May be: Polyps should not cause pain. If the pain is still there more than 2 days after the procedure, please contact your doctor. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
