Post hemorrhoidopexy complications
Today is day 34 after my stapled hemorrhoidopexy procedure along with laser. I had a prolapsed hemorrhoid for 5 years which used to come out only during defecation and needed to be manually pushed in. The prolapse outside the anus had grown to around 3 c.m in diameter. The surgeon had excised the hemorrhoid and has applied laser on the anal mucosa which is visible in the attached picture. I can still feel a distinct lump there. The surgeon, at the 2 week follow up said that it would shrink in a month. But I have stopped believing this. Can an online video consultation with another surgeon help or should I physically visit another surgeon who is an expert in this area? The pain has reduced mostly but due to the lump size there is a lot of discomfort. I need an opinion from the attached picture. Can I ever return back to sports and the gym? Please help. Thanks in advance. P.S: is it possible that the stapler size was inadequate in excising the hemorrhoid fully?

Post laser piles take time to shrink. You have to wait for 3months. If problem will persist, then you should consult and plan for further management of piles.
