Patient's question:
Postpartum day forty-two, a thorough examination revealed that the doctor said there were ++ pus cells and + epithelial cells in the leukorrhea. The doctor only mentioned that there was inflammation but didn't specify the type! Hello, is this vaginitis? There is no pain or itching between the legs, just occasional odor! Treatment history and effectiveness: The doctor prescribed Good Doctor Wash and Tannic Berberine Film. What help can you provide: I am currently breastfeeding. The doctor said these medications do not affect breastfeeding, but the product information says they should be used with caution! I am very worried. If I don't treat it now, can I just be careful with hygiene? Can you give me some good advice? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
There are 2 plus pus cells, indicating that there is still inflammation. These medications are for local vaginal use. Although they should be used with caution, the amount absorbed into the bloodstream through local application is very small, so the impact is minimal and there is no need to worry. If left untreated now, the possibility of complete recovery relying solely on the body is not high. Treatment for vaginitis is typically 7 days per course, and at least one full course should be completed. After the next menstrual period, another course of treatment should be administered to consolidate the results. During treatment, it is important to wash underwear, towels, and bed sheets with hot water or expose them to sunlight for sterilization. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy, acidic, or other irritating foods. Maintain cleanliness in the external genital area at all times, and change underwear frequently and cleanse the area regularly.
