Postoperative maintenance methods for endometrial polyps

Uterine polyps are one of the most common gynecological diseases. Endometrial polyps have a great impact on the health of female friends. Polyps in the uterus can cause excessive menstrual bleeding, and some patients will also experience irregular bleeding in the uterus. Currently, the treatment for endometrial polyps generally involves surgical removal of the polyps. Today we will learn about some maintenance methods after uterine polyp surgery.

Uterine polyps are a clinical manifestation of a common gynecological disease. They are caused by chronic inflammation that stimulates the local proliferation of the cervical mucosal tissue. Because the uterus itself has a tendency to reject, the proliferating mucosa gradually protrudes from the base to the external os of the cervix, forming a polyp-like change, so it is also called endocervical polyp. Once uterine polyps are discovered, they can be removed surgically or treated non-surgically. Uterine polypectomy is relatively simple. After disinfecting the vagina and cervix with iodine, use hemostatic forceps to clamp the base of the polyp pedicle and rotate it to remove it for treatment.

What are the maintenance matters after endometrial polyp surgery?

1. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within two weeks after the operation to avoid infection.

2. After the operation, you should pay attention to local hygiene and keep the perineum clean. It is recommended to take a shower instead of a bath to avoid infection.

3. After the operation, you should also avoid eating spicy, raw, cold and other irritating foods.

4. Take appropriate antibiotics to promote your body's recovery under the guidance of a doctor.

5. If a woman wants to get pregnant after surgery, she should take good care of her body as soon as possible after the removal of endometrial polyps and try to get pregnant after half a year.

6. After the operation, you can take contraceptive pills under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the secretion of estrogen. Patients with contraindications to contraceptive pills should avoid taking them.

That’s all for today regarding some maintenance methods after endometrial polyp removal. I hope that patients will be careful and pay attention to their lives, which will be of great benefit to their recovery. In addition, we should also pay attention to observing menstruation and vaginal secretions.
