How long to rest for uterine polyp surgery

Endometrial polyps are formed by localized hyperplasia of the endometrium and can occur at any age after puberty and are a common benign gynecologic condition. Currently, the most commonly performed surgery for endometrial polyps is hysteroscopic polyp removal. For small, asymptomatic endometrial polyps, they can be temporarily left untreated, and some of them can fall off on their own when the ultrasound is reviewed after menstruation; however, for patients with multiple, large, obvious symptoms or the possibility of malignant change cannot be ruled out, surgery is recommended, and the most common surgical procedure is hysteroscopic polypectomy. For single polyps that are not very large, the doctor judges that the difficulty of surgery is relatively low and the surgery can be done on an outpatient basis without hospitalization. For polyps that are multiple, larger in size and more difficult to operate, or if the patient’s physical condition is poor, hysteroscopic surgery can be performed on an inpatient basis. Usually, patients need to rest for 3-5 days after the outpatient surgery, while those who are hospitalized can rest for 2 weeks, depending on their physical condition, and the recovery can be understood through the doctor’s examination during the postoperative review. Hysteroscopic surgery has the advantages of less trauma, faster recovery and thorough treatment, and is widely used in clinical practice, and recovery is usually faster after surgery.
