Patient's question:
I developed trichomoniasis during breastfeeding. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor prescribed two medications: one for external washing (Huángbǎi wash solution) and one to be inserted into the vagina (Amphotericin B vaginal effervescent tablets). However, after inserting just two Amphotericin B vaginal effervescent tablets, I experienced a burning sensation. The instructions say that if you are allergic to this product, you should stop using it. After that, I didn’t dare to use it anymore because I am allergic to penicillin. What medications are safe to use for trichomoniasis during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
You can use berberine solution to rinse the vagina and place metronidazole tablets into the deep part of the vagina once a day. During the treatment, it is essential to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia to prevent secondary bacterial infections. Wash the external genitalia daily, change underwear and pants, and sterilize them. In the acute phase, avoid consuming spicy foods and alcohol, and sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Immediate family members should also receive treatment. Maintain a good routine and increase physical exercise to enhance the body's resistance and immunity.
