Can I have hemorrhoid surgery if I’m pregnant?

In general, you cannot have hemorrhoid surgery when you are pregnant, and if you have hemorrhoid surgery during pregnancy, it may cause a miscarriage or premature birth, so if you have an acute attack of hemorrhoids during pregnancy, it is usually treated conservatively with medication, and you can choose medication that does not affect the pregnant woman or the fetus to relieve the local symptoms. However, if a pregnant woman has very serious hemorrhoids and the local symptoms are so pronounced that they may affect the pregnant woman or the fetus, surgery may be considered as a last resort. When hemorrhoids occur during pregnancy, patients should still see a professional anorectal surgeon and be evaluated before deciding on a treatment option.
