How to relieve cervical erosion until it is relieved?

Patient's question:

Symptoms: Severe cervical erosion and fibroid polyps
Condition and issues:
1. I just had cervical repair surgery. The doctor suggested using sanitary pads with paper underneath during menstruation. I read online that damp sanitary paper can lead to bacterial growth and infections, which makes me very concerned. Why did the doctor ask me to do this?
2. I had cervical repair surgery three days ago, and my period started in the morning. Will this affect the repair?

Doctor's answer:

General cervical repair is usually scheduled within one week after the menstrual period ends to prevent industrial contamination of the wound.
Guidance and recommendations: Considering the timing of your surgery, it may not be the ideal time. If you experience menstruation, there is a possibility of some industrial contamination of the wound. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory measures, maintain a light diet, and seek offline medical follow-up at any time if you feel discomfort.
Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good cleanliness. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
