Post-operative hemorrhoid surgery
Although the surgery does not cause pain, in the postoperative period it is normal for the patient to experience pain in the perineal region, especially when sitting and in their first evacuation after surgery because this region is more sensitive. In this way, the doctor usually says:
Use of analgesics to control pain and discomfort as Paracetamol every 8 hours.
Use of laxatives to make stools softer.
Make a cold shower water bath for 20 minutes at times necessary to lessen the discomfort.
Avoid using toilet paper and choose to wash the anal area, after evacuating, with warm water and neutral soap.
Use a doctor-oriented ointment 2 times a day to help heal the area.
After surgery the use of a round buoy-shaped cushion to sit down, decreasing the risk of bleeding and reducing pain. During the first month the individual should make a diet rich in fibers, to keep the stool soft, avoiding pain when defecating.
Usually, the patient does not need to remove the stitches and, after total healing, there are no scars.
Recovery time from hemorrhoid surgery
The recovery of surgery for hemorrhoids depends on the type and degree of hemorrhoid and the surgical technique performed, and recovery usually can vary from 1 week to 1 month, and the patient can resume his day-to-day activities.
It is normal for the patient to experience minor blood loss in the anal region during the first week after surgery, however if this bleeding is severe it is recommended to go to the hospital to see if you are recovering properly.
