I had surgery to remove three hemorrhoids about a week ago and have been resting, but I've noticed some dry mucus leaking with a bad smell. Is this normal after the procedure, and what can I do to stop it?

While some discharge after hemorrhoid surgery is expected, dry, smelly mucus leaking could indicate a potential complication like infection. It's important to consult your surgeon as soon as possible to rule out complications and receive appropriate treatment.

Will it actually solve my constipation problems or are there other treatments I should consider first? I'm a bit nervous about the surgery and want to understand what exactly happens during it.
Anal dilation and sphincter surgery, also known as Lords' Dilatation or lateral internal sphincterotomy, are procedures aimed at widening the anal sphincter and easing the passage of stool.

I've been suffering from a fistula for the past two years and tried homeopathy but it hasn't helped. There's still bleeding and white discharge - should I consider surgery or stick with homeopathy? I'm really worried about this ongoing issue.
Persistent fistula with discharge after homeopathy suggests surgery is needed—options like VAAFT or laser are less invasive and have better cure rates.
