Can hemorrhoid surgery affect your sphincter muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recovery : During recovery from rectal hemorrhoid surgery it is okay for some bleeding. Hold pressure for 10 minutes while lying down. Sphincter dysfunction is a rare complication, usually temporary, but needs to be evaluated. Please call your surgery team.
