default
Posted on Wed, 29 Jun 2016
Question: 5 months a go I had surgery for hemorrhoids. Everything went well and the wound heal. But for the past Month I have notice that if I push my anus out, like a bowel movement, I can see a red thing coming out from inside my anus ( see pic) I thought it was the surgery wound that wasn't healing but after 5 Months I would think it was already good. now I think it could be part of my rectum?. Could this be sore? a wound? or is it part of my rectum showing ? No pain, No bleeding, No discharge And, if this is not a wound or sore can I have anal sex safely?

Brief Answer:
Please Avoid........

Detailed Answer:
Brief Ans-Please Avoid........the wound is still to be healed

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your update reply with picture.
Reviewed your health concerns in context to your picture.

Upon Review of the updated picture,Following are the replies to your various sub-queries-

Q-1-now I think it could be part of my rectum?
Ans-1-Upon Reviewing the picture,its not the part of the rectum

Q-2-Could this be sore? a wound?
Ans-2-There appears to be a resolving and still healing ? operative wound,the cause of which needs to be assessed.
This would need evaluation for which I would suggest You to consult with attending Surgeon-and get the Proctoscopy done after local anaesthetic jelly.And get needful instructions from your attending Surgeon.

Q-3- or is it part of my rectum showing ? No pain, No bleeding, No discharge And,
Ans-3-Its not part of rectum,which is showing.
That part(as explained in Ans-2) is -the still healing wound of the lately operated hemorrhoids and is part of the anal mucosa with accompanied external piles,which seems be present along with the ?interno-external Piles,which were present earlier. The operated hemorrhoid-?interno-external piles,seems to be excised and is represented with the small healing wound-of 5 mm size,approximately.
Though no pain, no bleeding, no discharge is there,the wound would need some more time to heal.

Q-4-if this is not a wound or sore can I have anal sex safely?
Ans-4-In the given scenario,reply to this query is NO.
It would need more care from your attending Surgeon,to correct the causes of its persistence after 5 months.As told this would need evaluation by Proctoscopy and physical P/R(per rectum) examination from Your attending Surgeon.

Next appointment-
For any emergency or for Follow up after 3 weeks after your doctors visit,for further review of your health concerns,if need be.

Dear,Hope this reply would help you to plan for needful treatment on above suggested lines,with help of your attending doctors.

Dear, Hope this precise and specific reply would help you to resolve your health issues and its worries, with help of your doctors there.
