Can you take medication to treat vaginal infections during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

What kind of help do you care about: Consultation

Doctor's answer:

You need to identify what type of vaginitis you have. Most cases of vaginitis are treated with topical medication in the vagina, with very few requiring oral medication, unless it is a fungal vaginitis. Most medications can enter breast milk, but there are also some that are safe to use during breastfeeding. However, it is first necessary to determine the type of vaginitis and decide on the appropriate treatment based on the situation. It is naturally best not to need treatment, but for the sake of the baby's health. Vaginitis can be a serious condition, so it is recommended that patients start treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be considered, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The answers provided above are hoped to help you. Thank you.
