Side effects of hemorrhoidectomies?

I hope I spelled it right.
I ask this question because I’m gay and I wanna know if after having hemorrhoids surgically removed, I’d still be able to have anal sex, if it would be painful or not, if I would bleed, if there’s a chance of becoming impotent (as I read once), etc.
And another thing, while having the problem (not having yet the operation), what could happen if you have sex, and if you use lubricant?
Oh, and is “Anusol” anything like Prep H? Cuz we don’t have Prep H here but we do have Anusol.
Thanks a lot!

There is not a lot of info out there regarding what can happen after surgery. You might search out a doctor who is comfortable talking about these issues. Here is some info I found:

Anal sex shouldn’t hurt. Having hemorrhoids can make anal sex painful. People who find anal sex painful often do not use enough water-based lube; others are not relaxed or aroused enough. Using lots of lube — which makes anal (and vaginal) sex more slippery and wet — can increase pleasure for both you and your partner. Relaxation will also minimize or prevent the possibility of tearing the thin lining of the rectum, and make insertion easier and more comfortable. Some people relax by taking a warm bath; others begin with a massage, starting with the butt and inner thighs, then gently playing in and around the anal sphincter with a finger. As the sensations become more comfortable and pleasurable, some people experiment by placing more fingers inside the anus. Others might progress to a small sex toy, or be ready to be penetrated by a larger toy, or even a penis. Communication with your partner about what feels good and how you want to be touched is essential for enjoyable anal play.

Although you can have anal sex when you have hemorrhoids, it’s better to wait until they’ve healed. Friction and pressure from penetration can cause further irritation, discomfort, and pain. In addition, hemorrhoids that bleed may place you at increased risk for HIV infection, since the HIV virus can be transmitted more easily through an open “cut” or “wound.” Whenever you have anal sex — if you have hemorrhoids or not — it’s safer to use condoms and lube if you don’t know your partner’s HIV status. http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1925.html?CFID=277115&CFTOKEN=97076474
I am a woman who recently experienced my first hemorrhoids. They were painful, revolting and extremely embarrassing. Sitting in the stirrups while my doctor treated them was humiliating enough — I couldn’t bear to ask her this question: how long should I wait before I have anal sex? PAIN IN THE…

Again with the ass and me calling doctors! The Hassle Free Clinic says you can proceed with anal sex “when you feel comfortable,” but use plenty of lube and take it slow.

Some invasive surgery in the genital/anal area takes about six weeks to heal completely, but a hemorrhoidectomy, according to Heidi at Dr. Stubbs’ office, may take only a week, depending on the severity of your condition and whether the procedure is done at a hospital or clinic. Looks like you’ll be riding that red-eye flight again in no time.
Pick up a copy of the book Anal Pleasure and Health, by Jack Morin. Morin offers a seven-step program on hemorrhoid self-healing — in case you have to deal with this again. http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_05.17.01/columns/lovebites.html
