Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your query health issues.

Based on the facts of your query reply is-Its alarming and you should report to your Surgeon - who operated on you.
These threads of high ligation and excision of hemorrhoids are kept only to control the risk of bleeding hemorrhoids in post- operative periods.Hence should not be handled without Surgeons advise.
As the post-operative period is small, chances of -post-operative hemorrhoid bleeding is more and to avoid it consult your surgeon

Treatment-Suggested-
Don't pullout manually, it could be dangerous as it could cause - bleeding bout.
You need to treat it by-
Liquid paraffin and dulcolax to avoid hard stool, thus avoiding bleeding from hard stools.


Consult and check with Surgeon - doctor and get stool test- if it does not respond.


Just don't worry till you verify with your attending doctors.
