Patient's question:
A careful examination during lactation revealed acute vaginitis. Vaginal cleanliness was rated 3, with +++ white blood cells and occasional pus cells. No Candida, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma, or Chlamydia were observed. In any case, what help is available: Currently, there are no symptoms, so how can medication be avoided? I would like to wait until the baby is weaned before treatment.Doctor's answer:
If there are no symptoms now, there is no need to implement drug treatment, but you can appropriately use topical medication. Although you are currently breastfeeding, many topical medications can be used, meaning that appropriate medication treatment can still be implemented during breastfeeding. There are many treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the patient's condition is different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
