In fact, intestinal polyps are a very common disease. After the onset of the disease, you can use endoscopic resection of intestinal polyps to reduce the harm of intestinal polyps to the body. However, for some smaller intestinal polyps, since they do not affect the patient's physical health, they can also be controlled by medication. So, what issues do patients need to pay attention to after endoscopic resection of a 3cm intestinal polyp?

Some patients may ask what they should pay attention to after endoscopic resection of a 3cm intestinal polyp. In fact, such questions are very necessary. Proper postoperative care can not only enable patients to recover as soon as possible, but also prevent the occurrence of postoperative complications. Therefore, the precautions are all centered around postoperative complications of intestinal polyps.

In terms of diet, patients should mainly eat liquid food and should not eat hard food, such as rice porridge, noodles, etc. These foods are relatively soft and easier to digest, and will not cause too much burden on the stomach and intestines. I have just had surgery and my stomach and intestines need some time to recover, so it is not recommended to eat high-fat and high-protein foods, as these foods will increase the burden on the intestines. It is recommended that patients eat food that requires chewing three days after surgery. The principle should be followed, from liquid food to semi-liquid food and then to normal food, in order to give the patient's intestines an adaptation process.

During the operation , some gas will enter the patient's intestines. These gases need to be discharged from the body. If the patient feels abdominal discomfort, he should go to the toilet to discharge the gas naturally. Never press the abdomen, as this may cause intestinal perforation or bleeding, causing greater pain to the patient.

The patient's body should get enough rest after the operation . It is recommended not to do strenuous exercise or lift heavy objects within two weeks. Patients should neither be too careless nor too worried after the operation and should maintain a good attitude. Excessive worry can lead to intestinal dysfunction, so patients should maintain a calm attitude and face current problems optimistically.
