Hemorrhoids are created when veins in the anus become strained (this can be due to a number of reasons) this can then lead to them becoming swollen and they will start to protrude, they can also be essentially painful for the person who has them.
For the majority of people who suffer from hemorrhoids, the problem though embarrassing and uncomfortable, would eventually clear up and they will be able to return back to normal.
In certain cases however, the hemorrhoids are so severe that the only option to get rid of them is surgery.
Whenever surgery is exhausted to treat hemorrhoids it is always as a last resort and is only used when the hemorrhoids have not responded to other treatments.
There are various types of hemorrhoid surgery the doctors could use and the type tends to depend on the type of hemorrhoids a person is suffering from, their size and whether or not they are internal or external.
Sometimes hemorrhoids will be cut out, tied off and left to die or cauterised as a form of removal.
During any sort of surgery there will be some blood loss but bleeding after hemorrhoid surgery should be quite minimal regardless of the method spent to remove the hemorrhoid.
Some people be given that they will bleed slightly for a day or two following their surgery, and normally this is totally common and will quickly settle down.
However severe bleeding after hemorrhoid surgery is not normal.
If you find somehow that you are losing a lot of blood following surgery on your hemorrhoids you should contact your hospital immediately as you may need to be seen by a doctor.
If you are in any doubt about bleeding after hemorrhoid surgery you are recommended to speak to your surgeon before the operation and he or she will explain what is normal and what isn't.
