A member asked:

How long is recovery out of work after a hemorrhoidectomy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No set time.: There are many different ways to do hemorrhoidectomy and recovery time depends on the procedure adopted. In old classical hemorrhoidectomy it used to be long time but the new techniques have cut it very short. Good rule of thumb is when you don't have pain you can resume work.
