Patient's question:
I have been undergoing hysteroscopic surgery for five days now, and the endometrial polyps have been successfully removed. This condition is very prone to recurrence, and this is the third time I have had them removed within three years. I would like to ask:1. How many days of rest are typically required after surgery? What dietary precautions should be taken?
2. Is it necessary to undergo traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy after surgery?
3. How can I prevent recurrence from happening again?
Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, it is generally recommended to rest for one week after the removal of endometrial polyps, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, and avoid sexual activity for one month. In terms of diet, it is important to focus on a nutritious and balanced diet, avoiding cold and spicy foods. After the surgery, the main focus is on preventing infection. If there are no discomfort symptoms, there is no need for traditional Chinese medicine regulation. Avoiding recurrence is relatively difficult and varies from person to person. The occurrence of polyps is mainly related to inflammation and estrogen stimulation.
