Polyps refer to a type of vegetation that grows on the surface of human tissue. Polyps not only grow in the intestines, large intestine, colon, stomach, gallbladder, throat, nose and other areas, but also in the uterus and cervix of women. As the uterus and cervix are reproductive organs, some women want to know how many days it takes to have sexual intercourse after polyp surgery? Below, the editor will explain to all the women.
How long it takes to have sexual intercourse after polyp surgery varies depending on the size, location, and surgical method of the polyp in women. If the polyp is relatively small in size and located in the cervix, laser, radiofrequency, and freezing methods can be used to remove it. After about a week of surgery, it can return to normal. For this type of polyp, sexual intercourse is usually possible after one week.
But if the polyp is relatively large in size and grows in the endometrium or cervical canal, it needs to be surgically removed by hysteroscopy using electric resection method. Due to the large wound, it takes two to three weeks to fully recover after surgery, so it takes at least three weeks to have sexual intercourse. If sexual intercourse is done too early, it may cause external bacteria to enter and then retrograde into the uterus, causing infection and inflammation, which is not conducive to recovery.
After undergoing polyp surgery, it is best to rest for one to two days and take some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs orally to prevent infection. At the same time, pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, keep the area dry, change underwear frequently, and place underwear in a sunny location for drying and sterilization. The diet should be light and avoid spicy, stimulating or cold foods. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted after surgery to avoid the possibility of recurrence.
