What is the treatment for post-hemorrhoid surgery infections?

It is noteworthy that hemorrhoid surgery using a high-power laser causes no infection at the surgical site. By contrast, the surgical site may get infected after hemorrhoid surgery with blades and cauters. In such cases, the wound may burst and cause infectious and foul-smelling discharges. As soon as you notice these complications, you should contact your physician and start taking the medications prescribed by the physician. It is also recommended to visit your physician or a nearby clinic for changing the wound dressing.

How long does it take for hemorrhoids to heal after surgery?

Patients who undergo hemorrhoid laser surgery need to rest at home only one night and they can start walking the next. Depending on the physiological conditions and the surgery extent, it takes about 3-6 days for patients to return to their workplaces. The recovery period after conventional hemorrhoid surgery may last for more than 2 months. In addition, patients cannot return to their workplace until one month. It is quite normal that patients see a few drops of blood during the recovery period. The surgical wound will heal about one week after laser surgery and about 2 months after conventional surgery.

What is the treatment for post-hemorrhoid surgery pain?

Patients undergoing hemorrhoid surgery are recommended to take painkillers prescribed by their physician to relieve pain. Sitting in a basin o warm water, especially after defecation, helps reduce pain and inflammation. Since taking painkillers and antibiotics leads to constipation and aggravates pain after hemorrhoid surgery, patients are recommended to take a laxative and follow a high-fiber diet to experience easy and painless defecation. Note that diarrhea and constipation both equally cause pain and increase the risk of recurrence after hemorrhoid surgery. The severity of pain in patients undergoing hemorrhoid laser surgery is 70% less than that of patients undergoing conventional hemorrhoid surgery.

How are wounds sutured in hemorrhoid surgery?

Hemorrhoid surgery wounds are sutured depending on the surgery type and tools. When patients undergo conventional surgery using surgical blades and knives, absorbable sutures are used to close the wound; there is no need to remove these sutures later. In hemorrhoid laser surgery, the operation causes no wound to be sutured. In fact, the laser repairs the vessels and nerves after making incisions for treating hemorrhoids. That is why hemorrhoid laser surgery requires a very short recovery period.

Is it normal to have bleeding after hemorrhoid surgery?

It is quite normal that you see a few drops of blood up to 2 months after hemorrhoids or piles surgery. You need to contact your physician if you have constipation or severe bleeding after defecation. Take a laxative to control constipation. Be careful not to get diarrhea or constipation because both can cause abnormal bleeding and increase the risk of hemorrhoid recurrence.

Is yellow discharge or blood after hemorrhoid surgery normal or not?

After laser surgery, patients will not have yellow discharges, and it is quite normal to see a drop of blood until two months if they do not have constipation. If patients have foul-smelling and infected discharges and severe bleeding, they should visit their surgeon or a surgery clinic.

How is stool after hemorrhoid surgery?

General surgeons usually prescribe a laxative for patients because most patients suffer from constipation after hemorrhoid surgery. In addition, general surgeons prescribe patients use a Bisacodyl suppository the night before surgery to completely empty their intestines. Patients are also recommended to have a light meal or soup the night after surgery so that they do not need to defecate for one to two days. Then patients can take a laxative to have easy and painless defecation. Constipation control is one of the most important factors in preventing hemorrhoid recurrence.
