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. I want to prepare accordingly. Are there any 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 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 bacterial infection occurs again, oral antibiotics should be taken promptly for treatment. After the surgery, it is recommended to eat light foods and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent postoperative inflammation. When facing the problem of cervical polyps, we should adhere to the principle of timely symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention.
