Can I Have Sex After Rubber Band Ligation Of Haemorrhoid?
I currently have international hemorrhoids, that flare up only every so often. I am waiting to see a specialist, and I wonder, are you able to have anal sex after rubber band ligation has been performed with the remaining haemorrhoid cicatrized skin present.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted history and understood the concerns.
Your question is short and specific.
Since you have hemorrhoids, it is best to avoid anal sex and particularly after banding that is rubber band ligation.
Use laxatives, Sitz bath, avoid foods and beverages that cause constipation and go for proper management of hemorrhoids.
If you have lost blood, you may have to take Iron and multivitamins.
No anal sex till your Surgeon allows.
