What should I do if my stool is too narrow after hemorrhoid surgery?

After hemorrhoid surgery, if stools become excessively narrow, it may be related to anal stenosis. To address this issue, the following measures can be taken: 1. Dietary adjustment: Increase intake of dietary fiber, such as whole wheat bread and oatmeal, to promote intestinal motility and relieve constipation, thereby reducing pain during defecation. 2. Bowel function training: Stimulate intestinal motility by drinking water and consuming high-fiber foods at regular times and fixed amounts to help restore normal bowel habits. 3. Anal dilation therapy: If symptoms persist, anal dilation under medical guidance—such as digital dilation or dilation using an anoscope—can be performed to improve anal stenosis. 4. Anal sphincter muscle exercises: Perform Kegel exercises (pelvic floor muscle training) under medical supervision to strengthen the anal sphincter muscles and improve blood circulation. 5. Surgical treatment: If anal dilation is ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered, such as anal sphincterotomy. Patients with concerns should seek timely medical consultation.
