Patient's question:
I'm about to give birth, and I'm feeling very nervous. I'm naturally someone who fears pain as well, so I'm especially scared. Could you please tell me how long the balloon needs to be left in?Doctor's answer:
According to the question you raised, since you are about to produce uterine balloons for hemostasis, they are generally only used for women with severe bleeding. The placement time varies from person to person and should not exceed one week. It is recommended to rest more temporarily, avoid fatigue, and not eat spicy or irritating foods. Avoid bacterial and viral infections, and refrain from sexual activity for one month. Regular check-ups are also required. Generally, uterine balloons for women with uterine bleeding are removed after 48 hours. The placement of a balloon for uterine adhesion is because after undergoing uterine adhesion surgery, it is necessary to prevent the adhered endometrium from continuing to stick together, serving the purpose of separation. The placement time for the balloon should be around 1-2 weeks.
