After endometrial polyp removal, there will be local wounds, which will take about a week to heal slowly. Therefore, during the healing process, due to the contraction of the uterus, pain may occur.

1. Dietary considerations: After surgery, you can eat nutritious soft food and reduce the intake of irritating foods.

2. Observe the urination situation: supervise, guide and assist the patient to urinate at an early stage. For those who really have difficulty urinating, induce urination and provide catheterization if necessary.

3. Early mobility: Except for high-risk patients, patients can be guided to turn over and move around in bed within 6 hours after surgery, and can get out of bed and move around after 6-8 hours, and gradually increase the amount of activity.

4. Pain care: Patients may experience varying degrees of pain after surgery. Advise them to relax. Most pain can be relieved on their own. If it cannot be relieved, analgesics can be given.

5. Perineal care: After surgery, the perineum can be scrubbed with 1/5000 potassium permanganate or 0.1% chlorhexidine solution twice a day to avoid retrograde infection of the uterine cavity during catheterization.

6. Routine care: that is, lie flat without a pillow for 6 hours to avoid raising the head too early, which may cause cerebrospinal fluid to seep out of the meningeal cavity from the puncture site, resulting in low brain pressure, stretching the intracranial venous sinuses, meninges and other tissues, and causing headaches. It usually takes about a month to recover. It is recommended to have a follow-up check after a month to understand the recovery of the condition and wound after surgery.
