As a rule, the operation with hemorrhoids is carried out at 3-4 degrees of the disease, after which treatment in order to avoid complications and relapses should not stop. Rehabilitation after such a surgical intervention requires scrupulous compliance with the recommendations of a doctor. If the operation was performed by an open method, then the recovery period takes about 5 weeks, if closed, about 3 weeks. With minimally invasive interventions, this time is reduced to 3-7 days.
Recommendations after surgery to remove hemorrhoids
1. For immediate healing of postoperative wounds, local anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents are prescribed in the form of ointments and rectal suppositories, for example:
- Relief;
- Proctosan ;

- Levomekol;
- Aurobin;
- Alginatol and the like
Useful procedures are warm sessile baths with broths of herbs - chamomile, calendula, sage, eucalyptus, yarrow, etc. In case of severe pain, the use of analgesics is indicated.
