A member asked:

Had a hemorrhoidectomy a week ago, still oozing blood and some pain. is this normal. when can i get back to football and lifting?

Normal: Some blood coming out and pain after surgery may be normal. I would expect that you should have a postoperative visit to discuss this with your surgeon. Returning back is the matter of having you cleared by your surgeon, but you should be symptom free at least to be considered for that.

Soon but focus heal: You had hemorrhoid surgery and still notice bleeding. You want to get back to regular activity. Make sure you give enough time to heal. Walking and exercise can be fine. Lifting will cause you to bear down and increase pressure in your abdominal cavity, this transmits pressure in the veins in your pelvis do avoid that until cleared by surgeon.
