Patient's question:
The patient is a 24-year-old female. This week she felt discomfort in her lower abdomen and went to the hospital for tests. The results showed acute inflammation, and the doctor prescribed medication, including topical applications and oral medication. She asked if it's safe to take the medication, drink the medicine, and use the topical applications during breastfeeding. The doctor ignored her. Now, can she take the medication while breastfeeding? Does the topical application need to be dissolved? And does she need to go for a check-up after receiving three days of injections?Doctor's answer:
According to the information you provided, it has been confirmed as acute gynecological inflammation. My advice is:1. Follow the doctor's instructions and do not delay.
2. Stop breastfeeding and use a breast pump to express milk to prevent engorgement.
3. The cleaning solution must be dissolved. Use it as per the instructions.
4. After three days of injections, you must return for a follow-up to check the treatment effectiveness.
5. Maintain cleanliness, hygiene, and dryness in the vaginal area. Wash underwear frequently and sterilize them with boiling water.
6. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy, irritating foods. Eat less greasy food.
7. Maintain a regular diet and healthy lifestyle. Take medication on time and attend follow-up appointments as scheduled.
