How to care for cervical polyps after surgery?

Cervical polyps are one of the most common diseases among women in life. They form a very thick wall inside the female cervix, which has a certain impact on women's normal fertility. Therefore, it is better to remove it through surgery. So how should we take care of our body after the operation? What are the things we need to do and what we cannot do after the operation? Let's take a look together.

1. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene

Female friends should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene. While ensuring their own personal hygiene, they should also pay attention to the hygiene between husband and wife in time to avoid infection and recurrence of the disease. In daily life, pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva.

2. In terms of diet

Patients should enhance the body's resistance, eat more high-vitamin, high-protein, easily digestible foods, and eat more green tea, garlic (hot), Ganoderma lucidum, spirulina, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, Gynostemma pentaphyllum, honey, royal jelly, pollen, kelp, etc. Avoid fried food, food containing pigments, preservatives, flavors, saccharin, acid-soaked food, spoiled food, etc. Quit smoking and drinking, eat less raw and frozen food, and avoid spicy food.

3. Treatment of postoperative bleeding

The scab shedding and bleeding period will last for 7 to 14 days after cervical polyp surgery, and the amount of bleeding will be heavier. If there is only a small amount of vaginal bleeding, no treatment is required, and it will stop on its own in 4 to 6 days. If the bleeding gradually decreases, the blood color is normal, and there is no accompanying discomfort, there is no need to worry too much, as it is a normal phenomenon.

4. Avoid sexual intercourse

It is not advisable to have sex right after treating cervical polyps. You should go to the hospital to check your recovery status after one month.

5. Regular inspection

After cervical polyp surgery, you should go to the hospital for regular check-ups. The first check-up should be about 3 months after the surgery, and then every six months to one year.

6. Seek medical attention early

If some patients have heavy and continuous bleeding, the color turns black, or are accompanied by abdominal pain and other discomfort, it may be caused by cervical or uterine injury, infection, etc. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and not delay the treatment.

After the operation, due to the different physical conditions of each patient, some unpleasant symptoms may occur. You must take these situations seriously and pay more attention to the condition of your body. If any particularly serious situation occurs, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible, so as not to delay the disease and avoid bad results.
