How many days does hemorrhoid surgery hurt?
After hemorrhoid surgery, the local wound can be quite painful, especially in the early postoperative period. As the local anesthesia wears off, patients may experience varying degrees of pain, which usually lasts about a week. For those with less severe conditions, the pain may only last for three days. However, for severe hemorrhoids, especially after circular mixed hemorrhoid surgery, there are more ligations and deeper wounds at the site, thus the pain may extend to 10 days. Additionally, when the ligation thread falls off, there may also be varying degrees of bloating, sagging, pain, and bleeding in the anal area.
To avoid intensifying postoperative pain, it is recommended that patients use stool softeners to ease bowel movements after the surgery. For severe pain, patients can also take painkillers when the pain becomes unbearable.
