After cervical polyp surgery, it is important to rest adequately and maintain a balanced diet, opting for light meals and avoiding greasy foods. Pay attention to genital hygiene and clean the area regularly with warm water. Avoid strenuous activities and refrain from cycling during the recovery period. Be mindful of daily dietary choices—avoid foods high in sugar, excessively oily, or spicy—and choose mild, easily digestible foods instead. Maintain good genital hygiene after surgery by washing daily with warm water; avoid sitting baths to reduce the risk of contaminated water entering the vagina and causing inflammation. Monitor vaginal bleeding closely after the procedure; if heavy bleeding occurs, seek medical follow-up promptly.
