Generally, whether crabs can be consumed after surgery for anal fistula mainly depends on the patient's postoperative recovery condition. If the wound heals well, crabs can usually be eaten. However, if there are postoperative issues such as diarrhea or constipation, eating crabs is not recommended. If discomfort occurs, it is advised to seek timely medical consultation and follow standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If the patient has passed the acute recovery phase and there are no signs of infection or other complications, with good wound healing, the diet can gradually return to normal. In this case, eating crabs after anal fistula surgery is acceptable.

If the patient experiences problems such as diarrhea, constipation, or indigestion after surgery, foods that may burden the gastrointestinal tract should be avoided, including high-protein and hard-to-digest foods such as crabs. In such cases, eating crabs after anal fistula surgery is not advisable.

Regardless of whether crabs are consumed, it is important to maintain a light and easily digestible diet, avoiding the intake of spicy, greasy, or irritating foods to promote recovery and wound healing.
