Is hemorrhoid surgery painful?

Although hemorrhoids do not threaten life, they can cause a lot of pain to patients. In order to eliminate hemorrhoids as soon as possible, many patients choose to undergo surgery.

1. Does hemorrhoid surgery hurt?

Hemorrhoid surgery is a kind of injury to the anus. After all, the nerves here are very delicate, the blood vessels are very rich, and the various nerves and muscles are closely related. After hemorrhoid surgery, the integrity of the skin tissue is destroyed, and pain symptoms will naturally occur. If it is a regular hemorrhoid surgery, because the surgery is relatively rough, it may tear the sphincter and damage the nerves and blood vessels, so the pain is also more severe.

2. Which type of hemorrhoid surgery is less painful?

If the patient does not want to have such great pain, then do not choose the traditional surgical method, but choose minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery has a small wound and the treatment is very thorough. The patient can defecate normally 24 hours after the operation, and the patient will not feel so much pain. Local anesthesia will be performed before the operation to ensure that the patient has no obvious pain during and after the operation, which will help the patient recover after the operation.

3. Precautions after hemorrhoid surgery

1. Keep the anus clean and hygienic to avoid infection

After hemorrhoid surgery, you should always pay attention to keeping the anus clean. The anal area must be cleaned after each bowel movement to avoid residual feces contaminating the wound, causing bacterial infection and increasing the patient's pain.

2. Do not wipe your anus with paper after defecation

After hemorrhoid surgery, do not wipe the anus with paper after defecation, otherwise it will cause strong pain. If the toilet paper is not clean, there will still be a lot of bacterial residues in the folds. It is best to wash it directly with warm water, but do not use basin water, but use running water.

3. Avoid friction and pressure on the wound

After surgery, try to avoid friction and pressure before the wound heals. When sitting, use an anal protective pad to lift the anus to reduce friction and pressure, keep the wound breathable, and help the wound heal.
