Gastroenterologist’s Personal Experience with Hemwellectomy
My Dear Colleagues,
I am usually private about personal health matters, but I felt I should share my experience to provide some insight and inspiration.
I have had right-sided hemorrhoids that have bothered me off and on since college. I have experienced a few episodes of (very painful) thrombosis over the years, nagging symptoms of prolapse, pain, burning, and bleeding. A true grade 3/4 with the whole spectrum of symptoms that has only gotten worse with age. A colorectal surgical colleague had done banding on two separate occasions. Each resulted in two weeks of post-procedural misery for minimal short-lived partial improvement.
Dr. P was to perform my colonoscopy as he had done in the past. I asked him to address the hemorrhoids by treating both the right anterior and right posterior columns by HemWellectomy.
I am pleased to report the results after one month: my hemorrhoids have clinically DISAPPEARED!
Post-procedure, I experienced a slight low-grade ache in the right anal area x 48 hrs. No analgesics were needed, it did not interfere with any of life’s daily activities, and defecation was not painful. The next day my schedule at our GI center was full and I performed my duties as if nothing had been done the previous day. Now a month later, there are no masses or prolapse, pain, bleeding, pruritis, or burning. I have become completely asymptomatic, and I have not felt this well in over 30 years! Clearly, this is a short-term follow-up and the experience of one patient; however, I think the result are MIRACULOUS!
Regards,
Dr. D.A.
Cedric’s Journey: A Tale of Transformation and Relief
For nearly three decades, Cedric lived under the shadow of a persistent and agonizing condition. Now 50 years old, his battle with hemorrhoids began in his early 20s, casting a long, discomforting shadow over the best years of his life. The constant inflammation, bleeding, and pain became unwelcome companions, prompting him to explore every over-the-counter remedy he could find, but to no avail.
The situation reached a critical point when a hemorrhoidectomy was scheduled. The mere thought of the procedure, notorious for its painful recovery, filled Cedric with dread. Fear outweighed his desire for relief, and he made the tough decision to cancel the surgery, resigning himself to a life of discomfort and silent suffering.
Years rolled by, and the shadow grew darker with each flare-up. But fate had a different plan in store. At 50, during a routine health check, Cedric’s path crossed with a physician who was not only performing colonoscopies but also offered a ray of hope he had never dared to imagine – the Hemwellectomy. Just two weeks before this life-changing appointment, Cedric experienced one of the most severe flare-ups he had ever endured. It was as if life was pushing him towards a crossroads.
The day of the procedure arrived, and with it, a wave of anxiety mixed with a glimmer of hope. Cedric was meticulously briefed about the process – a mere 30 minutes for both the colonoscopy and Hemwellectomy. He learned that his condition, classified as a grade 3 hemorrhoid, was about to meet its match.
As Cedric woke up in the post-op room, an unfamiliar sense of calm enveloped him. To his astonishment, there was no pain, no discomfort, not even the slightest trace of bleeding. His doctor shared the incredible news – significant shrinkage of the hemorrhoid was observed during the procedure itself, and this remarkable progress was expected to continue over the next 24-48 hours.
True to the doctor’s words, Cedric’s recovery was nothing short of miraculous. He was back on his feet, resuming his normal activities the very same day. Three weeks later, a follow-up examination and scans confirmed what Cedric could already feel – the hemorrhoids were gone. The shadow that had loomed over his life for so long had finally lifted.
Today, Cedric is not just living; he’s thriving. With an invigorated spirit, he’s working out five days a week, embracing every moment with a vigor he thought was lost forever. There’s been no looking back, no recurrence of symptoms, just the open road of life ahead, filled with possibilities and free from pain.
Cedric’s journey is more than a personal victory; it’s a testament to the transformative power of the Hemwellectomy – a beacon of hope for countless others who continue to suffer in silence.
