Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm six months pregnant. Today, for the first time I trimmed my pubic hair, and it tore off two pieces of flesh, causing a lot of bleeding. The scissors weren't rusty, but now I'm holding a tissue down there and dare not let go. I haven't sterilized anything. We have some red antiseptic at home. Can I use it? I'm very worried about whether this will affect the baby.Doctor's answer:
No infection means no harm to the fetus. It is recommended to go to the hospital for local sterilization to resolve the issue. If the wound is large, compression cannot be applied with medication, and debridement should be performed. Tetanus antitoxin is best administered under anesthesia, which generally does not pose any adverse effects on the child. Tissues have bacteria, so it is best to go to the hospital to address this now.The above advice is for the question "I'm six months pregnant and got a piece of flesh cut off when I shaved my pubic hair for the first time today. What should I do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
