Hemorrhoid surgery general anesthesia or local anesthesia

We all know that anesthetics have certain side effects on the human body. The current popular painless delivery is general anesthesia, which can easily cause diseases such as back pain after delivery. Anesthesia is required during surgery. It is best to choose local anesthesia, which can not only relieve pain but also minimize damage to the body. After the operation, change the dressing frequently, take good care of yourself, develop good hygiene habits, and walk less.

Generally, it is local anesthesia. Patients should mainly take anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery. They should maintain cleanliness and hygiene, clean the anus in time after defecation, wipe and disinfect the wound with a disinfectant towel after washing, suspend the wound to ventilate when sitting, and take a sitz bath regularly after diluting 100 times with a 1:50 concentration potassium permanganate solution. It is recommended to prepare an electric anal care bag, which is available in hospitals and online. Pay attention to identification when buying. For example, the anal medicine bath basin used in hospitals is only transparent because the concentration of the medicine needs to be observed. When counterfeit ones are imitated, they are made colorful and opaque due to ignorance.

1. Have regular bowel movements and keep bowel movements smooth: It usually takes 24 hours after hemorrhoid surgery for the first bowel movement. During this period of time when defecation is prohibited, you should drink more water and consume beverages that have a laxative effect. This can promote urination and avoid constipation.

2. Develop the habit of taking a sitz bath after defecation: Sitz bath is a simple and effective way to clean the anus, promote wound healing and reduce inflammation. You must take a sitz bath after each bowel movement. When taking a sitz bath, first use hot steam to fumigate. When the water temperature is appropriate, put the anus and perineum into the basin for washing and sitz bathing. Each time, it takes about 20 minutes.

3. Change the dressing frequently: This is an important point in postoperative care for hemorrhoids. After the operation, you can insert the external suppository into the anus. In addition to using external suppositories for open wounds, attention should also be paid to packing materials such as drainage strips to play their role in protecting the wound and facilitating wound drainage.

4. Postoperative activities: Generally speaking, the surgical wound is large, and while the wound has not yet completely healed, you should try to walk as little as possible. This can avoid edema at the edge of the wound due to friction and prolong the wound healing time. Do not ride a bicycle for a long time about 3 months after the wound has healed to prevent the healing wound from bleeding due to excessive friction.

5. Try to defecate in one go: Some patients are afraid of defecation due to anal pain after surgery, or they stop defecation before emptying the stool due to anal pain, which causes the stool to stay in the rectum for too long, too much water is absorbed, and the feces becomes dry and difficult to excrete.
