Nursing measures for congenital absence of vagina

There are many factors that affect female infertility, such as fallopian tube factors, ovulation disorders, immune infertility and congenital absence of vagina, among which congenital absence of vagina leading to female infertility is relatively rare. If a woman is diagnosed with congenital absence of vagina, she generally needs surgery to restore her vagina. If you want to have surgery, you need to make various preparations. So how to care for congenital absence of vagina? Let's take a look.

Infertility experts say that congenital absence of vagina is one of the causes of female infertility and is also a manifestation of genital abnormality. Therefore, women should actively and effectively cooperate with treatment after discovering that they have congenital absence of vagina, and should also pay attention to nursing measures. The following is a detailed introduction to the nursing measures for congenital absence of vagina.

Infertility experts introduced that the nursing measures for congenital absence of vagina are as follows:

1. Preparation before surgery for congenital absence of vagina

Choose a vaginal model of appropriate size according to the patient's age, and prepare two or more vaginal models and T-belts for the patient, disinfect them and keep them ready for use. For patients undergoing free flap vaginoplasty, prepare the skin of the middle leg on one side, shave and disinfect the skin, and wrap it with a sterile treatment towel for use during the operation.

2. Psychological care for patients and their families

Nurses should communicate more with patients and their families, let them know relevant knowledge, and enhance their confidence in overcoming the disease. Married women who seek treatment due to sexual difficulties may make patients and their families feel desperate because of their infertility. Therefore, nurses should let family members (especially husbands) understand the occurrence and development of the disease, actively face reality, and understand patients.

3. Teach patients how to replace vaginal models

When the vaginal model is replaced for the first time, the wound has not healed completely and the patient is in obvious pain. Painkillers are often required within half an hour of replacement. During the replacement, the nurse should accompany the patient at the bedside, hold the patient's hand, and assist the doctor in placing the vaginal model and fixing it with a T-belt. The vaginal model should be of appropriate size and lubricant should be applied to the model to relieve pain.

IV. Post-operative discharge guidance

Patients are encouraged to keep using vaginal models after discharge, and to disinfect and replace them every day. Experts say that adolescent women should use vaginal models until they get married and have sex. Those who want to get married should go to the hospital for a checkup after surgery, and can have sex only after the penis wound is completely healed.

In summary, the care of congenital vagina requires not only adequate preparation, but also psychological care from medical staff. From pre-operative, post-operative to discharge, patients should also cooperate with doctors to provide comprehensive care. Experts say that how to care for congenital vaginal absence is directly related to the effectiveness of the surgery, so good care is the top priority.
