Does hemorrhoid surgery affect sexual function?

Patient's question:

Because of work reasons, I need to sit for a long time, so after a long time, I got hemorrhoids. I decided to have surgery a while ago, but recently I feel that my sex life is not as good as before. Will hemorrhoid surgery interfere with sexual function?

Doctor's answer:

Hemorrhoid surgery is a very common minor surgical procedure. After the surgery, it will not interfere with sexual function. A decline in sexual function after hemorrhoid surgery may be caused by other diseases. It is recommended that patients should promptly go to a regular hospital for many relevant and thorough examinations. After the examination results are obtained, treatment should be implemented based on the patient's condition. During the treatment, patients must actively cooperate. It is essential to maintain a positive mindset during the treatment period. A decline in sexual function is also somewhat related to long-term poor hygiene. Patients should eat more nutritious foods when they are well, especially fresh vegetables and water, but try to avoid spicy and irritating foods.
