This study aims to investigate whether frequent follow-ups can enhance the quality of life of patients after hemorrhoid surgery and reduce the incidence of complications. A total of 116 eligible patients were randomly and evenly divided into two groups (58 patients in each group): A. The control group: Patients received routine health education services upon discharge and were then followed up by phone at the regular frequency. B. The high-frequency group: Patients received routine health education services upon discharge and were then followed up by phone at a higher frequency. The quality of life of the patients and the incidence of complications were compared to evaluate the clinical effects of different intervention measures. The main hypothesis is that compared to conventional care, frequent follow-ups can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, promote wound healing, and reduce the incidence of complications and disease recurrence.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional group | No Intervention | Patients received routine health education services at discharge and were enrolled in the sample data collection cluster. Patients were followed up by telephone by trained medical and nursing teams at 1 week and 1 month after discharge, and then every 3 months until the end of the one-year follow-up period | |
| High frequency group | Experimental | Patients received routine health education services at discharge and were enrolled in the sample data collection cluster. Patients were followed up by telephone by a trained medical team at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after discharge, and then every month until the end of the one-year follow-up period. |

| Quality-of-life SCORES | By evaluating the quality of life of patients, we proved the effectiveness of different frequency of follow-up methods in improving the quality of life of patients after hemorrhoids surgery. | Baseline, weeks 2, 4, 12, 24, 48 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| pain score | The assessment is conducted using the Numerical Rating Scale for Pain (NRS), which requires patients to select an integer (whole number) from 0 to 10 that best describes their pain. 0 typically indicates "no pain", while 10 represents "the most severe pain imaginable". | Baseline, Day 7, 14, 21, 28 |
