Anal surgery
We treat the most common conditions around the anus - anal fissure and haemorrhoids - with both conservative and surgical care.
Anal Surgery and good advice after the operation
Anal surgery, or operations around the rectum, often cause discomfort. Therefore, Kirurgen.dk in Charlottenlund has gathered some good advice on what you can do yourself to reduce discomfort after an operation.
Anal surgery - good advice after the operation
Most wounds after anal surgery are closed with a dissolving suture (after approx. 3 weeks). There may be some oozing of blood and tissue fluids, especially after defecation and most pronounced in the first days after an anal surgical procedure.
- Rinse with a handheld shower.
- A general bath is also excellent.
- Dab the skin dry with, for example, paper towels.
- Warm air (e.g., a hairdryer) can be used, but watch the temperature.
- Do not use creams, ointments, or similar (unless prescribed) as part of the treatment.
If bowel problems occur
Due to the pain often following anal surgery, many believe that eating soft "mild diet" helps. This is a widespread misconception.
On the contrary, a bulky stool will open up the anal opening, which is desirable and immediately relieving. A large soft stool contains many plant fibers. Plant fibers are indigestible. They thus remain in the intestines, where they absorb fluid and thereby produce a voluminous and soft stool.
It is therefore a good idea to eat coarse whole grain bread, fruit, and many vegetables after anal surgery. If you are not good friends with vegetables, fibers can be consumed in other forms:
Fibersund: Available in supermarkets. Eat it on ymer, yogurt, etc.
Visiblin: (Over-the-counter at the pharmacy), Is a cheap plant fiber product consisting of whole grain husks. See instructions on the package. When consuming fiber, it is important to drink plenty - i.e., at least 2 liters of water daily. Also, it is important to emphasize that future intake of plant fibers will in many cases prevent recurrence of the disease.
Which laxatives can be used
If fiber-rich diet and bran do not help, laxatives must be used. Lactulose is a mild laxative. If this does not help, you can try a slightly stronger agent such as Magnesium Sulfate (Magnesia tablets). Both agents are available over-the-counter.
