I love you and all the advice you give to your patients. I have learned more from you than from my own surgeon. Many blessings to you!

Hi Dr Chung, this is the best video on post op recovery with the best advice. I simply wish I could have this knowledge a few years ago. A lot of things I have found were through research and from a patient group on social media. This is extremely important valuable information for anyone to know before surgery and must be followed. Thanks a lot for the video 💓

Thanks Dr Chung, great specific overview, answered most all questions for post op!

Dr chung you are a very wonderful doctor,your information has helped keep my father's hope of recovery from his hemorrhoids surgery alive..thank you doc❤

I love you doc. Thanks to you I was able to help a loved one and even demanded exparel during his hemmorhoidectomy.

Thank you for all of your rectumendations - very much asspreciated. For real 🙏💜

This is like when your Dr is your best friend. Thanks Doc

Thank you Dr Chung you are an excellent doctor. You take time with your patience and you show them that you care. I wish you could have been my doctor when I had my three surgeries. you always give the best advice all the time

Hi Doc, I had surgery yesterday and so far it hasn’t been bad. He gave me Hydrocodone for pain but no ointment or cream. The bleeding has checked up and only a small amount of discharge and discomfort. I’m staying off my butt as much as i can because I’m handicapped. Which is probably how I got the tail 🐈in the first place. I never have constipation. But no bile movement yet. I took Miralax so prayerfully I’ll see something soon. I really enjoy your videos! 😍👍🏼🙏🏽

You are best docter .

Thank you for the advice. I am really grateful found you. You are the caring doctor, i wish i can meet you face to face and become my doctor. I like your jokes, you are really God Send… I bought Pranicura and Revivol XR… thank you thank you. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much Dr Chung. You have given clear information.

Thanks for the video Doc as usual very informative. Really wish I would have found you before my surgery. Could I suggest that you put how to find a board certified proctologist in your videos as part of an intro Maybe. I didn't have that knowledge and got a terrible surgeon. Thanks for your time and I hope you have a great day

Hi Dr. Chung!! Thank you so much for making all your videos ! I had LIS and a hemorrhoidectomy this past Friday , recovery has not be as smooth as I hoped. I have a post op appointment in a few days but I was wondering how you feel about applying Pranacura on /around the anus after those procedures? I ordered some and it arrived a few days before surgery and I have not used it yet . I’m having some discomfort and agitation . Thank you I’m advance :)

Hey I just got my skintags removed and because of IBS I do have problems with diarrhea. Would you say that it takes longer to heal when I have to poop more than people who don’t have stomach issues? Is it better to go to poop everyday just a little or to poop every 2-3 days?

Amazing Dr. Chung. Love from Pakistan.

Hello dr.i have done woth my fissure surgery botox and fissuroctomy in april...on September it was my last visit and my dr.said fissure is completely healed...still whenever I get some hard stool I feel discomfort..she said you have tight muscles and you have to be on metamucil long term...what should I do dr. Can you please suggest Also I am pragnant so is metamucil aor miralax safe during pragnancy my gynecologist saying you can take....please suggest dr..

I’m impressed

Hey doc. I Have a feeling I have a bad surgeon. He told me not to take a bath cause he wants to make sure the stitches don't devolve to fast. I also read that soaking can cause infection. Thoughts?

Hi dr. Chung, I wonder, is therr any bandage over the stitches after hemorrhoidectomy? Thankyou

Hello doctor how many weeks for recover ?

I have a question... I'm 43 years old and 5 weeks out from surgery. Will I ever be able to hold in a toot again?? They're slipping out left and right like an 80yr old granny! (No offense, grannies). Kinda has me worried. I keep trying to remember to do kegels but it's hard to make it a habit. 😵‍💫

Hello. What about alcohol after fissure surgery? I am 1 mnth post op

Thank you very much for your informative videos. I recently went through a hemorrhoid banding and I have had severe viginal pain since the procedure. It is been 5days now. But still I have extreme viginal pain and back pain aprt from the pain in the anus. What could cause this? I am on remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma

Is it ok to use pranicura 5 3 weeks after surgery?

Hi doctor, is the pain after anal fistula surgery same as that of hemorrhoicdectomy or less than that

How soon can you drive after the surgery?

I have 3rd time surgey. That's internal spinchtertomy bcz doctor diagnoses a fissure. After 2 weeks of surgery bleeding doesn't stop and it's very painfull . What should i do plz help me with this doctor

I got dissolvable stitches. Is it safe to do bathes still? I didn’t think to much about it because I needed the bath. Now I’m worried. It’s 6 days post-op and I’m bleeding again.

Is this protocol for after lazer surgery or conventional surgery?

