Patient's question:
I just had a cervical repair, and the doctor thinks I should place paper under the sanitary pad during my period. I saw online that wet sanitary paper can breed bacteria and cause infections, and I'm very worried. But why did the doctor ask me to do this?Doctor's answer:
General cervical repair is usually decided to be performed within one week after the menstrual period ends, which can prevent industrial contamination of the wound. Considering your surgery time, it may not be the optimal time, and menstrual flow could potentially cause some industrial contamination of the wound. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory measures and maintain a light diet. If you experience any discomfort, it is advisable to consider visiting a hospital for follow-up treatment offline. In addition to receiving standard treatment for cervical erosion, patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
