Edema is a common complication after hemorrhoid surgery. On the one hand, we should actively cooperate with doctors and treat them according to the doctor's advice, and don't believe in folk remedies. On the other hand, patients themselves should also pay attention to anal care and actively reduce some factors that lead to edema aggravation. Because the muscle tissue in the anus is delicate, it will slowly recover after the operation. In addition, frequent contact with feces with a large number of bacteria often leads to postoperative complications such as edema, ulceration and pus discharge. The nerves in the anus are very sensitive, which brings great pain to the recovery of patients. The methods of anus care are as follows:

1. Wash the anus with water after each defecation to ensure that the anus is clean and avoid bacterial infection. Wiping with paper will only wipe the stool into the folds and wounds of the anus The harder you try to clean, the deeper the stool will be embedded, which will lead to bacterial reproduction and aggravate inflammation and edema. At the same time, water can avoid pain, some hemorrhoids, let alone wipe with paper, even dare not touch. You can install a smart toilet lid at home or take a shower after defecation. A more convenient way is to prepare a hand-held towel, which can be filled with clean water to wash the anus after defecation, and can also be carried with you when you go out to work.

2. It may be the best "prescription" to treat hemorrhoids with warm water of about 37℃ or medicine prescribed by the hospital for at least ten minutes every night. Sitting bath can accelerate venous blood circulation, eliminate edema and promote healing. But be careful not to put the ordinary basin on the ground and squat in it, because it will cause the wound to tear, so you need to use the anal hydrotherapy device and put it on the toilet to finish the sitz bath comfortably in a sitting position.

3. Keep the anus suspended while sitting, keep breathing and relieve edema. You can prepare an anal pad with a special shape, which can make the anus hang and breathe, promote venous blood return, accelerate edema elimination and wound healing, and avoid tenderness. Many patients with severe hemorrhoids can't even travel by car. With the anal protection pad, they can sit down normally, work or eat comfortably, and maintain a good mental state.

In addition, we must prevent constipation. If constipation occurs, it will aggravate the pain of the wound. For example, some patients say that defecation is like pulling a glass. Very stool stays in the intestine, and bacteria and harmful substances in the stool will infect the wound and aggravate the pain. Therefore, in the diet, we should eat more foods rich in dietary fiber such as wheat bran, oats and celery in advance.

Anal care products, you can go to the hospital to open an anorectal rehabilitation package, but hospitals are generally more expensive, and you can also buy them outside. If you don't take good care of the anus and let the disease develop, you will inevitably get a knife in the future.
