How long it takes to recover from hemorrhoid surgery depends on the severity of the patient’s condition, the surgical method, and the patient’s physical condition. In terms of the surgical method alone, the traditional external and internal ligation of hemorrhoids will occur in about 7 days, the nucleus will fall off, the wound will be further repaired, and in general, it will heal in about 2 weeks; while in the case of minimally invasive hemorrhoid surgery, you can be discharged in about 3-5 days after surgery, and you can resume normal work and life in about 7-10 days. In terms of patient condition, patients with milder symptoms can recover in about 2 weeks after surgery, while patients with more hemorrhoids, more severe symptoms or those with mixed hemorrhoids will recover in about 3-4 weeks after surgery. For patients who are older, weaker or have other underlying diseases, especially combined with diabetes, the recovery time after surgery will be relatively longer. Patients should keep their bowel movements smooth and their perianal area clean and dry after surgery to avoid wound infection; eat a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods to prevent diarrhea and constipation, which can slow down the healing of hemorrhoids; and follow the doctor’s instructions to change medication at the hospital on time and observe the wound healing in a timely manner.
