How long does it take to change the dressing after anal fistula surgery?

Anal fistula surgery accounted for 50%, dressing change accounted for 50%. If you don't change the dressing every day after surgery, it will become a fake good, and it will be very painful three days before the dressing change after surgery, and then it will be fine. Change the dressing for about 2 minutes each time, and tighten it once on 10 day after operation, and the rubber skin will basically heal when it falls off automatically. There will be bacteria after defecation, so you must smoke and wash with drugs. Salt water and permanganate are also acceptable, but it must be warm water. Put gauze in the anus because there are germs after defecation. After dressing change, seal the wound to prevent infection.

2. Although it is a minor operation, the muscles and tissues in the anus grow very slowly. It takes at least one month from the completion of the operation to full recovery. In addition to drug treatment, we should also strengthen the nursing of anus, ensure that the anus is clean after defecation, and clean the anus with running water. Because the anal wound hurts when touched, it can't be wiped with paper at all. Moreover, wiping with paper will only wipe the stool into the folds and wounds of the anus, leading to bacterial reproduction and aggravating inflammation and edema. So wash the anus with running water after defecation every time. Some hospitals will give patients after operation an anorectal rehabilitation suit, which contains a hand-held washing clothes, and the anus can be washed with clear water after defecation. If you don't want to return to the palace after discharge, you should take it with you when you go out to work and rinse it after each defecation.

3. The traditional Chinese medicine commonly prescribed by the hospital allows patients to sit in the bath for at least one month after operation, and they must sit in the sitting position. Never put an ordinary basin on the ground and sit in the bathtub, otherwise the wound may tear. When sitting down after surgery, be sure to raise the anus overhead to avoid the pain and edema caused by oppression. The anorectal rehabilitation bag contains an anal hydrotherapy device that can be placed on the toilet for sitting and bathing, and a painless breathable pad that can overhead the anus. But the hospital is generally more expensive, so you can prepare it yourself in advance.

In short, don't be afraid of doctors, and you must strictly follow the doctor's advice.
