What are the precautions for women after hemorrhoid surgery?

Hemorrhoids are not unfamiliar to women, because there are obviously more female hemorrhoid patients than male patients in life. Moreover, hemorrhoids are a disease that is really difficult to talk about, after all, the area where they occur is too sensitive. Of course, hemorrhoids can currently be treated through surgery, but it depends on the situation. So, what are the precautions for women after hemorrhoid surgery?

Women should develop good living habits after undergoing external hemorrhoid surgery. Taking a hot water sitz bath after defecation can not only clean the dirt in the folds of the anal skin, but also promote local blood circulation, which plays an important role in maintaining the cleanliness and physiological function of the anus.

Keep the anus clean and hygienic to avoid wound infection.

① Generally, you should wait 24 hours after the operation before you can defecate. Make sure your anus is clean after each defecation, otherwise the wound will easily become infected or become unhealed due to residual feces and bacteria, increasing the pain.

② Avoid wiping with paper after defecation. Wiping with paper will cause the patient excruciating pain. Moreover, it is not possible to wipe it clean with toilet paper, as there will be a lot of stains and bacteria remaining in the wrinkled tissue. The harder you wipe, the more and deeper the feces will be embedded in the anal folds, and the bacteria in the feces will multiply in large numbers, causing recurrent anal diseases.

③Do not use a basin to wash after defecation. Use a basin filled with water for cleaning, the water in the basin is recycled, which can easily cause secondary infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use a handheld washlet with warm water to rinse after defecation, which can not only avoid the pain caused by paper wiping, but also ensure the cleanliness of the anus.

Follow the doctor's instructions and do the fumigation and sitz bath on time to ensure the duration of the sitz bath and the efficacy.

① Sitz bath can improve blood circulation. During the process of drug fumigation and sitz bath, since the drug directly acts on the lesion site, the active ingredients in the drug solution can be absorbed through the granulation tissue of the skin or wound surface, quickly exert the drug effect, inhibit the release of inflammatory mediators, reduce the increased capillary permeability caused by various reasons, improve microcirculation, and promote the growth of new granulation tissue and wound healing.

② Sitz bath has a warming effect. The warm stimulation can reduce the excitability of pain nerves, reduce inflammatory edema, relieve the pressure on local nerve endings, relax tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments, thereby reducing the pain of the wound. Taking a sitz bath after surgery can also relieve the pain caused by constipation and help with bowel movements.
