I had my surgery (Longo or PPH procedure done 7 days ago) . I had grade 2 and 3 hemorrhoids. Before the operation had 3 enemas and tranquilizer and start IV fluids. The operation took 1 and an half hour. Stayed 3 nights at the hospital. Excrucianting pain, even with pain killers.
I still have a huge pain when i have BM.
What I found important:
Drink a lot of mineral water (2 L per day)
Use a laxative (Lactulose) every day
Take the pain killers regularly ( I take 2 different kinds)
Use Xilocaine around the anus after BM
Use anti hemorrhoid cream around the anus to protect it from irritation and inflamation (I had to use adults diapers to avoid unexpected incidents)
Use a ring shaped pillow to sit
have walks everyday day, as soon as you can, as far as you can
keep mind busy with other subjects (pain is a very subjective feeling)
keep a strict diet based more in fibers, vegetables, fruits and juices
Have Vitamins and other dietary supplements to help a faster healing
have several meals per day (not only 3)
Hygiene is very important to avoid infection
