Instructions for patients who have undergone Haemorrhoids (Piles / Anorectal) surgery at Sukhayu Hospital, Canada Corner, Nasik
After undergoing haemorrhoid surgery, it's essential for patients to follow certain care guidelines to promote healing and minimize discomfort. Here are some general care instructions:
Follow our doctor's advice: Our surgeon at Sukhayu Hospital will provide specific post-operative instructions based on the type of haemorrhoid surgery you underwent. Follow their advice carefully and ask questions if you have any doubts.
Pain management: Pain and discomfort are common after haemorrhoid surgery. Our doctor at Sukhayu Hospital may prescribe pain medication or suggest over-the-counter pain relievers. Take them as directed and inform our doctor if the pain is not adequately controlled.
Use prescribed medications: Our doctor at Sukhayu Hospital may prescribe stool softeners or laxatives to prevent constipation and strain during bowel movements. These medications can help minimize discomfort and aid in the healing process. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration.
Hygiene: Maintain good hygiene by keeping the anal area clean. Use warm water and a mild soap to gently clean the area after bowel movements. Pat the area dry with a soft towel or use a hairdryer on a low, cool setting. Avoid using harsh wipes or toilet paper.
Diet modifications: Eat a fibre-rich diet to promote regular bowel movements and prevent constipation. Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes in your meals. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine as they can irritate the digestive system.
Avoid straining: Straining during bowel movements can put pressure on the surgical site and hinder healing. Take your time on the toilet, and if needed, use a footstool or squatting position to facilitate easier passage of stools.
Physical activity: Light physical activity, such as walking, can aid in recovery by improving circulation and preventing blood clots. However, avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, or vigorous exercises until your doctor gives you the green light.
Sitz baths: Soaking in a warm sitz bath for 10-15 minutes several times a day can help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing. You can use a sitz bath kit or a shallow basin filled with warm water. Ensure the water is comfortably warm and not too hot.
Dressings and medications: If our doctor at Sukhayu Hospital applied any dressings or prescribed topical medications, follow their instructions regarding their removal or application. Avoid using any other creams or ointments without consulting our doctor first.
Follow-up appointments: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with our doctor at Sukhayu Hospital. They will assess your progress, remove any sutures if necessary, and address any concerns or complications that may arise.
Remember, these are general guidelines, and it's crucial to consult our doctor at Sukhayu Hospital for specific care instructions tailored to your condition and surgery.
