Patient's question:
My father had a rectal polypectomy surgery at the hospital last month. The surgery was successful, and after being discharged, he has been resting at home. However, in the past two days, sometimes his stool has been mixed with blood when he goes to the bathroom. So, I would like to ask the doctor what to do if there is blood in the stool after a rectal polypectomy?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, it takes some time to fully and gradually recover. Therefore, it is important to strictly control your diet, avoid spicy foods, and maintain regular bowel movements. Pay close attention and observe for a period of time without putting too much pressure on yourself. If there are frequent occurrences of rupture, it is advisable to promptly go to the hospital for a follow-up examination. It is recommended to practice local cleaning and sterilization after bowel movements.
