Hemorrhoidectomy at Universal Hospital

You should be able to leave the hospital on the same day. However, you need to stay in Abu Dhabi for around 14 more days or until your doctor says it is okay for you to travel as you should not sit for a long period of time during the recovery period. 

You may need about one or two weeks off work to recover, but you should not do any strenuous activities such as intense exercises and heavy lifting for about 3 to 6 weeks. The total recovery period may take as long as 6 weeks. 

Hemorrhoidectomy is very common and generally safe, but it carries some side effects and risks, pain, bleeding, infection, difficulty urinating, loss of control of the rectal sphincter, damage or narrowing of the anal canal, and allergic reaction to the anesthetic.
