Patient's question:
Health consultation description: Post-cesarean section vaginitis. I had two internal examinations before the surgery, and it has been over a month now. It hasn't healed yet. I visited the hospital twice during this period. The first time, there was still some lochia, the discharge was yellow with a fishy odor. The doctor didn't identify the type of vaginitis but said it was bacterial. I was prescribed medication for half a month, and when the medication was almost finished, it returned. The second time, I went to a higher-level hospital for treatment. The doctor didn't specify the type of vaginitis but prescribed medication after a thorough examination. When the medication was almost finished, I ate some slightly spicy food, and it returned again. Now, my labia minora are itchy severely, red, and swollen. Due to the medication, the discharge is not visible. I am breastfeeding. How should I be treated?Doctor's answer:
Women who breastfeed, suffer from vaginitis, and now have recurring external genital redness and swelling, which may be related to vaginal or sexual hygiene, are considered to have developed vulvitis. For breastfeeding women with vaginitis and vulvitis, they can use Jieryin liquid for washing and apply Nofurteral suppositories for treatment. Alternatively, they can take oral cephalexin while washing the external genitalia with soda water. It is essential to maintain vaginal cleanliness and hygiene during treatment, and sexual activity must be strictly prohibited during the treatment period.
