Hemorrhoid surgery pain level

In clinical practice, the level of incisional pain after hemorrhoid surgery is based on the patient’s own sensations as an evaluation. The pain is divided into 10 levels from mild to severe on a scale of 1-10, where 1-3 is mild pain, 4-7 is moderate pain, and 8-10 is severe pain. Patients with mild pain feel only mild pain, which does not have any effect on the patient’s sleep. In moderate pain, the patient will feel a more pronounced pain, which will affect the sleep, but can still fall asleep eventually. Severe pain, on the other hand, will give the patient will feel very intense pain and will not be able to sleep at all, and may need to resort to sleeping pills to fall asleep if necessary. Most hemorrhoid patients, within 5-7 days after surgery, feel moderate pain, very few will experience severe pain, and after a week after surgery the pain becomes mild.
