A member asked:
Is it normal to have discomfort from having a harmonic scalpel hemorrhoidectomy done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Pain after hemorrhoid surgery is very common. Any type of surgical excision can cause significant pain, even with a harmonic scalpel. Oral pain medications and sometimes a local anesthetic gel can be applied directly to the area, ask your surgeon.
