Why does the stomach become uncomfortable after having intestinal polyps removed?
Disease description:
My friend recently had surgery for intestinal polyps and has been experiencing stomach discomfort afterward. I would like to ask why the stomach becomes uncomfortable after removal of intestinal polyps.
After undergoing intestinal polypectomy, gastric discomfort may be caused by multiple factors. The surgical procedure may lead to a certain degree of mucosal damage in the intestine, resulting in gastrointestinal dysfunction, which can manifest as stomach pain and bloating. Anesthetic agents used during the surgery may also affect gastrointestinal function, contributing to postoperative gastric discomfort. Additionally, improper dietary adjustments after surgery, such as excessive consumption of spicy or greasy foods or inadequate hydration, may irritate the gastric mucosa and cause discomfort. Complications such as Helicobacter pylori infection, postoperative intestinal adhesions, or intestinal obstruction may also lead to gastric discomfort. Therefore, patients should closely monitor their symptoms after intestinal polypectomy and seek timely medical evaluation if discomfort persists.
