Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should I best care for myself after the umbilical cord falls off?Doctor's answer:
After the umbilical cord falls off, there may be moist or rice-water-like fluid leakage locally. You can use a sterile cotton swab dipped in 75% alcohol to clean it. Alternatively, you can first apply 2% tincture of iodine, then follow up with 75% alcohol to de-iodize. Avoid using gentian violet on the umbilical area, as it may hinder the observation of umbilical infection. It is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the umbilical area to prevent contamination.The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
