Diet after surgery
In the first few days, take soft, easily digestible food. Drink plenty of water. High-fiber foods will help soften stools and reduce strain. You can eat fruits in their natural form, not just juices. Fruits like papaya, banana, apple (with peel), pear, orange, watermelon, and guava are very good. Avoid spicy food, deep-fried food, red meat, and alcohol.
Recovery and rest
Usually, strict bed rest is not required. Gentle movement is encouraged from day one to improve healing and prevent constipation. However, avoid long hours of sitting. Take short walks at home.
Return to activities
Most patients can resume light daily activities in about 7–10 days. Riding a bike or anything that puts pressure on the anal region should be avoided for at least 3–4 weeks. Healing takes time, so do not rush.
What to avoid
Avoid constipation, heavy lifting, prolonged sitting on hard surfaces, spicy food, and skipping sitz baths.
With proper care, most people recover well. Always follow up with your surgeon for personalized advice based on your healing.
