Many patients with severe hemorrhoids will choose surgical treatment. This is also the most direct treatment method and has good therapeutic effects. However, you still need to take good care after surgery, otherwise it will increase the chance of recurrence. Today, let’s talk about how to care for the anus after hemorrhoid surgery?
1. The defecation time should not be too long
Most hemorrhoid patients have the habit of going to the toilet to read and look at mobile phones, which makes the defecation time too long. Some people even need more than ten minutes, but they don’t know that when people are in a squatting or sitting position , the pressure on the anus is very large, which over time will cause the rectal veins to be congested for a long time, which will eventually induce hemorrhoids. Therefore, patients with hemorrhoids should not have to defecate for too long each time.
2. Defecate regularly and actively.
Hemorrhoid patients should also develop the habit of defecation regularly and actively. It is recommended that patients with hemorrhoids arrange their bowel movements after getting up in the morning, or about half an hour after breakfast, and develop the habit of defecating as soon as they feel the urge to defecate, because often holding in the stool will increase the chance of constipation and cause hemorrhoids to ulcerate due to friction. Or an infection may make the condition more serious.
3. Keep the perianal area clean.
Hemorrhoid patients can choose to clean the skin around the anus with warm water after defecation. This can keep the perianal area clean and hygienic and avoid bacterial growth.
4. Do more levator exercises
The root cause of hemorrhoids is the downward movement of the anal cushion. Therefore, patients with hemorrhoids should usually do more levator exercises. People who do not suffer from hemorrhoids can also do levator exercises regularly. For prevention It also has good results for hemorrhoids.
