Postpartum hemorrhoids should eat like? Is surgery necessary?

Ask
Hello doctor! My condition is that hemorrhoids protrude out, when pressed by hand, it retracts in. I gave birth to my second baby 15 days ago. For the past three days, I have had a hard time going to the toilet, bleeding and burning hemorrhoids when walking, it is very painful to touch even though I drink water and eat vegetable soup a lot. The doctor told me I have hemorrhoids after giving birth, what should I eat? Is surgery necessary? If I have surgery, how long after giving birth can I have surgery?

The doctor asked me: When I was born, I had protruding hemorrhoids that could not be inserted, swollen like a flower. What should I do to treat it? Please help me doctor. Thank you.

Hello, please answer the question: “How should I eat with hemorrhoids after giving birth? Is surgery necessary? Your condition is as follows:
Postpartum hemorrhoids mostly respond well to medical treatment (using anti-inflammatory drugs, hemorrhoid shrinking drugs, anti-bleeding drugs, stool softeners combined with an anti-constipation diet... ). However, there are still some cases where surgery is required if the hemorrhoids have complications (heavy bleeding, superinfection, risk of necrosis...). You need to see a gastroenterologist for specific advice.
You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice and examination by specialist doctors.
