What are the dietary principles after polypectomy of the intestine?
In general, after removal of intestinal polyps, the intestine is left with a small wound surface, and dietary management is a key factor in preventing bleeding and promoting healing. The overall principle can be summarized as starting with a liquid diet, progressing to a semi-liquid diet, then soft foods, and finally returning to a regular diet. Throughout this period, it is essential to adhere to a low-residue, low-fiber, mild, and frequent small-meal regimen. If persistent bloating, cramping pain, or rectal bleeding occurs, eating should be stopped immediately and the surgeon should be contacted.
