Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and cold drafts. How should medication be used for vaginal infections during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It can be used! Treatment typically involves oral metronidazole and vaginal insertion of tinidazole suppositories, with a course of 7-10 days, repeated for 3 months, and 1% lactic acid solution for external vaginal washing. The husband should also be treated concurrently, and sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent dirty sexual contact and cross-infection.For treating trichomoniasis vaginitis, local medication alone is not sufficient because the bacteria have many hiding places, so oral medication should be used in conjunction. Oral medications like metronidazole, 200mg each time, three times a day, with a course of 7 days. After treatment, trichomoniasis should be tested. If the result is negative, a dedicated course of treatment should be administered after the next menstrual period to consolidate the therapeutic effect. Both partners should be treated simultaneously.
