Can you have a bowel movement immediately after hemorrhoid surgery?

Patients should not defecate for 24 hours after hemorrhoid surgery to avoid pain, bleeding and other symptoms from irritation of the wounds by defecation. For those who need to control bowel movements, they should defecate 5-6 days after surgery. To control bowel movements, you can take drugs such as compound diphenoxylate orally 2-3 times/day. To prevent dry stool and avoid irritation of the incision by dry stool during defecation. Patients who do not have a bowel movement before the 1st postoperative bowel movement or 48 hours after surgery can take oral laxative medications such as fosone, lactulose, and jaggery pills for laxative treatment. Those who come to defecate several days after surgery can use warm saline 1000ml enema, and postoperative patients should eat more vegetables, fruits, cereals and other coarse fiber foods.
