When can I eat after polyp removal

After polyp removal, patients are usually allowed to eat six hours after surgery. Polyps are very common, which is a collective term that includes many types of diseases, such as intestinal polyps, gastric polyps and so on. If polyps are not removed, they may gradually increase in size, and they may become cancerous, and the prognosis is very poor once they become cancerous. Patients can choose endoscopic polypectomy. After polypectomy, patients need to be observed for discomfort, if there is no abdominal pain and blood in the stool, they can eat liquid food after six hours. If the liquid diet goes well, the patient can be transitioned to semi-liquid and normal diet. If there is blood in the stool or abdominal pain, it is necessary to stop eating and determine the cause, and then treat accordingly.
