What precautions should be taken after colon polyp removal?

After undergoing colon polypectomy, certain precautions must be observed. First, adequate rest and reduced physical activity are essential postoperatively. Dietary adjustments are also critical: no food should be consumed for the first 48 hours following surgery. Thereafter, a light, easily digestible diet is recommended; patients should consume foods that support recovery while avoiding spicy, irritating, or constipating foods to prevent constipation. Additionally, monitor for symptoms such as abdominal pain and attend all scheduled follow-up examinations.
