What should I do if there is water leakage after cervical polyp surgery?

Patient's question:

On May 15th, I had a cervical polyp surgery. For nine days before the surgery, I had some discharge, and on the tenth day, I started bleeding, which was a bit less than my menstrual period. The pain in my abdomen was similar to menstrual cramps. I had my period on the 5th of last month. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, this is mainly caused by the lack of complete recovery after surgery. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, maintain good personal hygiene, and take precautions to prevent infection. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and be mindful of avoiding overexertion. First, carefully observe and wait. If there is still bleeding after a month, go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the recovery of the uterus. For patients with cervical polyps, daily treatment is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Also, pay attention to diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods. We hope that patients with cervical polyps can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
