Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “Is abdominal pain and black stools after 2 months of colon polyp removal serious? ” as follows:
Usually after colon polyp removal procedure, the patient's health will gradually recover. With small polyps, the foot of the cut will heal on its own within a week. Larger polyps that have a polyp leg loop before cutting, the clip or clip will leave the cut on its own in about 5-7 days from the day of the procedure. However, if there are abnormal manifestations such as:
Abdominal pain, bleeding or a large amount of rectal discharge Fever, dizziness, nausea, vomiting Anal edema Cough, shortness of breath, The chest is distended or tight... If the stool is bloody or black, the patient should immediately go to a medical facility with a specialist in gastroenterology, hepatobiliary disease for timely treatment.
