Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why there has been pus coming from my anus, and it has been swollen and painful. It gets better for a while, then the pain returns. Can elderly people with hemorrhoids have surgery?Doctor's answer:
Older people can undergo surgical treatment for hemorrhoids, but the prerequisite is whether they also have other diseases, such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. Whether an elderly person can have surgery depends on the presence of other diseases, and a comprehensive evaluation must be conducted to determine the appropriate surgical method based on the actual situation. Therefore, for your mother, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough comprehensive evaluation to allow the doctor to determine whether she can undergo surgery.
