What are the dietary taboos after perianal abscess surgery?

After perianal abscess surgery, attention to diet should not be ignored. Avoiding irritating foods, choosing easily digestible and fiber-rich foods, and maintaining adequate water intake will help with postoperative recovery. During the process of dietary adjustment, a mild, nutritious diet should be the main focus, and foods that may cause further irritation and infection should be avoided as much as possible.

1. Avoid spicy and high-fat foods: The wound is in the healing stage after surgery, and spicy and high-fat foods will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, which may cause wound inflammation or pain. Patients are advised to choose light foods, such as rice porridge, chicken breast, steamed fish, etc.

2. Increase dietary fiber intake: Dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis, help maintain smooth bowel movements, reduce the occurrence of constipation, and thus reduce pressure on the anus. Eating more vegetables such as spinach and carrots, and fruits such as apples and bananas, as well as whole wheat bread can effectively increase fiber.

3. Supplement protein and vitamins appropriately: Adequate protein helps wound healing. It is recommended to consume high-quality protein, such as tofu, eggs and fish. At the same time, consuming more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, can enhance immunity and help the body better resist infection.

A good diet after surgery can not only reduce the burden on the body but also speed up recovery. After perianal abscess surgery, reasonable control of dietary choices and ensuring adequate intake of nutrients and water play an important role in postoperative recovery. Postoperative diet conditioning is not only a key step in physical recovery, but developing good eating habits can also effectively prevent the recurrence of the disease. Patients should formulate a reasonable diet plan under the guidance of a professional physician or nutritionist according to their actual situation to ensure the best recovery effect.
