The first couple of bowel movements made her rethink the decision, but after that she's been glad she did it. The recovery time was really pretty short. Probably around a week, and doctor told me she had one of the largest internal hemmorhoids he had ever removed.

After her experience, i think i'd be ok with getting them taken care of, though thankfully, i don't have that issue.
