Patient's question:
Six months after a cesarean section, a gynecological examination revealed vaginitis with symptoms of vaginal congestion. I went to a pharmacy and was recommended to buy Funing. Is it safe to use? I am still breastfeeding, will it affect the child?History of previous treatment and effectiveness:
Composition of Funing: Sophora flavescens, Cortex phellodendri, Radix scutellariae, Curcumae rhizoma, Oyster shell powder, Cinnabar, Catechu, Frankincense, Myrrh, Pig bile powder, Iceberg. External application, produced by Outei Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
What kind of help do you want: I want to know if the medication will cause interference to the child.
Doctor's answer:
All medications can pass into the child through breast milk. Therefore, medication during breastfeeding is primarily based on topical use, which has minimal interference for the child. There are many medications available for vaginal inflammation that can be used during breastfeeding without interfering with the child. Wuming is effective for vaginal inflammation and can be used. Patients with vaginal inflammation can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Appropriate dietary choices should be made in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
