Hemorrhoid Surgery (Piles Treatment)
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the rectal area that can cause pain, bleeding, itching, and discomfort. While many cases improve with medication and lifestyle changes, severe or recurrent hemorrhoids may require surgical treatment. At Tarlac Medical Center, we provide safe and effective hemorrhoid surgery in a private and discreet medical environment.
When Is Surgery Recommended?
Surgical intervention may be necessary for:
- Persistent rectal bleeding
- Prolapsed hemorrhoids that do not retract
- Severe pain unresponsive to medication
- Thrombosed hemorrhoids
- Recurrent symptoms affecting quality of life
Early treatment helps prevent complications such as anemia or infection.
Types of Hemorrhoid Surgery
Hemorrhoidectomy – Complete removal of swollen hemorrhoidal tissue
Stapled Hemorrhoidopexy – Repositioning and cutting off blood supply
Minimally Invasive Techniques – For selected cases
The procedure is performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia depending on severity.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients may experience mild discomfort during the first few days. Recovery typically includes:
Hospital stay:
- Same-day discharge or 1 day
- Return to work: 1–2 weeks
- Gradual improvement of bowel comfort
Proper hydration and dietary adjustments support healing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hemorrhoid Removal Surgery
What is hemorrhoid removal surgery?
Hemorrhoid removal surgery, also called hemorrhoidectomy, is a procedure to remove swollen and inflamed veins in the rectum or anus. It is typically recommended for severe, painful, prolapsed, or bleeding hemorrhoids that do not improve with medications or lifestyle changes.
Is hemorrhoid surgery painful?
Some discomfort is expected after surgery, especially during bowel movements. However, pain is manageable with prescribed medications and proper postoperative care. Modern surgical techniques help reduce discomfort and support faster healing.
How long is the recovery period?
Most patients go home the same day or within 24 hours. Recovery typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the severity of the condition and the type of procedure performed. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity during recovery.
What can I expect after surgery?
Mild bleeding, swelling, and discomfort are normal during the first few days. Doctors usually recommend stool softeners, increased fluid intake, and a high-fiber diet to prevent constipation and reduce strain during bowel movements.
When should I seek immediate medical attention?
Seek urgent care if you experience heavy bleeding, high fever, severe worsening pain, difficulty urinating, or signs of infection such as increasing redness or pus at the surgical site. Prompt evaluation helps prevent complications.
