Edema trimming after hemorrhoid surgery may generally hurt for about 3 to 7 days. Oedema trimming after hemorrhoid surgery often requires suturing to stop bleeding, and the pain can be sensitive in the early days, especially 2 to 3 days after surgery, when the pain will be at its peak, especially when moving around. Early treatment with pain medication, such as ibuprofen, meloxicam, and lidocaine gel, is often necessary to help relieve pain and reduce edema. Usually about 3 to 7 days after edema trimming, the edema gradually relieves and so do the pain symptoms, and after 7 days, most of the time, there are no serious pain symptoms or the pain is significantly reduced. If the pain is prolonged after edema trimming after hemorrhoid surgery, it may be caused by poor healing or inflammation and infection, and requires prompt medical attention.
