Patient's question:
I have been undergoing laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy for more than half a month. I previously had a D&C procedure and have been bleeding continuously. Today, the blood has turned black, and I used povidone-iodine to clean my vagina. Will this cause an infection?Doctor's answer:
Half a month after surgery, there is some vaginal bleeding, which is also a common phenomenon. Using povidone-iodine to wipe the vagina will definitely prevent infection. After ectopic pregnancy surgery, it is necessary to return to the hospital promptly for blood tests to check hCG levels to understand the rise in hCG. Rest more attention after surgery. In addition to treating ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended that patients pay attention to diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
