How to regulate the diet after hemorrhoid surgery

The hemorrhoid patients are often afraid to defecate after surgery, because the pain of the anal wound will be aggravated after defecation, so they want to control the number of stools by restricting the diet, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing irritation and reducing pain. In fact, this view is one-sided and even wrong. We believe that after hemorrhoid surgery, 1-2 bowel movements per day is normal, and regular daily bowel movements are conducive to the early recovery of anal sensation and contractile function. So how should you regulate your diet after hemorrhoid surgery? 1, the day after surgery to eat a moderate amount of easily digestible and soft food is good, not only to fill the hunger, but also to replenish vitamins and water, to minimize the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, to facilitate physical recovery, such as drinking some fresh fruit juice, punch cereal, thin white rice porridge, etc. better. 2, the first day after surgery is still based on a light diet, such as noodles, fresh fish soup, pork ribs soup, steamed buns, etc. 3, the second day after surgery can be normal defecation, only to ensure sufficient diet to make a certain amount of stool in the intestinal cavity, if the number of stool in the intestinal cavity is not enough, but hope to keep the bowel movement smooth, is impossible. Therefore, adequate and scientific and rational intake of food is a prerequisite for both keeping the stool open and regulating the softness of the stool. Since the recovery of the body and the repair of the trauma require a large amount of nutritional supplementation, a normal diet can be resumed from this time onward to supplement sufficient nutrition, improve the body’s resistance to disease, ensure the healing of the trauma and prevent the occurrence of complications. Therefore, you can eat normally on the second day after surgery. 4. In order to keep the stool open every day after the surgery, patients who have a clear urine must drink more water to keep enough water in the intestine to soften the stool, excrete smoothly, reduce the irritation to the trauma and relieve the pain. In addition, to ensure that the amount of food and drink among the three meals a day, eat more fresh soup, corn juice, etc., to increase the moisture in the intestine. 5, eat more food containing coarse fiber, because it is not easily digested and absorbed in the intestine, and can help absorb water in the intestinal cavity, forming hydrocolloids, which helps to further soften the stool. You can also eat more vegetables and fruits, and enhance the laxative effect mainly with coarse grains. Such as bok choy, cabbage, leeks, celery, radish, potatoes and other vegetables, corn porridge, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains. 6, eat 2-3 spoons of honey daily, or eat some fat-rich walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, soybeans, etc., have a laxative effect. It must be stressed that hemorrhoid patients should eat less, or even not eat spicy, fried foods after surgery, because most of these foods can cause intestinal dryness and heat, affecting the smooth flow of stool, increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to the patient’s post-operative recovery.
