Incontinence

Incontinence is the main reason that I luckily never went through with surgery for my hemorrhoids.

Surgeons will tell you that the risk is minimal, however I was not prepared to take even a minimal risk.

During surgery it is easy for the surgeon to mistakenly touch, or cut the nerves that control your stools, or the nerves that control your urine. This is easily done because the nerves run throughout the anus and the hemorrhoid is part of the same.

When they cut the hemorrhoids out or staple them, it is a very delicate procedure to avoid these particular nerves.

If they touch the stool sensor nerves, this will result in you passing wind without realizing it. On the same token, if the stool sensor nerves are very badly damaged, the consequences are that you will not be aware at all of you passing the stools.

The same applies to the urine sensor nerves. If these nerves are damaged in any way, then you will urinate yourself without realizing you are doing so.

This permanent damage can be very daunting for some people, and you would have to live for the rest of your life with nappies.

To me the thought of remaining with this problem is one of the worst things in life, and this forced my brain in overdrive until I came up with the permanent cure for hemorrhoids, avoiding all surgery.
