Abdominal pain after polypectomy is sometimes normal, but it can also be a sign of wound infection or intestinal adhesion. If you experience such discomfort, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly for appropriate treatment and care under a doctor's guidance.
1. Normal Phenomenon: Postoperative abdominal pain may be related to the residual anesthetic drugs. When the anesthetic drugs have not been completely metabolized in the body, they may cause discomfort. Usually, there is no need for special concern in this case. As time passes and the anesthetic drugs are fully metabolized, the pain will gradually disappear. Rest and dietary adjustments are helpful for accelerating recovery.
2. Wound Infection: Postoperative wound care is crucial. Improper care may lead to bacterial infection of the wound, causing local redness, swelling, and pain. In such cases, doctors may recommend antibiotics such as Amoxicillin Capsules or Cefixime Granules to help fight the infection. Keeping the wound clean and dry, and following the doctor's care advice, can effectively prevent infection.
3. Intestinal Adhesion: Improper diet may trigger intestinal adhesion, leading to abdominal pain. After surgery, spicy, irritating, and cold foods should be avoided, and a light and regular diet should be maintained. Doctors may recommend medications that promote gastrointestinal motility, such as Domperidone Tablets or Mosapride Citrate Tablets, to help alleviate symptoms. If the above methods fail to improve the pain, or if severe symptoms such as intestinal obstruction or intestinal perforation occur, immediate medical attention is required. Visit the gastroenterology department of a formal hospital for examination and treatment to ensure that the problem is properly resolved.
The recovery period after surgery requires special attention to changes in the body. Paying attention to your body's signals and communicating with your doctor in a timely manner is key to ensuring a healthy recovery. During the recovery period, maintaining good living and eating habits can help the body recover to a healthy state faster.
