Brief Answer: Post-intervention pelvic inflammation... Detailed Answer: Hi dear XXXXXXX I have gone through your medical history carefully. The uterine cramps you are feeling might be related to the intervention you had (internal hemorrhoid banding). Most probably due to pelvic inflammation during the procedure as long as you do not have any fever or UTI signs. Wish fast recovery! Dr.Klerida Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further queries!
