After surgery, patients are generally likely to experience anal pain, anal drop, wound bleeding, difficulty in urination, pain in defecation, and so on, and therefore have a great deal of concern about surgery and a kind of fear. In our clinical work, we often find that the mental state of patients after surgery is different, and the process of wound healing and recovery is also faster or slower. Patients who are optimistic recover faster, while those who are depressed recover slower. How to be optimistic? The first step is to understand the essence of the problems faced in the postoperative period, to enhance confidence in overcoming difficulties, and to maintain an optimistic spirit so as to pass through the postoperative recovery phase smoothly. Pain Problems Postoperative pain is unavoidable, but it is often not as serious as expected, and sometimes there is no obvious pain, and some patients even report that their postoperative pain is much lighter than that before the operation. Generally speaking, after the postoperative anesthesia effect, the pain is relatively strong, and once this period of time passes, the pain will gradually reduce. Meanwhile, for minor pain, taking general painkillers can relieve the pain. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the medical level, the postoperative pain has been significantly reduced, you do not have to worry about it, not to mention that you can not refuse the surgical treatment because of the fear of pain. Problem of falling sensation in anus On the day of surgery or within 3~5 days after surgery, the anus tends to have a falling sensation, and from time to time, you may feel that there is stool in the anus to be relieved. For this feeling, it is important not to go to squatting toilet frequently, which may easily cause swelling or hemorrhage of the wound. Patients should know that the post-surgical anal dropping sensation is very often a false sense of urgency formed after surgical treatment, in fact, there is no feces in the anus to be discharged. Appropriate bed rest can reduce or eliminate the sensation of falling. Defecation problems Some patients deliberately fast or restrict their diet because they are afraid of anal pain during defecation, which is actually totally unnecessary and unscientific. Most anal surgeries are open surgeries, and there is no need to control bowel movements after such surgeries. It is usually possible to defecate on the second or third day after the operation to facilitate the recovery of anal function. In order to have a smooth bowel movement, patients should make it a habit to have regular bowel movements after the operation, and promote stool softening through dietary modification or medication to keep the bowel movement smooth. Bleeding problem As the wound is open after surgery, it is normal to have a little blood on the stool paper. This is a normal phenomenon. Patients need not be nervous, as the wound heals, this phenomenon will disappear naturally. If there is more bleeding, notify your doctor in time, and your doctor will be ready to treat you. Meanwhile, pay attention to rest and avoid strenuous activities. Before the wound has healed, take care of moderate activity, even after the wound has completely healed, before the surgical scar has softened, strenuous activity has the potential to produce scar dehiscence. Through the above discussion, you should have an understanding of the basic situation after anorectal surgery, and I believe that your fear has been reduced a lot accordingly, and you should accept the treatment with a firm belief and a happy mood.
