Patient's question:
Currently still in breastfeeding, menstruation has not arrived yet. After giving birth, I have undergone two thorough examinations. The doctor carefully observed the cervix and stated it was smooth without any damage. A vaginal discharge test showed that the cleanliness was not sufficient. For the past half and more than a month, I have been experiencing lower back pain. The day before yesterday, I suddenly felt a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor carefully observed and stated that there was mild cervical erosion. The doctor inserted a hand to gently press the uterus, feeling it was swollen and heavy. Due to the need to change the baby's diaper, the doctor prescribed "Ginseng and Astragalus Granules" and "Cephalexin Cell Repair Capsules."Doctor's answer:
Mild cervical erosion doesn't require treatment, as it generally normalizes on its own with good health. It's especially inappropriate to treat or take medication during breastfeeding.Lower back pain and a sudden sensation of heaviness in the lower abdomen a few days ago could indicate pelvic issues or discomfort related to an impending menstrual period. It's advisable to wait a few more days for observation and avoid rushing to medication. It's better to consult a reputable traditional Chinese medicine hospital for diagnosis, and then adjust treatment based on specific conditions. Using Western medicine during breastfeeding should be approached with caution, as it may interfere with milk production.
