Patient's question:
Is it clean for multiple people to share a pad during a gynecological examination? Although there is a pad underneath, I am a little worried.Doctor's answer:
A woman goes to the hospital for a gynecological examination. If there is a disposable pad placed underneath, it will not be a big issue for me at all. Since the large pad is cushioned by the disposable pad, it does not come into direct contact with anything. Even if many people share it, there will be absolutely no risk of infection. However, if disposable pads are not used, it will definitely be unhygienic. During the thorough examination, it is also advisable to ask the doctor to change all the bed sheets and pads.
