What should I give to a patient with hemorrhoids?

The incidence of hemorrhoids is particularly high. People often say that at least nine out of ten people suffer from hemorrhoids, but some are relatively mild, while others are so severe that they affect normal life and are then taken seriously. For patients with mild hemorrhoids, usually only some external medications are needed to relieve the pain, and at the same time, more attention should be paid to diet and good prevention measures should be taken. However, for severe patients, hospitalization and surgery are required for treatment. As for relatives and friends, what they are more concerned about is what kind of gift should they give to patients with hemorrhoids?

This article will help you sort out the difficulties and pains faced by hemorrhoid patients and tell you the best solutions. You will surely gain the sincere gratitude of your relatives and friends. What should I give to a patient with hemorrhoids?

Bring some fruit, apples and bananas.

Also tell her to pay attention to the following things which can be very helpful after hemorrhoid surgery.

Diet is an important factor in preventing hemorrhoids, alleviating hemorrhoid symptoms, and reducing the recurrence of hemorrhoids. Because constipation is one of the causes of hemorrhoids. From a preventive perspective, constipation should be prevented and bowel movements should be kept smooth. Therefore, you should eat more green vegetables and fresh fruits, such as celery, spinach, leek, day lily, wild rice stem, as well as apples, peaches, apricots, melons and other foods rich in fiber, which can increase gastrointestinal motility, moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, and excrete harmful substances and carcinogens from the intestines. In addition, foods that have a preventive effect on hemorrhoids include red beans, locust flowers, black sesame, Cistanche deserticola, pig large intestine, sheep large intestine, turtle meat, walnut meat, bamboo shoots, honey, etc.

Patients with hemorrhoids can prevent hemorrhoid recurrence and relieve symptoms by eating more of the above foods.

Hemorrhoid patients have four major sufferings:

1. The greatest pain a person can suffer is severe anal pain. Before the operation, the patient will experience severe pain in the anus due to edema and inflammation. Within one month after the operation, the patient will also feel very painful because the anal wound has not yet healed. At this time, what the patient needs most is the anal protection pad in the anorectal rehabilitation package. Because of its hollow design and moderate elasticity, the anus can be suspended in the air to breathe, which can promote venous blood return, accelerate the elimination of edema and wound healing, and avoid tenderness. Many seriously ill patients cannot even drive or sit in a car. Only with an anal protective pad can they work and eat normally, which promotes recovery.

2. The second pain that patients face is having to clean their anus with water after defecation. The folds of the anus are like chrysanthemums. Wiping with paper will only rub the feces into the folds and wounds of the anus. The harder you try to wipe it clean, the deeper the feces will be embedded, causing bacterial growth and aggravating inflammation and edema. There are no smart toilets during hospitalization, and the shower heads in the bathroom are fixed, so it is very difficult for patients to clean their feces. If they use a basin to wash, it is equivalent to washing in water contaminated by feces, and the result can be imagined. Therefore, patients need the handheld Washlet in the anorectal rehabilitation kit, and they need to rinse with water after each bowel movement to thoroughly clean the anus before taking the medicine. At the same time, using water can avoid pain. Some patients dare not even touch it, let alone wipe it with paper. Even after the patient recovers, he or she should develop the good habit of cleaning the anus after defecation.

3. The third pain that patients suffer is that it is difficult to complete the fumigation and sitz bath prescribed by the doctor. Fumigation sitz bath is an important method to accelerate venous blood circulation, eliminate edema and promote healing. However, the correct fumigation time is 5 minutes, and the sitz bath time is 15 minutes, a total of 20 minutes. Most people cannot squat on the ground with a basin for 20 minutes as their knees cannot bear it, and they often finish the process hastily, which greatly weakens the therapeutic effect. Some people simply cannot squat, such as pregnant women and the elderly. Squatting also carries the risk of tearing the anal wound. This requires the anal hydrotherapy device in the anorectal rehabilitation kit, which should be placed on the toilet, and the entire treatment process should be completed in a sitting position without any compromise.

4. Other common pains of hospitalization:

1. The ward is a public environment with several patients and caregivers, so there are noise and light disturbances, which lead to patients not being able to rest well. This problem can be solved by using a sleeping bag specially designed for the inpatient environment.

2. The toilet in the ward is shared by many people, which poses a risk of cross infection. You can prepare a toilet mat for the ward.

3. Severe patients may have to stay in bed for a long time and cannot take a bath. In this case, you can prepare a shampoo for hospitalization. The patient can wash his hair in bed and wipe the body with a wet towel. 3. Hospitalization usually takes 7-15 days, and intravenous drips are required every day. Patients cannot use mobile phones with one hand, so a mobile phone holder can be prepared for the bedside.

4. You need to stay in bed and drink water in the first few days after the operation. Drinking water from a cup while lying down will cause choking, which often leads to violent coughing, causing contraction and severe pain in the anus. Therefore, specially designed inpatient water cups are needed, with anti-contamination straws to prevent infection and choking, and patients can operate them with one hand. If you give patients an anorectal rehabilitation kit and the above-mentioned essential items for hospitalization, they will definitely be surprised and grateful!
