After hemorrhoid surgery, it is normal to have one to two bowel movements per day. Regular daily bowel movements are good for the early recovery of anal sensory and contractile functions, but if you try to control bowel movements by limiting the amount of diet, it is not only detrimental to the early recovery of anal functions, but will also result in slow wound healing due to malnutrition and a decrease in general fitness. On the day after surgery, you can eat some easy-to-digest and soft food in moderation, which can not only fill your hunger, but also replenish vitamins and water to minimize the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and facilitate physical recovery. For example, drink fresh fruit juice, take cereal, and eat thin white rice porridge. On the first day after surgery, a light diet, such as noodles, fresh fish soup, rib soup, rice noodles, etc., is still the mainstay. From the second day onwards, normal bowel movement can be performed. Only by ensuring sufficient diet can a certain amount of stool be formed in the intestinal cavity; if the amount of stool in the intestinal cavity is insufficient, and it is impossible to hope to ensure smooth bowel movement. 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 need a lot of nutritional supplements, the normal diet can be resumed from this time onwards to supplement sufficient nutrition, improve the body’s resistance to disease, ensure the healing of the trauma and prevent the occurrence of complications. After surgery, you should keep your stool open every day and drink more water to keep enough water in the intestine to soften the stool and make the excretion smooth, so as to reduce the stimulation of the trauma and relieve the pain. In addition, make sure to eat three meals a day with more soft foods, dairy products and fresh soups to increase the moisture in the intestines. Eat more coarse fiber foods to help further soften the stool. You can eat more vegetables, fruits and mainly coarse grains to enhance the laxative effect. Such as bok choy, cabbage, leek, celery, radish, potatoes, etc.; corn porridge, rice, sweet potatoes and other coarse grains. Eating 2 to 3 small spoons of honey daily, or eating some fat-rich walnuts, peanut kernels, sesame seeds, soybeans, etc., can assist in bowel movements. It must be emphasized that hemorrhoid patients should eat less or even no spicy, fried foods after surgery, because most of these foods cause intestinal dryness and heat, which affects the smooth flow of stool and increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to the patient’s post-operative recovery.
