Can women take medicine during lactation?

Patient's question:

Female, 37 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were on fire. Is this a sign of inflammation? Please ask: Can gynecological inflammation be treated with medication during breastfeeding?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the description of the above content, your condition is considered to be a case of vaginitis. Your condition is likely non-specific vaginitis, which generally includes symptoms such as a sensation of heaviness, increased vaginal discharge (purulent or serous), and sometimes external genital itching, frequent urination, and dysuria. Treatment typically involves using a gynecological wash to rinse the vagina, followed by inserting one suppository per night into the vagina for 7 days, alternating with symptomatic treatments.
