Precautions after removal of polyps by enteroscopy include paying attention to diet, observing the condition, and exercising appropriately.
1. Pay attention to diet: patients should pay attention to diet after colonoscopy polyp removal. Patients should avoid spicy, stimulating foods, such as chili, garlic, pepper, ginger and so on. Avoid excessive intake of dietary fiber in the early postoperative period, and should consume foods with little residue, such as chicken soup, milk, lotus root powder, etc., to avoid the formation of excessive feces, which will irritate the colon.
The time to start eating after surgery is when the bowel is deflated, and a liquid diet is needed in the early stage; after 2 days, if there is no discomfort, it can be changed to a semi-liquid diet; in general, it can be resumed to a normal diet one week after surgery.
2. Observe the condition: patients should closely observe their symptoms after polyp removal by colonoscopy, mainly observing whether there is blood in the stool. If the amount of bleeding is large, it is necessary to go to the hospital for further treatment.
3. Appropriate exercise: after the removal of polyps by colonoscopy, it is recommended that patients rest for a period of time and then exercise appropriately, such as jogging, playing tai chi, square dancing, etc., which can enhance physical fitness. However, the exercise time should not be too long, the action can not be too intense.
Enteroscopic polyp removal should follow the doctor’s instructions for postoperative care, and review on time.
