Good morning @mothercare1990 (Good evening since you are in Africa) and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am so sorry to hear about your struggles after stapled hemorrhoid surgery. You came to the right place. There are several here that have been through similar obstacles including @gibssy174 @oceanone @virginia44 and @tiss. We members on Connect are not medical professionals and don't give medical advice, but can certainly share our experiences. It must be very difficult to travel so far to get medical care. Are you considering going through with the surgery again? Have they suggested any alternative solutions?

Yes am back to Indian, I have done a lot of test and all that required.they said I need open surgery for external and internal hemorrhoids that is bleedind. And was surprised to here rectal mocusal prolapse. which they said all the procedure will be together.
Was better before I did the first surgery which I think was mistake from first surgeon and here nobody care about the health just business as usual. even when u asked question is horrible but am believing God that one will still have normal life and hoping the surgeon will be good this time.

Note Colonscopy:
EXTERNAL examination:large external hemorrhoid.
Colonscopy passed the caecum.
Scope withdraw and detailed evaluation of mocus done.
Tortus colon. No mucusal abnormality.
But scarrying from previous surgery noted in rectum.

MRI DEFECATION RESULTS.
Mild rectal mocusal prolapse with mimimal defecation.
While barium enema
Said mild colitis recto sigmoid which is normal in most cases.

I want to know if one can live a normal life after this. Surgery will be done after this whole virus problem.
