How can we prevent the recurrence of endometrial polyps?

Endometrial polyps are a common gynecological disease. Women with irregular menstruation or endometritis are susceptible to endometrial polyps. Endometrial polyps are benign lesions, but they may also cause female infertility and require timely treatment. Because endometrial polyps will not disappear on their own, they need to be removed from the body through curettage or surgery. However, no matter which treatment method is adopted, endometrial polyps are likely to recur and need to be treated through secondary surgery or hysteroscopy. In addition, you can also prevent the recurrence of endometrial polyps by eating foods such as grains, beans, vegetables, and dried fruits. The details are as follows:

1. Perform a secondary surgery

If endometrial polyps recur after surgery, a second surgery is usually required. Recurrence is usually caused by incomplete surgery. If polyps keep recurring, they may become malignant due to the stimulation of inflammation and excessive estrogen. Therefore, after a recurrence, you should choose a regular hospital for surgery.

Curettage surgery can be performed, but if it is not performed under direct vision and is done blindly, it is easy to miss something or leave polyps. This can easily lead to recurrence, and blind curettage can easily break up the polyp tissue, which can also affect pathological examination. Therefore, you can choose to treat polyps under hysteroscopy.

2. Perform hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopic examination and treatment of endometrial polyps can not only provide a clearer diagnosis, but also more thorough removal of the polyps. In addition, after the polyp is removed, attention should be paid to the treatment of chronic inflammation of the uterus and the high estrogen state should be adjusted to prevent the recurrence of polyps after surgery.

In order to avoid the recurrence of endometrial resection, patients must do a good job of nursing after the operation. In addition to adjusting their diet and lifestyle, it is best to have regular check-ups to detect changes in the condition in time and deal with them in time.

3. Prevention through diet therapy

You can eat more cereals, beans, and potatoes without any dietary restrictions; patients with endometrial polyps should also eat more vegetables, but avoid cold vegetables, especially those that are not suitable for eating raw; eating more foods that replenish deficiency and qi will help relieve pain; eating more poultry, fish and other foods will also have a good effect on replenishing blood and qi; you can eat more dried fruits, such as red dates, walnuts, and longans, which are all blood-replenishing and qi-nourishing, and are suitable for patients.
