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.

My friend has been dealing with hemorrhoids for the past 8 months and the doctor recommended surgery to remove them but he's really scared of going under the knife Is there any other way to treat hemorrhoids without surgery

External hemorrhoids can be treated non-surgically with a variety of methods, including topical creams, sitz baths, ice packs, and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and hydration. Over-the-counter medications containing hydrocortisone or witch hazel can help relieve pain and itching, while warm sitz baths can soothe the area. Applying ice packs can reduce swelling, and a high-fiber diet can help prevent straining during bowel movements
