How long is normal for bleeding after an abortion?

Hemorrhoids are a very common disease, which has many causes. Medication is the best choice for treating hemorrhoids. However, for some severe hemorrhoidal diseases, surgical treatment is required, which helps to alleviate the patient's condition. So why does defecation become difficult after hemorrhoid surgery? Many people are not clear about this, but this situation occurs quite often. Let's introduce it in detail below.

What causes difficulty in defecation after hemorrhoid surgery?

It is normal to have difficulty defecating after hemorrhoid surgery. The main reason is the pain in the wound after hemorrhoid surgery, which makes defecation even more painful. Therefore, patients are afraid of defecation, which leads to longer intervals between bowel movements. Because feces are stored in the rectum for too long, too much water is absorbed, which eventually causes constipation. In addition, some patients may suffer from constipation due to taking antipyretic and analgesic drugs, sweating too much or drinking too little water after surgery. The following is a detailed analysis:

One is difficulty in defecation 4-6 hours or longer after surgery. This is probably due to the anesthesia. Because during hemorrhoid surgery, anesthesia is required to prevent pain in the surgical area and surrounding tissues. The bladder and urethra are neighbors of the anus, and the nerves that control them are also affected by anesthetics. Therefore, when the anesthetic effect has not yet worn off, there will be temporary difficulty in defecation. As the anesthetic wears off, bowel function will gradually return to normal.

The other is due to non-anesthetic reasons. Mainly, the muscles around the anus (sphincter) are stimulated by the surgery, and the pain and stimulation of defecation will cause the nerves of these sphincters to connect with the nerves that control the bladder and urethral sphincter. Therefore, when the anal sphincter spasms and contracts, the sphincters of the urethra and bladder also spasm and contract, which may result in difficulty in defecation. In this case, the more nervous the patient is, the more severe the difficulty in defecation will be. In this regard, in addition to comforting the patient, explaining the reasons, and eliminating the patient's concerns, you can also take methods such as pain relief, hot water sitz baths, and catheterization. The patient's difficulty in defecation will gradually disappear.

After understanding why defecation is difficult after hemorrhoid surgery, when improving defecation difficulty after hemorrhoid surgery, it should be done according to one's own reasons. And it should be noted that after the treatment of hemorrhoids, such diseases should be prevented, otherwise such diseases will continue to occur and cause great harm to one's own body.
