Recovery after intestinal polyp surgery generally takes about one month. Patients usually require a certain recovery period after the procedure, with at least one month needed for full recuperation. It is also important to maintain healthy lifestyle habits and get adequate rest. During the recovery period, patients should consume liquid foods and reduce intake of high-fiber foods to prevent secondary bleeding. Additionally, patients should take precautions to prevent infection at the abdominal incision site to ensure prompt recovery.
