Q The surgery went well, but does recovery herbal medicine actually help with swelling and pain? Isn't time the only real cure?
A Herbal medicine does not replace the surgery. It is a supportive treatment that replenishes depleted qi and blood and helps soften bowel movements, supporting wound recovery and easing swelling and pain. Alongside natural healing over time, it helps build a stronger foundation for recovery.
Detailed Answer
Recovery after hemorrhoid surgery is fundamentally a wound-healing process that takes time. Keeping stool soft and caring for the wound well on top of that speeds recovery and reduces pain. Korean medicine treatment plays a supportive role in this process by replenishing depleted energy and helping bowel movements flow smoothly, supporting wound recovery and easing swelling and pain. It does not replace surgery or the hospital's wound care.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we check through pulse diagnosis and consultation how much has been depleted by the surgery and the state of bowel movements and digestion. Based on this, we replenish qi and blood and help ease bowel movements, so the wound heals well and the pain experienced with each bowel movement decreases, making recovery considerably smoother.
