Description

Three Italian doctors argue in a 2023 letter that pain after hemorrhoid surgery remains an unsolved problem. Removing advanced hemorrhoids is the standard cure, but the days after surgery often hurt badly. The letter lists the main drivers of that pain as the authors see them.

Tight stitches can catch sensitive lining and strands of the inner sphincter muscle, and raw wounds leave the canal bare. Swelling, packs, and infection add to the load. The authors single out spasm of the inner sphincter as the chief driver, since cut wounds run up the canal and provoke it. Their letter presses surgeons to treat spasm control as central to kinder recovery, not as an afterthought.
