[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was my experience when I had skin tags caused by external hemherroids. Get a mirror. If you see anything...unusual... see a colorectal surgeon. [/quote]

Did you have them removed?  WAs it bad?  I have had this problem for a while but am afraid to get them removed.[/quote]

I did. I had THD surgery for my internal hemherroids and I had the external skin tags removed during one procedure.

Honestly? It sucked. It hurt. I was popping painkillers like there was no tomorrow. Pooping was scary and bloody and painful. I moaned like a cow in labor. I thought I'd made a terrible mistake and wished I could turn back time and never have the surgery.

But...

Here I am six weeks later. I am completely healed and I have no hemherroids, no pain, my butt looks like just a butt again. I'm glad I did it. But it was kind of horrible.

Having said that, I may have had a particularly bad experience because I had grade III 'roids, and two different procedures done at once. I know not everyone has such a rotten time. Some people are back to normal in a few days. I was miserable for a week, cranky for another week, and then I was okay.

Thanks for asking. :D[/quote]

Ugh. Np here and I think I am in the same boat. Saw a specialist last week who referred me to a colon/rectal surgeon to look at the skin tag that I have in addition to a hemeroid (internal, I believe). In the meantime, I have some steroid suppositories. All and all a pleasant predicament. From what I had read online the surgery didnt sound that horrible but now I will adjust my expectations appropriately. [/quote]
