After internal hemorrhoid surgery, you should also pay attention to the maintenance of the wound. So what are the specific precautions for recovery from internal hemorrhoid surgery?

1. Postoperative care and dietary care for hemorrhoids

Eat light and easily digestible semi-liquid food, such as lotus root powder, porridge, and congee, 1 to 4 days after the operation. Start eating soft food after 4 days, and avoid spicy, fatty, greasy, fragrant and dry foods, as well as foods that produce a lot of gas such as milk and beans, so as not to aggravate the dampness and heat. For those who are afraid to eat due to fear of defecation, we should patiently explain the importance of diet to physical recovery.

If urination is difficult, apply hot compress to the bladder area or listen to the sound of running water to induce urination, and inject 0.5 mg of neostigmine into the Zusanli acupoints on both sides. If ineffective, catheterization was performed.

Wound care after hemorrhoid surgery is generally to clean it with warm water (the water temperature is controlled at 35-40 degrees) every morning and evening. If conditions permit, you can use iodine cotton balls to disinfect the wound and the area around the wound. Use 200 ml of decocted Chinese medicine to add 1000 ml of hot water. When the water temperature reaches about 35-40 degrees, sit in the bath for about 15 minutes. Twice a day. After wiping it dry with a small towel, disinfect it again with an iodine cotton ball, apply hemorrhoid cream on the wound, insert a hemorrhoid suppository into the anus, and apply gauze (medical) externally.
