The need for sanitary napkins after endometrial polyp surgery is due to the fact that after this procedure, patients usually experience vaginal bleeding, so they need to maintain hygiene to avoid infection, and they should also eat a light diet after the procedure.
Endometrial polyp surgery is a procedure to remove endometrial polyps under hysteroscopy by electrocautery. Before the wound heals after the surgery, patients may experience vaginal bleeding, which lasts for about 7 to 10 days, during which time patients can use sanitary napkins to keep the area clean and avoid infection.
In addition, patients should pay attention to their diet during the recovery period, preferring light, easy-to-digest food, and should avoid heavy physical labor and sexual intercourse for one month after the operation.
If you have undergone endometrial polyp surgery, please follow the doctor’s instructions for subsequent recovery.
