Hemorrhoid Surgery experiences

So I’ve always had a external or prolapsed hemorrhoid. It’s never caused me any problems. It’s never bled. It’s never hurt. Until 35 weeks pregnant with my second baby it became thrombosed and killer painful. It gets slightly large every now and then but never like it was when I was pregnant. 15 months later it is quite large right now. It is not thrombosed and only causing mild pain/discomfort. No bleeding. But I’m really starting to think about surgical procedures as a long-term treatment because I am sick of dealing with this. Who has had a procedure done. Tell me which kind you had and how it went. I’d love to know how long it took for the procedure itself and how long the recovery was. And the difficulty of recovery. Lastly was it worth it?
