Q I live in Dong-gu, Incheon, and I would like recovery care after hemorrhoid surgery. How long after surgery should I come in?
A It is generally started once the pain and swelling of the acute phase have settled somewhat, usually managed with follow-ups every 2-4 weeks. In the acute phase right after surgery, hospital wound care takes priority, so it is best to decide the starting point through consultation at a visit.
Detailed Answer
Korean medicine recovery treatment after hemorrhoid surgery generally begins once the severe pain and swelling of the acute phase have settled somewhat, and regular visits that adjust the prescription based on recovery progress and bowel condition are effective. Typically, condition is checked every 2-4 weeks, and the intensity and timing of herbal medicine are decided together based on bowel condition.
