Abstract:
Objective to investigate the clinical effect of constant temperature vaginal mould in preventing vaginal stricture in patients with cervical cancer treated with radiotherapy. Methods from January 2017 to December 2018, 80 patients with cervical cancer were selected and divided into vaginal irrigation control group (n = 40) and observation group (n = 40). The incidence of vaginal stricture was compared between the two groups. Results the incidence of vaginal stenosis was 32.50% in the observation group and 70.00% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion vaginal mould is helpful to reduce the incidence of vaginal stenosis caused by external irradiation and close irradiation, which is worth popularizing in the future.
