Patient's question:
I had surgery for cervical polyp removal two days ago, and the surgery was very successful. The doctor told me to rest more, but I am in a hurry to resolve things at work. I really cannot rest any longer. How many days of rest is recommended after cervical polyp removal?Doctor's answer:
Cervical polyps are minor surgeries. If the surgery goes smoothly, a rest period of 3-7 days is usually sufficient. After the surgery, avoid strenuous exercise and maintain local cleanliness. Wash the external genitalia twice a day, but do not take baths, insert medication into the vagina, or perform vaginal irrigation. Avoid spicy foods and opt for easily digestible, vitamin-rich foods. For one month, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. In addition to timely treatment, cervical polyp patients should pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude greatly helps in the complete recovery from the disease.
