Dr. Zhou Xinjun
After hemorrhoid surgery, patients should consume foods rich in vitamins and protein to promote postoperative recovery, including eggs, dairy products, meat, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Local wound care is essential after surgery—keep the perianal area clean and dry, and change dressings regularly. Additionally, drink plenty of water and consume high-fiber foods to facilitate bowel movements. Maintain a light, bland diet postoperatively and avoid spicy or irritating foods, as these may exacerbate perianal edema and pain.
