What should patients with hemorrhoids pay attention to after surgery?

Hemorrhoids are a common disease in life, and the incidence rate in women is generally higher than that in men. Mild hemorrhoids can be treated with medication, but severe cases may require surgery. Hemorrhoid surgery does not mean that patients can do whatever they want after the surgery. There are also many things to note. So let me tell you about it today.

1. Eat a light diet, eat less spicy, fried, deep-fried, strong alcoholic and other indigestible irritating foods, eat more fruits, vegetables and fiber foods, drink more water, especially bananas, honey and other laxative foods.

2. Do not stand or sit for long periods of time, and increase exercise appropriately, especially pelvic floor exercises.

3. Have regular bowel movements every day (even if you don't have a bowel movement, you should go to the toilet regularly to do bowel movement reflex training). Each bowel movement should not be too long, about 5 minutes is appropriate.

4. Take a sitz bath and steam before and after defecation to keep the anus clean.

5. Drink a glass of warm salt water or cold boiled water every morning to promote intestinal peristalsis.

6. If the stool is dry, you can take laxatives appropriately.

These good habits in life should be developed even if you do not have anorectal diseases, because most anorectal diseases are caused by bad living habits.
