Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I just gave birth 14 days ago and had a D&C procedure 9 days ago. Now there are still a few streaks of blood, but the past two days I've been experiencing some vaginal itching. I bought a bottle of Baiai liquid and soaked in it a few times, but the itching only subsides temporarily. I'd like to take medication. Can I use vaginal medication? I'm currently breastfeeding. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
In this case, since it is an external medication, it does not cause significant absorption into the bloodstream, so it will not affect the child's breastfeeding. You can use it with peace of mind. At the same time, I recommend adding oral anti-inflammatory drugs such as cefaclor, and using Jie Er Yin to clean the external genital area. This will be more effective in curing the inflammation. After the inflammation is cured, you can then use a birth control ring. Additionally, cephalosporin antibiotics will not affect breastfeeding.
