Patient's question:
I would like to consult about it. I have been postpartum for seven and a half months, and recently I have experienced lower back pain again. I don't have any other abnormalities, but my discharge is slightly yellow. There is no itching or other discomfort in the lower abdomen. Could it be a gynecological inflammation? Before giving birth, I used a gynecological ( is a type of medication), which worked very well. Is it safe to use during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is inferred that gynecological inflammation cannot be treated with over-the-counter medication, especially during breastfeeding, when self-medication is absolutely not recommended. You should visit a regular hospital's gynecological clinic for a follow-up examination, have your vaginal discharge checked carefully, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment to avoid missing the optimal treatment window. The likelihood of recurring lower back pain and gynecological inflammation is not very high. It is more likely caused by cold exposure or fatigue. Oral medications should be used with caution during breastfeeding. External application medications and topical treatments can be used in sufficient amounts.
