Patients after hemorrhoid surgery should pay attention when defecating: (1) Empty the stool as much as possible: Some patients are afraid to defecate because of anal pain after surgery, or end defecation before the stool is emptied because of anal pain, which leads to the residual stool staying in the rectum for a longer period of time, too much water is absorbed, and the fecal matter becomes dry, making it difficult to discharge in future defecation. (2) Do not squat too often and too long: some patients feel the obvious urge to stool and squat frequently because of anal swelling after surgery. Too much time and too long squatting can easily lead to anal edema or bleeding from the incision. Therefore, post-operative hemorrhoid patients should not squat on the toilet frequently or for a long time to defecate, but should consciously control the suppression of the urge to defecate and control the number of bowel movements and the time of squatting for defecation. Patients should judge whether the stool is cleaned at once based on the amount of stool they normally pass and the total amount of each bowel movement after surgery. If the first stool volume is large and soft, and each subsequent volume is small or no stool is passed, it is possible that inflammation and other irritations are causing the urge to defecate, and the number of bowel movements should be reduced, or the doctor should be informed of his or her condition in time to receive treatment and guidance from him or her.
