Patient's question:
On the 15th, I had surgery for a gastric polyp. The polyp that was removed was quite large, but thankfully the test results showed it was benign.Doctor's answer:
Are you undergoing endoscopic removal or an open surgery? It needs to be determined based on the situation! Generally, if you have an endoscopic removal, you can have intravenous fluids for about three days post-surgery. Maintain a light diet, and it's best to drink porridge for the first half month. Avoid hard foods. If you have an open abdominal surgery, at least 10 days of intravenous fluids are required, and you need to fast every day. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with gastric polyps should pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
