Matters needing attention after hemorrhoid operation

Precautions after hemorrhoid surgery are what many hemorrhoid patients need to pay attention to. If you continue to indulge in spicy food and constipation cannot be effectively treated, hemorrhoids may still occur. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the health care of anus and rectum after hemorrhoid operation.

1 Pay attention to adjusting stool, prevent constipation, and reduce irritation and friction damage to tender wounds. Such as eating more vegetables or bananas, pears, honey and so on.

Don't eat spicy food, so as not to stimulate the wound and affect its healing.

Pay attention to the cleanliness of anus and the protection of wound, and continue to take sitz bath and medication. Because some patients have just healed the surgical wound when they leave the hospital, the wound is tender and easy to be injured, or the wound has not healed yet, they should pay attention to protection and continue to wash in the sitz bath. If the wound has not healed, the dressing should be changed, and if it has just healed, some ointment such as hemorrhoid ointment should be applied to protect the wound. In addition, it is not advisable to use too hard toilet paper when defecating.

Due to the destruction of anal gland and other structures by operation, there will be some dry and uncomfortable feeling in anal area within 3 months after operation, or dry and stinging feeling during defecation. Patients with these discomforts can continue to take traditional Chinese medicine sitz bath, and apply hemorrhoid ointment or place hemorrhoids suppository in anus to alleviate or eliminate these discomforts;

5. Appropriate rest: Small anal operations such as peeling of thromboexternal hemorrhoids can generally be cured without rest after discharge, but larger operations, especially patients with unhealed or newly healed incisions, should be properly rested to reduce friction and stimulation to the wound surface, so as to facilitate the recovery of the wound surface. Please adopt it. Thank you.
