The number of days of abstinence after removal of intestinal polyps is related to the size, number, nature of the polyps, and the type of surgery, etc. In general, patients need to abstain from sex for 2 weeks or more. After surgery, the patient’s body is weaker, the diet is also affected, physical strength is poor, it is not recommended to have sex too early. In general, smaller polyps can be removed directly by minimally invasive surgery or colonoscopy, and the recovery after surgery is faster, if there is no abdominal pain and bleeding, abstinence for 1-2 weeks can be. If the polyp is large or suspected to be cancerous, open surgery is needed to remove part of the intestinal tube, which is more damaging to the patient’s body and requires a longer recovery time after the operation, and abstinence for 1-2 months after the operation is generally recommended. In addition, if the patient’s polyp position is more downward, such as in the sigmoid colon or more close to the lower position, it is necessary to appropriately extend the time of abstinence. It is recommended that patients pay attention to more rest, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, and promote early recovery after intestinal polyp removal surgery.
