The whole process of hysteroscopic polyp removal

Hysteroscopic polyp removal is a minimally invasive surgery mainly used to treat endometrial polyps. The surgical process includes preoperative preparation, anesthesia, hysteroscopic exploration, polyp removal and postoperative observation.

Hysteroscopic polyp removal surgery is usually performed 3-7 days after menstruation. Routine examinations such as blood routine, coagulation function, electrocardiogram, etc. are required before surgery to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery. On the day of surgery, patients need to eat and drink nothing and empty their bladder before surgery. The surgery uses intravenous anesthesia or epidural anesthesia, and the patient is in a pain-free state. The doctor inserts the hysteroscope into the uterine cavity through the vagina and cervix, observes the situation in the uterine cavity through the monitor, and locates the location of the polyps. Use an electroresection ring or scissors to remove the polyp, and send the removed tissue for pathological examination. The operation time is generally 10-30 minutes, and you can leave the hospital if there are no abnormalities after 1-2 hours of observation. You may experience mild abdominal pain and a small amount of vaginal bleeding after surgery, which is normal.

After surgery, you need to pay attention to rest, avoid strenuous exercise and heavy physical labor, keep the perineum clean, and prohibit bathing and sexual life for 1 month. The diet should be light and easy to digest, and consume more high-quality protein and vitamins to promote wound healing. Use antibiotics as directed by your doctor to prevent infection, such as cefaclor capsules, metronidazole tablets, etc. Check back 1 month after surgery to understand the recovery status. If you have fever, severe abdominal pain, massive vaginal bleeding, etc., you should seek medical treatment in time.

After hysteroscopic polyp removal, you should pay attention to observe the body's reaction, maintain good living habits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and review regularly. If there are any abnormalities, you should seek medical treatment in time and carry out follow-up treatment and care under the guidance of a doctor.
