It is normal to have painful stools after hemorrhoid surgery, especially in the short term after surgery, as there are tiny wounds in the local mucosa after surgery, and when defecating the tiny wounds will stimulate the pain of the nerve endings, resulting in painful defecation. After hemorrhoid surgery, you should keep your bowels open and avoid constipation to stimulate the rectal area. You can eat more soft, easily digestible coarse fiber foods, including leeks, celery, and thin soft noodles, which help to reduce the burden in the intestines and reduce the number of bowel movements, which helps to reduce pain and recover as soon as possible after hemorrhoid surgery. If you still experience pain long after hemorrhoid surgery, it is best to go to a regular anorectal hospital for a detailed examination to find the exact cause.
