Vaginal compression after prolapse surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special vaginal packing (a soft support placed in the vagina) after prolapse surgery helps reduce bleeding and improves recovery. If you are having this type of surgery, the trial will compare the standard care with this extra compression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
