Patient's question:
Female, 18 years old, accidentally pregnant, afraid to tell anyone.Doctor's answer:
Self-preparation before surgery1. Abstain from sexual activity to avoid increasing the risk of vaginal infection.
2. Take a shower in the morning on the day of the hospital visit, focusing on cleaning the external genital area, but be careful not to let water enter the vagina.
3. Wear underwear and outerwear that are easy to put on and take off. Bring enough cash. If you have a fixed hospital medical record, bring it along as well.
4. It’s best to have someone accompany you. Navigating between the registration desk, outpatient clinic, laboratory, payment counter, and pharmacy is faster with two people than with one.
5. Before leaving home, bring a few sanitary pads and some clean facial tissues. During the examination, the doctor will use disinfectant to clean the external genital area. If you’re not prepared, you’ll end up feeling awkward and damp after the check.
