Post-Procedure Care
You will feel a dull ache/pressure for
36-48 hours after the banding. This feeling will be noted as soon as the rubber
bands are applied. Occasionally, it will make you feel as if you want to have a
bowel movement.
In 24-48 hours, the hemorrhoid caught
in the rubber band will be dead.
In 7-10 days, the banded tissue and
the rubber bands will pass, usually unnoticed, with a bowel movement. If the
bleeding seems excessive, call the office immediately.
When very large hemorrhoids are
treated, the bands will usually be slow in dropping off. If your ache or
discomfort should last beyond several days, the bands can easily be clipped or
removed in the office and treatment may still be effective.
Sit in a tub of comfortably warm water
2-3 times a day for the first 2-3 days (15 minutes each time).
