planning to have a hemorrhoid surgery soon…?
I have two external hems. a possible anal fissure, and possible internal hems. I’m scheduled to have the surgery the Tuesday during thanksgiving week. I was wondering from everything I looked into about the procedure and the pain, if I do a lemonade cleanse so my body has no toxins to remove if it would be more beneficial on my recovery time. The cleanse is for 10 days, but i expect to have a flush from the doctor the day before the surgery. The thing I’m not sure about is this, I read about someone saying that your anal whole can shrink if it isn’t being worked. I have no idea whatsoever if this is true or not. can anyone tell me if this cleanse will mess me up or if it actually is smart for this kind of surgery recovery time? I’ve done cleanses before but they weren’t this demanding of not eating. PLEASE GUIDE ME THROUGH THIS.
Would it be best to do an all liquid cleanse? thats my main concern. If i don’t have a reason to use the bathroom for about 10 days or so would it help my healing process?

I had a hemorrhoidectomy about a year ago. You will get golyltely or halflytly a day before the surg to clean you out so that you don’t defecate for a day or so after the surg to allow you to heal. No, you will not "shrink" if you don’t go for a few days, plus the narcotics tend to constipate. Risk of infection is small with that surgery even if you start to deficate that same day. The pain is not too bad,but if you wait to long to finally have a bowel movement-like I did (5 days) it will be excrutiating!So, use colace or some stool softener right after,also use the sitz bath they give you…..your butt will thank you.
wow surgery. that is no fun before you go for surgery please try an herbal solution that worked for me and my wife when she had hemroids after our 2nd child was born
