Asking for Self, Male, 23 years old, ..
i am 23 make, i had internal hemorrhoids that were painless and only caused mild bright red spots during bowel that got away for sometime and would come back at times. I went to a consultant and he at that moment just did proctoscopy and there he did banding, he banded aroung 5-6 but they were small and i never felt bulding out during my bowels. but now im worried about the long term effects of this procedure because someone told me they may cause narrowing of anal canal, and i have alot of anxiety since then that what will be the outcomes of this. i had the banding yesterday and i have pain or any discomfort since tpday only mild presure feeling yesterday.
no need to worry.
banding is a very safe procedure and it doesn\'t have any such side effects.
Don\'t worry... banding doesn\'t cause narrowing
Banding of internal haemorrhoids shouldn\'t cause anal stenosis.
5 -6 bands are a tad excessive though
Now wait. Take a sitz bath. And if recurrence occurs, go for laser hemorroidoplasty.
Banding done yesterday there will be pain or discomfort for a few days. Most probably there will not be any narrowing. Plz follow instructions of the Surgeon
Needs examination and proctoscopy
You can only be guided after an examination. Since you have had banding recently just wait a for a few days before re-examination.
banding does not cause stenosis...it is a safe procedure.
