It is generally recommended that a family member accompany you to the hospital during hemorrhoid surgery.
Anesthesia for hemorrhoid surgery mainly includes intrathecal anesthesia, general anesthesia and so on. Regardless of the type of anesthesia, patients are required to lie down for six hours after the operation. It takes some time for the anesthesia to wear off, and the patient’s vital signs and other conditions need to be observed, and family members are required to assist in urination and defecation after the operation.
However, some hospitals have already implemented the system of unaccompanied wards, with professional accompanying staff, without the need for family members to accompany. It is recommended that patients consult with the hospital to decide.
After the operation, patients are advised to observe the urination situation; change the medicine regularly to avoid wound infection; pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy and stimulating food, drink more water to prevent constipation or diarrhea, and so on.
Once you find hemorrhoids, if you have obvious discomfort symptoms, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner to clarify your condition and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of a professional doctor.