Hi Dr Chung! I had surgery on December 9th. I had 75 units of Botox’s at the 12 o’clock position to aid a 1cm chronic fissure. I also had 3 large skin tags removed. I’m now on day 5 and have had minimal pain since the op (a 3/10 on the pain scale, it’s mainly just uncomfortable). From day one I woke up with a grape sized swelling which looks like a haemorrhoid but feels more like fluid. This swelling is not getting smaller (I’m having sitz baths, ice packs, witch hazel and naproxen/ ibuprofen). Should I be concerned? Or is there anything else I could be doing? Or is this normal and I just need to wait. Any advice would be a big help, as I still can’t get through to my surgeon.

@neenD

Жыл бұрын

Much better. I’m 1 month since surgery. It was only at week 2 did the grape size swelling start to go down. It’s now a small flesh-like skin tag, roughly pea sized. I will ask if this can be removed if I am advised to go back in for a second dose of Botox. The thing that has helped me the most is 1 sachet of Movicol every other day. My BMs are now daily and not every few days (slow digestion and chronic constipation caused my issues) and I now for the first time in years am able to go without bleeding and without pain! Would 100% recommend Botox and am certain removing the tags (which would swell up post BM) has aided healing of the fissure. The pain was no where near what I expected, in fact for the 1st few days I was convinced the local anaesthetic hadn’t worn off! Hope this helps anyone considering this surgery! (Note - I did not have a haemorrhoidectomy just Botox and large sentinel piles/tags removed)

Hi Doctor, how are you? Recently, I have had a haemorrhoid surgery and it has been 20 days. I am suffering from pain and swelling. Please give me some medicine that will cure me quickly.

Is it normal to need a second hemorrhoid surgery?? Im 3 weeks post op hemorrhoid removal surgery and i didn't see much of a difference or what was removed. The hemorrhoid is still there.

I had my surgery 14 days ago i dont know about my recovery

Hey Dr. Chung I have a question. I know you’ll tell me to see a professional but I am . So a month ago I wasn’t drinking much water, eating healthy, and I drank a ton of coffee. Then I used the bathroom one day and I had a painful bowel movement. But I didn’t think much of it, after it occurred my butt felt sore. Then the next few days after that I was super constipated. I couldn’t use the bathroom for 2-3 days and I couldn’t even walk because my butt hurt. Then I found a great laxative I used that gave me relief because it allowed me to have a bowel movement after feeling constipated. Now a month later I’m still feeling pain in my butt and whenever I use the bathroom my stool is soft but I still feel like whenever I have a bowel movement or have to pass gas releasing feels stuck it’s odd. And sometimes I feel like there’s sharp pain in my butt and I feel something moving . It’s a weird sensation to describe. Also inside there seems to be a small pimple but it doesn’t feel like a hemmroid . It feels like a small rubber ball. What do you think is going on?

@@yourfriendlyproctologist thank you Dr Chung. Since I left this comment I tried Pranicura, today actually and wow. The relief it has given me is truly remarkable. The coolness is good idk how no one else thought of that. It really helps so much .

After having a fissure and fissurectomy, which I’m still going through recovery, my stomach is still a little messed up because for three weeks I wasn’t able to really pass gas normally or at all, and my bowel movements were messed up along with the schedule. I started having more fiber, but that made me incredibly bloated and I had cramps and gas that I couldn’t get rid of, the pressure from the inside was pushing on my fissure making the pain unbearable. Once I got the fissure removed, I was able to pass gas and feel less bloated. I don’t really care about having 25 to 35 g of fiber as long as I have about 20 and some low residue foods with a stool softener. I’ve been taking stool softeners around the clock because I hadn’t gone for four days, but but I finally went thank goodness for the softeners a quarter cup of prune juice helped. Please if anyone has any questions ask me I don’t want anyone to be alone.

How are things going for you now? I'm on day 12, post fistulotomy. Unfortunately followup isn't until 10/18. I'm still getting that pus/mucus leakage daily, though it's decreasing. Wearing what are essentially maxi-pads for men. Doing 3 sitz baths a day. Did a largely liquid and soft food diet for about 10 days. Started slowly working in my normal foods into diet over the weekend. My pain hasn't been terrible outside of days 3-4 post op and obvious pain during bms. I'm just ready for the leakage to stop. That and wearing the pads makes me not want to leave the house.

I had hemorrhoids and fissure surgery two weeks ago. I still have an opening and pain at the top of my rectum that seems to be healing slowly, besides that I am suddenly having a lot of gas after eating, especially while sleeping I will wake up with very painful anal spasms. Any help to prevent this? I am watching my diet and eating a more plant based diet with some fiber supplement. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you again. I start each morning with your videos.
