Scars after hemorrhoid surgery can be softened by local physical therapy or medication application. 1. Local physical therapy: (1) Warm water sitz bath: put about fifty degrees of hot water into a clean bath tub, put the anus and perineum into the tub. Keep taking sitz bath for about twenty minutes each time. It has better effect on softening the scar. (2) Infrared physical therapy: You need to go to the hospital for this treatment. 2. Drug application: such as keloid ointment to apply, also has a certain effect. In addition to this, you should avoid hard defecation to reduce the local tear, keep the local clean, eat more vegetables and fruits and other food containing crude fiber to prevent the scar tissue stimulation, and promote the softening of the scar. It is worth noting that: hemorrhoid wounds usually heal in 3-4 weeks after surgery, and at this time the healing is mostly scar healing, and scar softening back to normal takes about six months.
