Patient's question:
1. I just had a cervical repair, and the doctor thinks I need to place paper under the sanitary pad during my period. I saw online that damp sanitary paper can promote bacterial growth and lead to infections, and I'm very worried. But why did the doctor ask me to do this?2. I started my period on the third day after the cervical repair. Will it affect the repair?
Doctor's answer:
General cervical repair is usually decided to be performed within one week after the menstrual period ends. This helps prevent industrial contamination of the wound. Considering your surgery time, it may not be the optimal time. If you have your period, there is a possibility of some industrial contamination of the wound. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory measures and maintain a light diet. If you feel uncomfortable, you should consider visiting a hospital for follow-up treatment in person.There are several treatment methods for cervical erosion, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic methods used also differ. Therefore, patients need to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the treatment can be tailored to their specific condition.
