there are days I want to blow it off with a shot gun. About the only thing patients can do is pray. Always get precertification thru the patients insurance just to be sure things are covered. I think laser is good or I wouldn't have all these stitch marks from hip to ankle from a previous vein removal. Keep up the good work. You are helping people you just may not know it.

I was prescribed a Laser procedure and as you mentioned it worked great. I was up in couple of days and it was life changing as I’m without pain after several years. However, I’d flag a side effect of it, which is incontinence (or may be soiling). I notice that a very small amount of poop always keeps leaking.

    So there is another channel that is overseas and advertises laser surgery heavily. There are also some videos of laser procedures being done in other states than the one I live in. After seeing a lot of these videos, I really got sold on the idea of laser surgery. Finally, I had colonoscopy with a five-star laser surgeon who was local and in my hmo. Before he even did the colonoscopy, he told me he stopped doing the laser treatments because too many people complained about the recovery, and he wasn't interested in hurting people or making things worse.

    I'm a new subscriber. Although my butt is perfect, I'm here for my wife. I think Dr. Chung is wonderful. Almost makes me want hemorrhoids. I better be careful what I ask for. I was a huge fan of the late Norm McDonald and I can "hear" Norm in Dr. Chung. Now I'm going binge watch this station. Hopefully this station can give my wife some relief.

    I'm trying to find a doctor who does this, and it's difficult, as everyone wants to do banding. I can't travel across the country.. I found out that only in AZ do they have the BEST means to handle it, which is to vaporize the piles leaving it look like you never had them.
    Online searches don't show many doctors doing laser procedure. I spoke with one in my region and he said he doesn't think anyone in my area does it; they only do banding or surgery.

      @@boobierubi8567 I never got surgery and they went away for the most part im sure they are still there but they are not nearly as painful. Although it took months for them to heal up. Best advice i can give is use topical treatments until they heal on their own and if they dont after 6-12 months then maybe think about surgery. Also talk to a proctologist if you can without seeing a regular doctor first cause they are gonna examine you both times and its not fun.

      @@eddiebalogh1590 best thing is to see a colorectal surgeon and get an examination . Some internal hemorrhoids they can band them which kind of strangles the hemorrhoid and stops blood flow to them and they pretty much shrink and die off . But if they get too big that’s when you need a hemorrhoidectomy and that you don’t want it’s so painful . External ones they lance and I had that done and it does hurt but not as bad as internal ones .

    hey doc...I got kinda horror story. I had a hemroidectemy 10 months ago that was the most brutal, painfully insane surgery I have ever had!! I have hard parts of my spine removed and it didn't come close to that pain!! So everything was good and just when I got over the pain and it was 2 months later and I went to the bathroom and boom I got hemroids AGAIN!! I was so traumatized from the last surgery I didn't do to get checked out for 10 months!! But most people don't know you bottom end makes the most mucus out of anywhere in your body and with hemroids the mucus is insane!! So it's causing all kinds of other health issues and the surgeon said I would need another hemroidectemy AND IM FREAKING OUT!!! I JUST CAN'T GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN!! BUT I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS MAN!!! to make things worse I was in a bad work accident in 2010 and I got a bunch of metal in my lower back so it's just such an issue man and I seriously think about jumping off a building!!! I saw this video and I was actually one of your first subscribers and I put you on Reddit😄. I believe the Lord Jesus Christ brought me to your channel so I could spread it to lots of other people so they could get help. I seriously wish all my doctors were like you man!!! I'm not just saying that you really helped a lot of people!! So this Lazer surgery got me excited and gave me some hope.....I'm willing I'm in P.A. but I'm willing to travel to come and see you...I know my Medicaid won't work in the state you live in.....I'm trying something called HEM-HEALER to see if maybe it will help but man I'm DESPERATE I need help man.....can you please let me know how much you would charge me for the Lazer surgury?? I'm so so desperate to get my bottom end fixed. I can't travel or take on any speaking engagements like this and many churches have been asking me to come and speak. I was supposed to speak at a conference in Africa in December but now that all these issues are happening because of these hemroids that came back 10 months after the most brutal surgery ever!! It traumatized me man. No joke my whole body starts to shake. I can't even show normal and alot of this is mental from that surgery I'm sure but I'm really REALLY DESPERATE FOR SOME HELP!!! please I honestly don't trust another doctor to even look at me down there after going through all of this. I know that Lazer surgery would be absolutely AMAZING and I really have been loosing hope to ever get a life back again till I just saw this video.......can you please give me the office number. I'm so desperate!! thank you man. I don't know if you will even see this but I'm going to pray you do!!! 🙏✝️❤️🔥

      My sympathy goes out to you fellow brother in Christ.. Lots of praying for your issue.. I will recommend a really good set of books from Anthony Williams. Especially cleanse to heal and liver rescue. Most people dont realize the Liver has alot to do with roids.. Bioflavonoids from Nature's Life will help with fast relief to get the veins to shrink back down.. Rutin is a very effective flavonoid that works quickly. Try drinking aloe vera and keep fats and proteins to a minimum.. papaya, bananas and potatoes are extremely healing foods. But everyone is different see what works for you..

I changed my whole diet after my hemroidectemy. My diet is basically scrambled eggs, oatmeal and bananas....I take stool softener 3 times a day but I'm a chronic pain patient so I take opioids since my spine surgery. Never really had any constipation issues. For some reason they don't affect me like that. I know that's not the problem because I had been taking them for almost 15 years before I had any issues......all this happened after I got covid and I couldn't even hold down water for almost 2 months. I had never been so sick. I'm a "COVID long hauler" whatever that is haaaa haaa. So I really haven't been healthy since......I finally went back to the surgeon but man Lazer surgery sounds like a dream compared to what I went through!!! I have tried everything and no good. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE PRAYERS!!! greatly appreciated!!!! I know the Lord can heal me just by thinking it so I have hope I'm going to wake up better one day but it's absolutely stopping my whole life. Anyway I hate talking about it. I'm praying this HEM-HEALER works!!! Have a great weekend 🙏✝️❤️🔥

      I know the pain, I haven't had surgery because of these horror stories but every day I wake up in fear knowing I'll be going to the toilet anywhere from 2-8 times in the space of 2 hours. I don't like sitting in chairs so just lay in bed all day counting down the minutes knowing it will be morning soon. It's no life, I might as well be dead. I love In the UK and they only cut and stitch at grade 4 piles and even then you have to wait over 12 months for it. I don't have the money to go private so I guess I'll just fear every morning and lay in bed until I'm dead. Man I'm so depressed.
