4 Precautions after endometrial polyp surgery

1. Prevention of pain: Patients may experience varying degrees of pain after surgery. Advise them to relax, as the pain can usually be relieved on its own. If it cannot be relieved, analgesics can be given.

2. Routine care is to lie flat without a pillow for 6 hours to avoid raising the head too early, which may cause cerebrospinal fluid to seep out of the meningeal cavity from the puncture site, resulting in low intracranial pressure and headache.

3. Observe the urination situation and supervise, guide and assist the patient to urinate early. For those who really have difficulty urinating, induced urination can be given and catheterization can be performed when necessary.

4. Pay attention to cleaning. Pay attention to local hygiene after the operation and keep the perineum clean. It is recommended to take a shower instead of a bath to avoid infection. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within two weeks after the operation to avoid infection.

5. Pay attention to diet. After endometrial polyp surgery, patients can eat nutritious soft food. After the surgery, they should also avoid eating spicy, raw, cold and other irritating foods.
