Haemmerhoids sclerotherapy question

[Z064life]

Hi guys,


I was diagnosed with grade 2-3 internal haemmerhoids a week ago. Today, I just got back from a sigmoidoscopy (which my specialist wanted me to have to make an accurate diagnosis.

Anyway, the sigmoidoscopy found nothing so my specialist is convinced that the bleeding (which stopped before I had my consultation a week ago) is indeed from haemmerhoids.


Question I have, is I had the injection treatment and I felt the standard pinch that you get from an injection, but everywhere I read says there should be no pain from the injection unless the wrong site was injected?


Thanks|

I have a Sigmoidoscopy in 2 weeks. How was it? I am hoping it feels better than a Cystoscopy!

What other symptoms have you had? I think mine is IBS.

Hi mate, did not expect this thread to take off! It went really well. I was sedated and had entonox which helped. It all happened so quickly. Not sure if that is the skill of the consultant or the drugs impact, or both.


I don't have IBD/Crohn's but unfortunately some people with it say this is very painful (but it's very subjective!) you should be good. I'd always recommend that you take all the drugs you can get because moving can possibly cause the camera to damage your intestines and if you can't cope with the pain when not using any drugs, they may not be able to administer drugs mid-way. You don't want an inconclusive surgery as you may need to have it again and tha will be terrible.


Are you going private? Good luck!
