Precautions after hemorrhoid surgery

Things to note after hemorrhoid surgery:

When hemorrhoids are severe, patients not only experience very obvious pain, but also frequent bleeding and may develop anemia in the long term, requiring timely treatment.

1. Precautions after hemorrhoid surgery

1. Get plenty of rest

You should stay in bed for three days before hemorrhoid surgery. After three days, you can get out of bed and do some activities, but be sure not to do strenuous activities to avoid heavy bleeding due to excessive activities.

2. Prevent colds

After hemorrhoid surgery, you should drink plenty of water, keep warm and prevent colds, because colds may induce coughing and make anal pain unbearable.

3. Pay attention to hygiene

After hemorrhoid surgery, people should clean the anus in time and keep it clean. After defecation, they can take a sitz bath with warm water and an appropriate amount of potassium permanganate to prevent bacterial invasion and infection.

4. Take medication on time

During the recovery period after hemorrhoid surgery, you should take hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs on time. Under normal circumstances, anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken for 3 to 5 days. If the inflammation is particularly severe, you should take it for 5 to 7 days to prevent infection.

2. Dietary taboos after hemorrhoid surgery

1. Eat a light diet

Pay attention to a light diet after hemorrhoid surgery. On the first day of surgery, you can drink some fresh juice, oatmeal porridge, white rice porridge and other well-digested foods to reduce the burden on the stomach. After defecation on the second day, you can eat normally. At this time, you should eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains. These foods have the effect of moisturizing the intestines and laxatives, which can avoid anal pain caused by constipation. Do not eat spicy food.

2. Eat honey appropriately

After hemorrhoid surgery, you can eat some honey every day, which is not only nourishing to the body, but also has the effect of moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. But be careful not to eat too much to avoid diarrhea.

3. Avoid drinking stimulating beverages

During the recovery period after surgery, try to drink less or no strong tea or coffee, and also be careful to quit drinking alcohol, so as not to affect the recovery of the wound due to these irritating foods.
