Does vaginal polyp need to be operated after menstruation?

Does vaginal polyp surgery have to be done after menstruation?

1. It is generally believed that vaginal polyps do not require surgery after menstruation, but in order to avoid the menstrual period, you can choose the time of surgery under the guidance of a doctor according to your disease condition.

2. Vaginal polyps are a benign disease. Symptoms such as abnormal leucorrhea and vaginal bleeding may occur after the disease. Some patients may also experience vaginal pain at the same time, which not only affects health but also leads to a decrease in quality of life. Vaginal polypectomy can be used for treatment after the disease. It is generally recommended to perform the operation 3 to 7 days after menstruation. At this time, women have less vaginal secretions and a longer interval with the next menstruation, which is not easy to get infected and is conducive to recovery. However, if necessary, surgery can be performed at any time between two menstruations, but it may increase the risk of infection. To prevent postoperative infection, drugs such as amoxicillin sodium, ceftriaxone sodium, and cefuroxime sodium can be used under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection.

3. While following the doctor's advice, you should also maintain good living habits, keep the affected area clean and dry, clean the vulva with water frequently, change your underwear regularly, and avoid eating spicy foods such as peppers, ginger, and mustard. In order to promote physical recovery, avoid sexual intercourse within one month after surgery.
