A member asked:
My bowel m. has been really good since my hemorrhoidectomy 5 weeks ago. but today, my stool is kinda hard. what are the chances piles will come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hemorrhoids.: When a hemorrhoidectomy is performed, the doctor doesn’t excise every vein that could potentially become a hemorrhoid in the future. So you certainly can get new hemorrhoids from varying mechanisms after a hemorrhoidectomy.
