Why does hemorrhoids recur after surgery
Recurrence of hemorrhoids after surgery is not uncommon, and the main reasons are mostly related to the patient's poor living and eating habits or incomplete initial treatment. In response to recurrence, patients should actively seek professional medical help and take appropriate treatment measures according to symptoms.
1. Reasons for recurrence
1. Eating habits: Excessive intake of spicy and greasy food, drinking, and smoking after surgery can easily lead to constipation, which may lead to recurrence of hemorrhoids.
2. Living habits: Bad living habits such as squatting on the toilet for a long time, sitting and standing for a long time, are also important factors leading to the recurrence of hemorrhoids.
3. Incomplete treatment: The hemorrhoids were not completely removed during the operation, and the remaining parts may cause new hemorrhoids.
2. Coping strategies
1. Adjust diet: Patients should reduce the intake of spicy and greasy foods and increase high-fiber foods to maintain smooth stools.
2. Improve living habits: avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time, shorten defecation time, and perform appropriate exercises, such as levator ani exercises, to promote blood circulation around the anus.
3. Drug treatment: Depending on the symptoms, the doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics such as Maizhiling tablets, diosmin tablets, etc., or use Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Ointment and Compound Carrageenate Cream. Topical medications such as ointments can be used to relieve symptoms.
4. Surgical treatment: For recurrent hemorrhoids with severe symptoms, another operation may be required, such as simple ligation of internal hemorrhoids, external hemorrhoidectomy, etc.
5. Regular review: Postoperative patients should undergo regular review to detect and deal with recurrence in a timely manner.
To sum up, the recurrence of hemorrhoids after surgery can be prevented and treated. Patients need to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment recommendations and adjust their living and eating habits to reduce the risk of recurrence.
