Patient's question:
Hello, I recently had a cervical polyp removal surgery. I would like to know what I should pay attention to and what I should be careful about in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after cervical polyp surgery, you should pay attention to the following matters:1. After treatment, pay attention to hygiene. Avoid sexual activity for one month. After one month, go to the hospital for a follow-up to check the recovery condition.
2. Rest and avoid overexertion. Although cervical polyp surgery is very simple, short in duration, and minimally invasive, patients should still take care to allow their bodies to recover as much as possible to prevent pathogens from invading and spreading when their immunity is low.???????

3. Take medication on time and have regular follow-ups. Patients should take anti-infection medication as prescribed by the doctor and should not stop taking it or change the dosage arbitrarily. Since the recurrence rate of this condition is relatively high, it is best for patients to have a follow-up every two months to minimize subsequent effects.
4. Eat a light and nutritious diet. After surgery, patients can choose easily digestible, vitamin-rich foods, such as tomatoes and apples. Spicy, irritating, greasy, and high-sugar foods should be avoided as they are not conducive to wound healing. It is recommended to eat them sparingly or not at all.
5. Maintain hygiene and refrain from sexual activity. After the polyp is removed, the cervical wound will gradually be covered by new cells and tissues, eventually returning to normal. During this period, patients must completely avoid sexual activity to prevent semen and sexual movement from irritating the wound and hindering healing. To prevent infection, patients should rinse the external genital area with clean water daily, change underwear frequently, and avoid bacteria entering the vagina.
After cervical polyp surgery, the following dietary precautions should be noted:
After surgery, the diet should be light. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, as well as frozen drinks. Eat more protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, softshell turtle, and fruits. Avoid foods and drinks that are hot, coagulative, or contain hormones, such as longan, jujubes, collagen, and royal jelly. Do not eat mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, or black fish, which are considered "pathogenic" foods.
