Patient's question:
How long after a uterine polyp surgery can I go back to work?Doctor's answer:
Polyps in the female uterus can be divided into uterine cavity polyps and cervical polyps. If it is a cervical polyp, it is necessary to undergo a diagnostic or hysteroscopic electroresection, which requires hospitalization. At least two weeks of rest is needed after the surgery before returning to work. If it is a cervical polyp, only the polyp needs to be removed, which can be done in an outpatient setting. Rest for 2-3 days after the surgery is sufficient to return to work.
