When is the scar softening period after anal surgery

The scar softening period after anal surgery is generally about 3~6 months.

1. In the process of wound healing after anal surgery, there will be hypertrophic scars at the wound site, and then the scars will slowly soften, generally taking 3~6 months. The biggest impact of scars on patients is that they may lead to anal stenosis, resulting in difficulty in defecation, anal pain, etc.

2. With the extension of time, wound tissue continues to repair, and local hypertrophic scars will slowly soften. Due to the long scar softening time, and the scar has a relatively obvious impact on patients. Therefore, patients should be treated as soon as possible after surgery. It can reduce the hypertrophic scar condition and improve the patient's clinical symptoms.
