What should I pay attention to in my diet after hemorrhoid surgery?

Hemorrhoids are a physical and mental torture for many patients, so the most effective and thorough method is surgical treatment. After this operation, you should also pay attention to scientific diet. You can eat more black fungus, tomatoes or lotus roots to help speed up wound healing.

1. Persimmon

Persimmon has the effect of preventing hemorrhoids. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that persimmons taste astringent (but the astringency will be removed after simple processing), are cold in nature, and have the effects of softening and dispersing lumps, clearing away heat and dryness, and strengthening the spleen and producing body fluids. Therefore, it is very effective in preventing constipation, relieving dry stools or bleeding, etc. In addition, persimmons can relieve high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis.

2. Black Fungus

If you have blood in your stool after hemorrhoid surgery, you can eat black fungus to nourish blood and stop bleeding. Black fungus is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, gelatin, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene and vitamin B1. It can promote blood circulation and stop bleeding, moisten the lungs and produce fluid, and treat hemorrhoidal bleeding.

3. Tomatoes

Tomato, also known as tomato, tastes sweet, sour and slightly cold in nature. It has the effects of promoting fluid and quenching thirst, cooling blood and calming the liver, strengthening the stomach and digesting food, moistening the intestines and relieving constipation, clearing away heat and detoxifying, and nourishing the kidneys and promoting urination. Tomato is a vegetable that is often eaten in daily life. It is especially suitable for people with fever, thirst, lack of appetite, internal heat, gastrointestinal heat, and excessive heat in the liver and gallbladder. Patients with constipation, hemorrhoids and anal fissures should eat it regularly.

4. Lotus root

If there is occasional bleeding during bowel movements after hemorrhoid surgery, no treatment is required. However, about one week after the operation, secondary bleeding may occur due to local tissue shrinkage and necrosis or slippage of the ligature thread caused by friction from stool. At this time, lotus root slices can be given appropriately to play a role in hemostasis and astringency.
