I am a 35 year old female and have been suffering from external and internal hemorrhoids since young. They did not bother me much, only when after BM, I need to push them back. But when they started bleeding too much, in year 2009, 1 decided to have the stapled hemorrhoidectomy done in SGH to remove the Third Degree Piles.
Unfortunately, 3 weeks after the surgery, an external hemorrhoid appeared suddenly with severe pain. I went back to see the surgeon and was advised that it will be alright with some pain medication. I ask him how to get rid of it and he suggested that it be cut out. I know I can't take the pain so I leave it there with a lump outside the anus. After all these, I tell myself I am going to go through surgery again.
But recently, I noticed that the lump will grow bigger. I tell myself that I am not going to go through those painful experiences again so I start to look for other alternative ways to treat it other than surgery. While checking thru the website, I saw this advertisement of Tonvo Medical Hall - TCM physician using non-surgical options to treat piles. And at the same time, my husband friend recommend the same TCM to us.
So I decided to give it a try and see the TCM physician. Physician Koh told me that I still have 3 internal and 1 external hemorrhoids left after the surgery.
The cost is not a small sum for me but after some consideration, I decided to believe him and the treatment started by tiding the internal one first. His TCM methods is basically using some specially treated herbal string at the hemorrhoids and leave it there till the hemorrhoids 'die' off by itself including the 'root'. He is quite confidently proclaimed that none of his client comes back again to him for hemorrhoids treatment and the hemorrhoids will be gone forever.
After a few days, the external one was treated. Although he said that I only need to rest for half a day but it was very painful that I took 3 days leave to rest at home. As there was wound, it was quite painful but compare to the pain after my previous surgery, it was bearable. Now after 2-3 weeks of the treatment, I am in the recovery stage and I hope that the wound will heal soon without any recurrence.
For those who suffer with piles and hemorrhoids, I would want to recommend Physician Koh to them although the treatment fee is not cheap. But as compare with the sufferings, I would say it is worthy.
