Patient's question:
I was born with my daughter through a natural birth, but after the delivery, I kept having a fever. Today, while lying in bed, I suddenly thought that if a piece of gauze was left inside during the natural birth, could it cause this problem? Please tell me what symptoms would occur if gauze is left in the body after a natural birth?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is believed that there should be no gauze left in the body during a normal delivery. This is a rare occurrence. It is more appropriate to wait and see, as it has little impact on the body. If gauze is left in the body and it affects normal daily life, it needs to be removed as soon as possible. The specific situation should be analyzed, and targeted treatment should be provided to remove the gauze. After the gauze is removed, some antibiotic medications should be used to prevent local infection.
