How many times a day to wash after hemorrhoid surgery

The number of cleaning and sitz baths for the incision in the anal part is 2 times/day for patients after hemorrhoid surgery. It is best for post-operative patients to get into the habit of having a bowel movement every day, so 1 of the 2 times is after the bowel movement to clean and sit in the bath, and during the hospitalization period, you also need to clean and sit in the bath before changing the medication treatment. The other time is better before going to bed. Washing and sitting in the bath before going to bed can wash away the day’s secretions, reduce local stimulation, and avoid excessive local stimulation affecting the healing of the incision. In addition, too many times of cleaning is not very beneficial to the recovery of the wound, because the stimulation of external drugs can also lead to delayed healing of the incision, so it is recommended to clean 2 times/day.
