Introduction
In general, whether or not one can take propolis after hysteroscopic polypectomy depends on various factors and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Hysteroscopic polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat endometrial polyps. Propolis has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerating properties that may aid in postoperative recovery; therefore, taking propolis after hysteroscopic polypectomy may be beneficial.

In general, after undergoing hysteroscopic polyp surgery, it may be acceptable to take propolis, but in some cases it may not be advisable. This depends on various factors. The details are as follows:

1. Permissible

Hysteroscopic polyp surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat endometrial polyps. Propolis has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerating properties that may support postoperative recovery. Therefore, taking propolis after hysteroscopic polyp surgery may be beneficial. When consuming propolis, it is recommended to choose natural, additive-free products to ensure safety and effectiveness.

2. Not permissible

Some patients may be allergic to propolis. Consuming it after surgery could exacerbate allergic reactions, potentially impairing surgical outcomes and delaying recovery. For these individuals, propolis should be avoided.

Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly if they experience any discomfort after surgery and to follow standardized treatment under the guidance of a physician, which can promote proper recovery.
