Patient's question:
Symptoms: Severe cervical erosion and fibroid polypsCondition and problems:
1. I just had cervical repair, and the doctor suggested placing paper under sanitary pads during menstruation. I read online that wet sanitary paper can breed bacteria and cause infections, which worries me. But why did the doctor ask me to do this?
2. I had cervical repair three days ago, and my period started in the morning. Will this 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, and you need to take anti-inflammatory measures, maintain a light diet, and if you feel uncomfortable, you should consider visiting a hospital for follow-up care. For patients with cervical erosion, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care during the treatment period, such as maintaining hygiene and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
