Abstract: Objective To explore the nursing method for the prevention and treatment of vaginal adhesions in patients treated with full-dose radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Methods From 2015 to 2016, 80 cervical cancer patients who received radiotherapy were treated with domestic vaginal washing, vaginal local use of"Fufangbao", infection control, diet and sexual rehabilitation guidance, and so on, and the nursing outcome was evaluated. Results Of the 80 patients, 6 were lost during follow-up, resulting in a follow-up rate of 92.5%. Ten, five, and three patients were found to have grade 1, 2, and 3 vaginal toxicity, respectively. The patients with grade 1 vaginal toxicity were not treated with special treatment and were asked to do more vaginal washing. The patients with grade 2 and 3 vaginal toxicity were treated with daily vaginal washing and"Fufangbao" for repairing the vagina;vaginal adhesions disappeared or improved 3 months later. The patients with no vaginal adhesions had regular sexual intercourse and thus had improved quality of life. Conclusions Effective clinical nursing can reduce the incidence of vaginal adhesions and stenosis, improve patients’ quality of life, and promote the harmony of family.
