Patient's question:
A 51-year-old woman recently felt some discomfort and underwent a check-up. However, the diagnosis revealed this condition. She is asking: Is it related to the fact that she had an uterine polyp surgery on Monday?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps (very small) surgery requires bed rest. Of course, if the bleeding is not significant, you can engage in appropriate outdoor activities, as long as heavy physical labor is avoided to prevent increased intra-abdominal pressure, which could lead to a recurrence of severe bleeding. Cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. The base of the polyp adheres to the cervix or within the cervical canal, formed by local fibrosis of the cervical mucosa under inflammatory stimulation, which then protrudes outside the cervical opening. Since polyp removal is relatively simple and causes minimal physical damage, postoperative rest for 1-2 days is recommended.
