Will there be contraceptive failure when using external contraceptive pills for the first time?

Patient's question:

Using external contraceptive pills for the first time may lead to successful breastfeeding with mild vaginitis! There is some itching after intercourse! Do I need to continue taking the contraceptive pills?

Doctor's answer:

External contraceptive pills, when used correctly, have an effectiveness rate of over 99%. Post-coital itching may be related to vaginitis. Pay attention to personal hygiene during sexual activity, expose underwear to sunlight, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and can use local medication: Nystatin cream. When patients face the problem of vaginitis, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If vaginitis does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
