I have mixed hemorrhoids and have undergone surgery as advised by my doctor. I would like to know what postoperative care measures should be taken after mixed hemorrhoid surgery?

Dr. Liu Shangang
After surgery for mixed hemorrhoids, patients should avoid consuming spicy and highly irritating foods to prevent constipation, which could lead to wound tearing. Secondly, prolonged sitting or standing in one position should be avoided, as this may impair local blood circulation. Additionally, it is important to keep the surgical area clean and dry. After surgery, the area may be gently rinsed with warm water, but it should be thoroughly dried afterward.
