🏥 Immediate Post-Surgery Care

• 1. Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions :
  After piles surgery, strictly adhere to your surgeon’s recommendations regarding medication, wound care, and activity levels.
• 2. Pain Management :
  Mild pain or discomfort is common after surgery. Use prescribed painkillers or sitz baths (warm water baths) to relieve pain and swelling.
• 3. Rest Well :
  Adequate rest helps your body recover quickly. Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting during the initial days after surgery.

🍎 Diet After Piles Surgery

A proper diet is crucial to prevent constipation and straining:

• Include fiber-rich foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains).
• Drink plenty of water (8–10 glasses daily).
• Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods.
• Include probiotics like yogurt to improve digestion.

🚶‍♂️ Lifestyle Precautions

• 1. Avoid Sitting for Long Periods :
  Prolonged sitting can increase pressure on the surgical site. Take short walks to improve blood circulation.
• 2. Maintain Proper Hygiene :
  Clean the anal area gently with warm water after every bowel movement. Avoid using harsh soaps or wipes.
• 3. Take Sitz Baths :
  Warm sitz baths for 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times a day, help reduce pain, swelling, and promote healing.
• 4. Avoid Straining During Bowel Movements :
  Use stool softeners if prescribed and never delay going to the toilet.
