Dr. Mohammed Hatem AlsubaihWhy discuss evacuation before surgery?
Removing hemorrhoids does not necessarily correct pelvic-floor coordination. Prolonged straining or blockage despite soft stool deserves separate assessment instead of attributing every symptom to hemorrhoids.
Does everyone need manometry?
No. History and examination guide functional testing or balloon expulsion. Tests should not be routine for every hemorrhoid patient, and a questionnaire alone cannot diagnose dyssynergia.
How should treatment be sequenced?
Ask which symptoms each intervention targets and whether stool regulation or training should precede or accompany the procedure. Evacuation dysfunction does not always prevent hemorrhoid treatment, but changes expectations and follow-up.
