Patients can usually drink milk normally after hemorrhoid surgery.
Hemorrhoid surgery is only a partial removal of hemorrhoids and usually does not involve conditions such as bowel resection and anastomosis, so drinking milk after surgery will not cause discomfort.
Milk contains a large amount of high-quality protein and a variety of nutrients, and proper consumption can provide patients with a variety of nutrients, which is conducive to wound healing. Therefore, you can drink milk after hemorrhoid surgery. However, some patients who are sensitive to drinking milk and prone to diarrhea and abdominal pain are advised not to drink milk for the time being and can consume it according to their own situation after healing from the surgery.
Within 24 hours after hemorrhoid surgery, patients should rest in bed and reduce activities, which can reduce the pain and bleeding. If there are any abnormal symptoms, patients are advised to seek medical checkup in time. Bowel movement should be controlled for 1~2 days after the operation. In general, there is no need to absolutely prohibit eating and drinking, but a liquid diet is preferred.
Patients after hemorrhoid surgery are advised to consult the doctor in charge if they have any questions, post-operative care and precautions, and follow the doctor’s instructions. In later life, do not work continuously standing or sitting for a long period of time, it is advisable to change different postures intermittently.
