The application of food therapy after hemorrhoid surgery

Hemorrhoids are a common and frequent disease, and dietary regimen after hemorrhoid surgery plays a very important role in the recovery of patients. The application of dietary therapy after hemorrhoid surgery is now briefly discussed. I. Post-operative nutrition and diet taboos Patients need to supplement certain nutrients during post-operative recovery to promote repair of damaged tissues, wound healing and recovery of the body. The second day after surgery, when the bowel movement is normal and there is defecation, you can eat some fresh fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, apples, celery, spinach, etc. These foods are not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but also contain a certain amount of fiber. But at the same time should also pay attention to eating in moderation, should not be full meals, diet more than the spleen and stomach’s ability to bear can also damage the body and lead to other diseases. The basic theory of Chinese medicine has always been that the cause of hemorrhoids is “heat will be hemorrhoids”, and that heat in the small intestine will be hemorrhoids, and heat in the large intestine will be blood in the stool. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular items in the world. Second, the dietary arrangements of the postoperative period after hemorrhoid surgery need to be combined with the patient’s general condition and anal wound healing situation for dietary therapy 1, the day after surgery and the second day after surgery to fluid is appropriate, avoid soy products, dairy products, pasta and soups containing more fat, control the patient’s bowel movements within 2 days after surgery. If the intraoperative bleeding is more or the trauma is larger, pig liver soup, red bean and red date porridge or ginseng and jujube tea can be eaten appropriately. 2.From the second day after surgery, after the bowel movement returns to normal, patients start to eat ordinary diet and can eat foods with high protein content such as fish, lean meat, turtle and fresh vegetables and fruits. But it should be noted that in the 7-10 days after surgery should not eat more fibrous food, because this period is just the hemorrhoid ligature line off stage, too much feces or too many bowel movements can easily lead to secondary bleeding of the trauma. When the hemorrhoid ligature line is off then high protein, multi-fiber foods, such as astragalus carp soup, pigeon ham soup, etc., have a role in promoting the healing of the wound. Also pay attention to a reasonable diet, so vegetables and fruits should not be neglected, which can keep the stool smooth and soft. Third, the dietary treatment for post-operative constipation or diarrhea patients Post-operative hemorrhoid patients with constipation or diarrhea are not conducive to wound healing, so early prevention is necessary. 1, generally require patients to start defecating after 48 hours after surgery, once a day, soft and shaped is better, so as to avoid wound pain caused by increased abdominal pressure during defecation, but also to reduce the friction damage to the wound surface, so the second day after surgery can be instructed to eat some vegetables and fruits. If on the third day after surgery, the patient still has no stool, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent constipation, at this time, in addition to increasing the fiber food, but also appropriate to increase some fruits containing oil, such as sesame, walnuts, can also eat honey porridge (honey 50 grams, glutinous rice 50 grams of porridge) can laxative, banana porridge can clear heat and laxative, in addition to the night before bed with warm water to take a small amount of sesame oil, or the next morning on an empty stomach with light salt boiling water A cup. After the above dietary therapy, generally can make the patient stool discharge. 2, if the patient has diarrhea after surgery, the first attention to dietary hygiene and food hot and cold. At this time, the diet should be light, easy to digest, can eat some with astringent intestinal anti-diarrhea products, such as yam, amaranth, amaranth, gravy, dates, etc., can also be fried rice yellow porridge to help digestion. In addition, a decoction of psyllium is taken as tea, which can help to stop diarrhea through the effect of the stool. For patients with weak spleen and stomach, it is necessary to prevent slippery bowel due to excessive consumption of cold products. The post-operative complications of the dietary management of the complications of patients after hemorrhoid surgery, in addition to timely symptomatic treatment, dietary management also help patients to recover, thus playing a complementary role with drug therapy. 1. Local edema of the anus is one of the most common symptoms after hemorrhoid surgery. The patient can be given some food bait that clears heat and detoxifies the body, helps to reduce swelling, such as cuttlefish, amaranth, chrysanthemum brain, goldenseal, radish, etc. You can also add mung bean soup, adzuki bean soup, corn beard soup, etc. to the liquid diet, which will help the edema to subside. 2, hemorrhoid surgery after urinary difficulties, and even urinary shutdown occurs mostly in the day after surgery and the next day, often due to the pain of the incision reflexively caused by bladder sphincter spasm. In addition to symptomatic treatment, in the diet can take radish soup, loofah soup, winter melon soup and coix seeds, seaweed, etc. Patients can also be instructed to eat watermelon, water chestnuts to promote the increase in urine volume, stimulate the bladder, enhance the desire to urinate and prompt urination. 3, after hemorrhoid surgery occasionally when a small amount of bleeding during defecation, then do not need to deal with. However, about 1 week after surgery, when the ligated threads slip off due to local tissue shrinkage and necrosis or friction from stool, it can lead to secondary bleeding, at this time, you can appropriately give lotus root slices, capers, eggplant, etc., which can play the role of hemostasis and astringency. In conclusion, the use of dietary therapy after hemorrhoid surgery can not only prevent or reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, but also play a role in the repair and healing of the wound, and also help the patient’s recovery.
