How is cervical dilation performed?

Female friends certainly need to know how cervical dilation is used, or what issues need to be paid attention to during this process, because this dilation technique is often used in some gynecological problems. If we do not pay attention to the understanding of these common sense, it will easily cause infection, and the impact will naturally be greater. So now I want to give you a detailed introduction to the problems of this dilation technique.

1. Routinely disinfect the vulva and vagina.

2. Place a vaginal speculum, expose the cervix, disinfect the vagina, cervix and cervical canal, clamp the anterior lip of the cervix and pull it outward, correct the uterine flexion to a horizontal position, use a probe to carefully explore the direction and depth of the cervical canal, and after the probe passes through the internal os of the uterus, remove the probe and use a cervical dilator to dilate the cervical canal.

3. The operator holds the dilator in a pen-like manner and gently inserts the dilator into the cervix, leaving the internal os of the cervical canal 1 to 2 cm away. The initial size of the dilator is determined according to the tolerance of the patient's cervix, generally starting from size 2 to 4 and gradually expanding to size 7 to 8 in sequence. When the cervix is ​​tight and has poor elasticity, the stay time of the dilator can be extended. Do not be impatient to avoid cervical laceration.

4. After the operation, remove the dilator, disinfect the cervix, and remove the speculum.

1. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and vagina, and do not take a tub bath.

2. Use antibiotics as appropriate.

3. Take adequate rest after the operation and refrain from sexual intercourse until the next menstrual period.

4. Follow-up visit after menstruation to evaluate the efficacy of surgery.

complication

1. Cervical laceration.

2. Cervical bleeding.

Paying attention to the use and contraindications of these expansion techniques, we can reduce the incorrect use of this technology in life, and reduce other impacts and hazards to our reproductive health. Therefore, we hope that everyone can pay special attention to these issues in life to avoid more adverse injuries.
