How soon can you walk after colon polyp surgery

After colorectal polyp surgery, you can walk normally after waking up from anesthesia, but avoid strenuous activities for 15 days after surgery, normal activities are fine. The operation of colorectal polyps is now performed under the colonoscope, where the polyps are removed directly by cautery or direct excision, and the larger wounds are then closed with titanium clips. The biggest complication after colon polyp surgery is the possibility of bleeding, and bleeding from the intestine, if it is large, needs to be stopped again under the colonoscope. If the patient has a lot of bleeding after discharge, he/she needs to return to the hospital as soon as possible for treatment and another colonoscopy. It is clinically found that most rectal polyps do not bleed after surgery, and the chance of bleeding is relatively low, but one must listen to medical advice and refrain from strenuous activities for 15 days to reduce the chance of bleeding.
