Before having any treatment for the removal of your hemorrhoids there are questions you should ask the doctor/surgeon:
- Which is the best treatment to have?
- What are the options?
- Which options give the best long term results?
- Can I try conservative treatments first?
- If I have to have an operation how long will it take?
- How long will I have to wait for the operation?
- What type of anaesthetic will I have
- Who is doing the operation?
- How experienced is the surgeon with performing this procedure?
- What are the post op complications of the procedure?
- How long will it take you to recover?
- How painful will the procedure be?
- What pain relief medicine will I be given and how effective is it?
- When will you be able to return to activities of normal daily living?
