How to relieve pain after hemorrhoid surgery
Disease description:
Proctology
After hemorrhoid surgery, pain and discomfort commonly occur due to surgical trauma and stimulation of nerves around the anus. To alleviate this pain, the following measures should be taken:
1. Dietary adjustment: Postoperative diet should be light and consist mainly of easily digestible foods such as rice porridge, noodles, and vegetables. Spicy, greasy, and coarse foods should be avoided. Maintain adequate fluid intake to prevent constipation and reduce pressure on the anal area.
2. Rest and recuperation: After surgery,尽量卧床休息,避免长时间站立或久坐,以 reduce pressure on the anal region. Use pillows to elevate the buttocks, which helps relieve pressure and promotes wound healing.
3. Medication: Take pain-relieving medications as directed by your doctor. Anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medications may also be used to aid wound healing.
4. Warm water sitz baths: Perform daily warm water sitz baths for 15–20 minutes each time. This helps relax the muscles around the anus, improves blood circulation, and accelerates wound healing.
5. Hygiene: Keep the anal area clean after surgery. Wash daily with warm water, avoiding friction or vigorous wiping to prevent wound infection.
