Pristyn Care Sheetla Hospital, Sector 8, GurgaonSurgery is one of the most effective ways to treat piles when symptoms are severe or conservative treatments fail to provide adequate relief. Although piles surgery has a high success rate, recovery takes time and needs changes in diet and lifestyle to help you heal properly. Pain medications and stool softeners may also be required to recover after piles surgery. Preparing for piles surgery can lead to stress, but knowing what to expect during recovery can help reduce anxiety.

Recovery from piles surgery can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. The timeline of recovery changes based on the size and severity of the medical condition, the type of surgery, and the general health and mobility level.
For the first 2 weeks after your surgery, you must relax, stay home, and avoid strenuous activities, including heavy lifting. After 2 weeks, you should be able to return to everyday activities. However, you still need to avoid activities requiring much effort.
You can expect pain and discomfort for 2 to 4 weeks following your surgery, though it will gradually decline. You can reduce pain by avoiding constipation, practicing proper wound care, and using pain medications as prescribed by your doctor. Full recovery is usually achieved within one to two months.
A small amount of bleeding is common following piles surgery. A gauze should be worn over the anal opening to keep the underclothing clean. If there is prolonged bleeding, call your healthcare provider at once.
Difficulty in urination after piles surgery is usually due to spasms of the urinary sphincter resulting from pain due to the surgery. Getting the pain under control and relaxing the sphincter allows the urine to pass easily. To achieve this, take the pain medication as your doctor prescribes and do warm sitz baths – either in a bathtub or sitz basin.
A sitz bath is a warm water bath you sit in to ease discomfort in the perineal region. Soaking this area in warm water relaxes the anal sphincter, which helps enhance blood flow through the anal tissues. While soaking your perineal region, try to relax the bladder.
To avoid an upset stomach, take your pain medication as prescribed by your doctor. Take these medications as directed and never take more than the recommended dose. Some people experience sleepiness, lightheadedness, or a false sense of well-being after taking these medications. In addition, anyone who takes these medications should not use machines, heavy equipment, or do anything else that might be unsafe until they know how the medications affect them.
Nausea and vomiting are common side effects, specifically when you begin taking the medications. If these symptoms do not go away after the first few doses, check with your doctor who prescribed the medicine. Some other post-operative care tips to follow after piles surgery include the following:
The primary dietary goal following a piles surgery is the avoidance of constipation. Hardened stools put extreme pressure on the surgical site during bowel movements. In addition, most are caused due to insufficient fiber intake and dehydration. During the first few days of recovery, you should consume a low-residue diet.
Low-residue foods include:
As you begin to heal after your surgery, you can consider a low-fat, high-fiber diet. This diet includes foods rich in soluble fiber, which draws water out of the intestines and helps soften stools.
Sources of soluble fiber include the following:

Here are certain things to avoid to ensure a worry-free recovery after your pile’s surgery:
Two types of medications are generally prescribed to people who have undergone piles surgery: stool softeners and analgesics (painkillers).
It works naturally with the body to ease bowel movements and has fewer side effects than more potent stimulant laxatives. Stool softeners are also less likely to cause diarrhea, which also puts unnecessary stress on surgical wounds.
Recommended stool softeners by medical experts include:
These drugs are used to treat postoperative pain after the surgery. Analgesic drugs include:
Making certain lifestyle changes can help minimize the symptoms of piles. Some lifestyle changes to follow after your pile’s surgery include:
It is rare to observe a loss of bowel control post piles surgery. Loss of bowel control happens only when there is sphincter damage. Sphincter fibers are muscles that regulate the opening of anal movements. If these muscles get damaged, patients may need to replace them with artificial sphincters. In such possibilities, the patient can lose bowel control.
Bowel movements may hurt for 2-4 weeks after piles surgery. But this can differ depending on how the surgery went, how closely you obeyed the doctor’s instructions, and whether there were any complications during recovery.
Yes, you can drink coffee after piles surgery. However, don’t drink too much coffee because excess caffeine can result in constipation, which can extend the pile’s surgery recovery process.
Following your doctor’s advice and rest is the quickest way to recover from piles surgery. The body has a natural healing mechanism, and you can do nothing to speed it up. But by obeying your doctor’s instructions, you can make sure that the healing process remains optimized.
Bending, squatting, or sitting down may cause pain after the surgery. Therefore, for the first few days into the recovery, you should restrict strenuous activities as much as possible.
Most stitches will dissolve or fall out within a few days of the surgery. Also, it is normal to see them in the toilet bowl.
You might feel sharp, shooting pains in the wound area. However, the feeling should become less intense over time, but check with your doctor if you’re concerned.
