What should you pay attention to after vaginal polyp surgery?

Vaginal polyps are a common gynecological disease in women, usually caused by chronic inflammation. Vaginal wall polyps are mostly asymptomatic, but may cause a small amount of vaginal bleeding or contact bleeding. Many of them are discovered during follow-up examinations after surgery. When women have vaginal contact bleeding, they must go to the hospital for examination in time to confirm the cause. Do not be careless or delay. Nowadays, vaginal polyps are generally treated surgically. So, what should we pay attention to after vaginal polyp surgery? Let's take a look.

1. After treatment, you should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and refrain from sexual intercourse within one month. Go to the hospital for a review of your recovery after one month.

2. Pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue. Although the operation is very simple, short and traumatic, patients should still pay attention to let the body recover to normal level as much as possible to avoid pathogenic bacteria from invading and wreaking havoc when the patient's immunity is low.

3. Take medicine on time and have regular checkups. Patients should take anti-infective drugs according to the doctor's instructions and should not stop taking the drugs or increase or decrease the dosage at will. In view of the high recurrence rate of this disease, it is best for patients to have a checkup every 2 months to reduce subsequent effects.

4. Eat light and nutritious food. After surgery, patients can choose some foods that are easy to digest and rich in vitamins, such as tomatoes and apples. However, spicy, irritating, greasy, and high-sugar foods are not conducive to wound healing, so patients are advised to eat less or no food.

5. Pay attention to hygiene and stop taking prescriptions. After the polyp is removed, the wound will be gradually covered by new cell tissue and then return to normal. During this period, the patient must abstain from sex to prevent semen and sexual intercourse from stimulating the wound and causing poor healing. To prevent infection, it is best for the patient to rinse the vulva with clean water every day and change underwear frequently to prevent bacteria from entering the vagina.

6. The following points should be noted about diet after surgery: After surgery, the diet should mainly consist of light food, do not eat spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, do not drink frozen drinks, eat more protein-rich foods, etc. Avoid spicy foods and drinks such as chili peppers, peppercorns, raw onions, raw garlic, and white wine. Eat more lean meat, chicken, eggs, quail eggs, crucian carp, turtle, fruits, etc. Avoid eating foods that are hot, coagulant, or contain hormones, such as longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, and royal jelly. Do not eat mutton, shrimp, crab, eel, salted fish, black fish and other irritating foods.

Based on the above analysis, we found that vaginal polyp surgery is not complicated, so patients must receive timely treatment, early detection, early treatment, and early recovery. The disease should not be delayed for any reason, which will eventually lead to more serious consequences. Relax your mind, don't be overly nervous, pay attention to your diet, get more rest, and get enough sleep, so that your body will definitely be healthier.
