Well, I went in to see my GI doc to have him look at my hemorrhoid and his first words were "woah"! He said I had a thrombosed internal hemorrhoid...I thought it was an external for I had a large lump the size of a kidney bean for a few days but then noticed a blood clot forming. The blood clot only got bigger over the next couple days and bleeding constantly. He sent me immediately to a general surgeon in his outpatient office across the hall. Now what he did was remove the blood clot...he injected me with anesthetic (hurt like hell) then made a small incision and proceeded to squeeze out the blood clot. He told me I would experience no pain following the procedure but after the anesthetic wore off, the throbbing pain was almost unbearable. This is my second day and the pain is 75% better. Now, what I'm left with is the hemorrhoid lump and he said the flap of skin would eventually retract and tighten...it's still a bit big and was wondering has anyone else had a procedure like this and what experiences did you have and did the skin retract?

Thanks
Gordon

i have gone through the same procedure and was a bit frustrated with my thomborsed hemorrhoid ,then one day i found a natural remedy to cure hemorrhoids
while surfing,initialy i was a bit skeptical that whether this natural method will work for me or not,then i thought of giving it a try,i downloaded the system
and started following the Natural remedies,within first week my hemorrhoids lump started shrinking ,then after 4 weeks i got rid of my hemorrhoids.

You can find the Natural Remedy i tried to cure my hemorrhoids on the website Below:

I have that system already, it did not work for me

I don't actually have a hemorrhoid, once he removed the blood clot from inside it I now have just a hard lump of skin more or less the same size and shape as the hemorrhoid. There is absolutly no pain at all and he said it could probably take weeks or months for that skin to tighten and shrink up. After it heals he'll try a steroid cream to help shrink it but can't use it now on an open wound for it would cause the wound to heal slower. Once healed he will give me something to try in order to shrink the remaining lump. Until then I'm going to keep it clean with witch hazel and use vitamin E on the wound to heal it.

The thing is you have had surgery to drain the thrombosed hemorrhoid my aunt didn't recover properly for at least 6 months. Your best option is to take care of that area as much as possible to reduce any danger of it coming back.
