مريض بعد استئصال البواسير. أي إجراء يقلل الألم بعد العملية؟

A client has had a haemorrhoidectomy. Which measure reduces post-operative pain?

1. Sitting on a rubber ring cushion for hours
2. Warm sitz baths, a stool softener and analgesia before defecation
3. Straining hard to pass stool on the first day
4. Less water and fibre to delay the first bowel movement

Answer: B) Warm sitz baths, a stool softener and analgesia before defecation. Sitz baths, softeners and analgesia before defecation reduce pain and straining. Delaying defecation makes stools harder and more painful.
