How long it takes to change the specific incision after hemorrhoid surgery depends mainly on the way the patient was operated and the post-operative recovery situation. For hemorrhoids that are simply locally sclerosed or have relatively minor lesions, the recovery time after surgery is relatively short, and the medication changes can basically heal in about 5-10 days with more satisfactory results. For circumferential hemorrhoidectomies with larger lesions, these types of hemorrhoid surgeries may take longer to change the medication, taking about 10 days and every 1-2 days. With defecation you also need to perform regular dressing changes of the incision to prevent fecal contamination around the hemorrhoid and reduce the chance of infection. Hemorrhoid surgery dressing changes depend on the specific recovery situation, and for poorer recoveries, it is appropriate to extend the dressing changes for 3-5 days. Hemorrhoid surgery medication changes must be done at a regular anorectal surgeon for detailed consultation and treatment.
