Stapled hemorrhoidopexy 12/1 for grade 3 internal prolapsed. after a bout w/diarrhea today, 12/23, seems like the prolapse is coming back. what now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prolapse not likely.: It is very unlikely that the prolapse is coming back so early. your symptoms are more likely from local ano-rectal irritation from diarrhea (Or whatever is causing diarrhea. If the symptoms do not go away in 48 hrs., please follow up with your doctor.
