Hello, my son is 5 years old, month ago he was diagnosed with hemorrhoid & went through surgery on 24 jan still passing blood mixed with stool on&off?

Recommend follow up: with doctor to reassess. Hemorrhoids are usually caused by constipation, and if your son is still having large infrequent stools, then there may be recurrent fissures or a new hemorrhoid, but the original surgery should have healed by now. If BM's are soft, then other causes should be considered.

Odd diagnosis: I never saw a hemorrhoid in a kid in more than 30 years of practice. Perhaps there is a terminology/translation issue. 5 yo's pass blood in their stool from anal fissures, and these can heal with a skin tag that can look like a hemorrhoid. Any surgery on the area will not change the stooling problem that triggered the fissure. Working to keep stools soft for months may fix this.

Is there any effective way to treat a bleeding internal hemorrhoid if it can't be banded due to its location and a prior surgery? What would happen if I leave it untreated and let it pass small blood clots everyday. Can it eventually heal on its own?
