How long does it take to change the dressing after hemorrhoid surgery?

Dressing change after hemorrhoid operation is a very important nursing method, which is closely related to the rehabilitation of hemorrhoid patients. In order to avoid the adverse consequences caused by improper dressing change, it is scientific to introduce in detail how to change the dressing after hemorrhoid surgery.

Steps/methods

1

Patients should defecate 24 hours after operation, but pressure packing should be used during operation to prevent postoperative bleeding, so it can generally be done after 12 hours after operation.

Remove the pressure dressing. This can reduce postoperative reactions such as abdominal distension and dysuria.

Before the first defecation after operation, patients should take warm saline sitz bath to relax sphincter and relieve anal pain caused by the first defecation. The first dressing change should be gentle, and vaseline gauze, traditional Chinese medicine Shengji Yuhong ointment gauze or red gauze can be inserted into the anus to achieve the effect of diminishing inflammation and relieving pain, which is beneficial to wound drainage. When the gauze is inserted into the anus, it should enter the anus from normal anal canal skin. It is not advisable to enter from a wound with a wound. Before putting these drugs into the anus, oil agents such as Ma Yinglong Hemorrhoids Ointment and Sihuang Ointment should be applied to relieve the anal pain symptoms of patients when changing medicine. In addition, when the middle bending forceps enter the anus, the forceps tip should point to the back of the anus, which conforms to the anatomical structure of the anus and rectum and can alleviate the pain of the patient.

three

It is best to change the dressing every day after hemorrhoid operation 1 time. Too many times of dressing change, such as 2 ~ 3 times a day, can damage the new tender tissue, but prolong the wound healing time. Too little dressing change or no dressing change after operation is easy to cause false healing of the wound. Although the hemorrhoid was cured, the patient also formed a subcutaneous fistula and needed another operation.

The dressing change method after hemorrhoid surgery includes paying attention to the growth of granulation tissue. If the granulation tissue grows too fast and too high, resulting in poor wound drainage, too much granulation tissue should be removed, or hypertonic saline should be applied to too much granulation tissue to make the wound drainage smooth.
