First Embodiment

[0028] In an optional solution of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a sponge for gynecological disease treatment and menstrual hygiene provided in the present embodiment includes a sponge body 1. The sponge body 1 is in cylindrical shape, and a top portion 2 of the sponge body is hemispherical. A surface of the sponge body 1 is provided with annular grooves 3. The sponge body 1 is a compressed medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge. Currently, the medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge has not yet been used for gynecological disease treatment in the medical field. The conventional treatment process is complicated and has a long treatment cycle, which would affect the normal life of the patient, therefore the patients suffer from deep pains. In the present embodiment, the sponge body 1 is in a cylindrical shape and the top portion 2 thereof is hemispherical, which makes it is easy to place the sponge body into the vagina. The sponge body 1 is a compressed medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge. The medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge has extremely good elasticity, can be well positioned at and adapted to a surface of wound, and can apply a pressure uniformly to the surface of wound after swelling, due to absorption of liquid, according to the body's anatomical form. In this case, the cured body tissues can maintain the original form. Additionally, the medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge can well absorb the medicinal liquid, and can thus play a role of local sustained-release delivery. Therefore, the technical problems, such as the inaccurate location on the surface of wound in the vagina, non-uniform pressure, and poor treatment effect, are solved. Clinically, the medicinal liquid is injected into the sponge body 1, and then the sponge body with the medicinal liquid is placed against the lesion in the vagina. In this way, the medicine can be stably administered at a fixed point in large dose, and thus, the medicine can directly enter the lesion to kill pathological cells. With the sponge for gynecological disease treatment and menstrual hygiene provided in the present embodiment, the medicine has not to be administered by entering the digestive tract and the blood circulation system, and can be directly applied to the pathological cells in the vagina, so that the pathological cells are easier to be killed and the side effects of the medicine on the human body are significantly decreased, which provides more choices on the medicines for the doctors. The sponge for gynecological disease treatment and menstrual hygiene provided in the present embodiment may be also used as a menstrual hygiene product which has a well leakage-proof effect. When the sponge body is taken out, the annular grooves 3 may carry, solid wastes such as endometrium shedding and blood clots, out from the body, which is equivalent to cleaning the vagina. Such sponge is convenient to use, safety and hygienic.

[0029] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, a coating is provided on the surface of the hemispherical top portion 2 of the sponge body 1. The coating is a medical vaseline or antibiotic ointment coating. In the present embodiment, this coating can play a role of lubrication and anti-inflammation, and prevent the vaginal wall from being hurt and infected by friction.

[0030] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, the coating extends downwards from the hemispherical top portion 2 of the sponge body 1, and covers of a total length of the sponge body 1. In the present embodiment, the coating covers of the total length of the sponge body 1, so that the sponge body 1 can be more smoothly and conveniently placed into the vagina.

[0031] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, a pulling thread 4 is provided at bottom of the sponge body 1. In the present embodiment, when the sponge body 1 needs to be taken out of the vagina, the pulling thread 4 can be dragged to slowly pull the sponge body 1 out; the sponge body 1 can also be slowly pulled out with the help of tweezers.

[0032] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, a diameter of the sponge body 1 is preferably 15 mm, and a length of the sponge body is preferably 60 mm.

[0033] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, a diameter of the sponge body 1 after swelling is preferably 30 mm, and a length of the sponge body after swelling preferably 110 mm. In the present embodiment, the preferable dimension of the swelled sponge body 1 comply with the actual condition of the human body, and can expand the vagina, in such a way that the vagina is under a uniform pressure, and the treatment effect is better.

[0034] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, a design strength of the sponge body 1 is preferably 1.5 kg/cm.sup.2. In the present embodiment, the design strength of the sponge body 1 is preferably 1.5 kg/cm.sup.2, so that the breakage of the sponge body will not occur in the vagina, upon the sponge body is pulled out from the vagina through the pulling thread 4 or tweezers, and thereby requirements of clinical use can be met.

[0035] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, a breaking elongation of the sponge body 1 is preferably 110%. In the present embodiment, the breaking elongation of the sponge body 1 is preferably 110%, so that the elasticity thereof can meet requirements of clinical use.

[0036] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, the sponge body 1 is a medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge sterilized by cobalt-60 irradiation. In the present embodiment, the sponge body 1 is sterilized by cobalt-60 irradiation, so that the sterilization effect is significant.

[0037] Furthermore, in an optional solution of the present embodiment, the sponge body 1 is a medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge packaged through double seal. In the present embodiment, the sponge body 1 is packaged through double seal, so that an aseptic condition can be ensured and requirements of storage and clinical use can be met.

Second Embodiment

The sponge body 1 is in a cylindrical shape, and a top portion 2 of the sponge body is hemispherical. A surface of the sponge body 1 is provided with spiral grooves 3. The sponge body 1 is a compressed medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge. In the present embodiment, the sponge body 1 is in a cylindrical shape and the top portion 2 thereof is hemispherical, which makes it easy to place the sponge body into the vagina. The sponge body 1 is a compressed medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge. The medical polyvinyl alcohol sponge has extremely good elasticity, can be well positioned at and adapted to a surface of wound and can also well absorb the medicinal liquid, thereby playing a role of local sustained-release delivery. Clinically, the medicinal liquid is injected into the sponge body 1, and then the sponge body with the medicinal liquid is placed against the lesion in the vagina. In this way, the medicine can be stably administered at a fixed point in large dose, and thus, the medicine can directly enter the lesion to kill pathological cells. The sponge for gynecological disease treatment and menstrual hygiene provided in the present embodiment can be also used as a menstrual hygiene product which has a well leakage-proof effect. When the sponge body is taken out, the spiral grooves 3 may carry, solid wastes such as endometrium shedding and blood clots, out from the body.
