"I work away from the home and had delayed seeking help because of the lengthy “down time” and pain following any of the surgical procedures that I had researched. I had also heard the “war stories” of family and friends who had had the conventional haemorrhoid surgeries. After I heard about PPH, I read the brochure. I was then ready to find the right doctor and set the date. My initial visit to the doctor was informative. Essentially, I did not have any fears or anxiety going into the procedure. "
"PPH was performed on an outpatient basis. I experienced minimal pain - more what I referred to as discomfort. I took a pain pill just before I left the hospital, primarily because I was told to do so, rather than because I felt a need for it. I did not take any pain medication thereafter. I had the procedure on a Wednesday. The next day, I was on my feet, without pain, resting at intervals as I felt the need. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I was at home doing almost anything I wanted. I even went out for supper on Saturday evening and I was ready to return to work on Monday. I have not had any recurrence of the haemorrhoids. My advice to other patients considering PPH is that they should read the literature, talk to a doctor, get all of their questions answered, and then do it! Why continue to suffer when there is such remarkable help now available?"
