How long do you need to rest after cervical polyp surgery?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, the doctor performed a thorough examination and found polyps in my cervix. The doctor scheduled me for surgery. It's almost time for the surgery now. I would like to ask how long I need to rest after the cervical polyp surgery so I can prepare. Are there any specific precautions I need to take after this surgery?

Doctor's answer:

For severe cervical polyps, surgery is generally performed to remove them. After the surgery, it is advisable to have about a week of rest to prevent the polyps from recurring or to avoid bacterial infections. It is important to maintain vaginal cleanliness and hygiene after the surgery. If bacterial infections reoccur, timely oral antibiotic treatment should be administered. After the surgery, it is recommended to eat light and easily digestible foods, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent postoperative inflammation.
When dealing with cervical polyp issues, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention. If cervical polyps do not heal after treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
