Patient's question:
A few weeks 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'd like to ask how long I need to rest after the cervical polyp surgery so I can prepare accordingly. Are there any precautions I should 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 take 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 a bacterial infection reoccurs, it is necessary to take oral antibiotics promptly. After the surgery, it is recommended to eat light foods and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent postoperative inflammation. When facing the issue of cervical polyps, we should adhere to the principle of timely symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention.
