When I got mine removed the surgeon left my wound open to scar from the inside out. Stuffing 4x4 gauze into my gapping wound was the fuckin worse.. removing it was fucked too. Wondering why you got closed up.
I thought they didn't close it up so that it doesn't return. Maybe that was old school.
Go buy yourself a foam donut made for people with hemorrhoids to sit in the car and chairs with..
Something like this
Good luck 🤞
I took off four days for zero depth. Surgery on a Monday, and teleworked from my hospital bed on Friday. Still teleworking from bed. If I had to go to an office and sit all day, I'd've probably needed a month, because sitting is surprisingly rough.
Get a donut pillow. Bring it to the hospital with you. I got this one, and it's worked like a champ. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KF9P5FZ
I was looking for new bed pillows the other day and came across something I didn't need but might help you, a tailbone pain relief pillow.
If you just google 'hemorrhoid pillow for sitting' you'll find options.
There is some discharge and pain, but lot less than what I expected. I’m only using Tylenol and ibuprofen after the surgery day, because the opiud drugs give you constipation. Also see if your hospital has exparel - this is a non opiud injection, that keeps the surgery area numb for 24-48 hrs. Mine didn’t have that, also get this cushion - Donut Pillow Tailbone Pain Relief... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KF9P5FZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share It was helpful Pre op but post op it didn’t fit me much, I liked the bed better.
I liked this one. My husband makes fun of it but I always see him using it when I get home 🤣
When I was having my fistula surgery I used this:

It’s extremely comfortable. Highly recommend!
My bf at the the time walked into CVS and asked the guy where to find ass donuts and the guy said “wrong kind of store man”.
This is an ass donut.
