Dr. Shen Yonghua
Adverse symptoms that may occur after intestinal polyp surgery include: 1. Abdominal pain and bloating: Due to surgical stimulation and recovery of bowel function, patients may experience mild to moderate abdominal pain and bloating, which usually gradually improve over time. 2. Changes in bowel habits: Some patients may experience altered bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or tenesmus, possibly due to the surgery affecting normal digestive function of the intestine. 3. Blood in stool: A minority of patients may notice blood in their stool after surgery, which could result from mucosal injury during the procedure. Typically, the bleeding is minimal; however, significant bleeding requires immediate medical attention. 4. Fever: If proper wound care is not maintained after surgery, wound infection may occur, leading to fever.
