Patient's question:
I had an abortion procedure on June 12th of this year. On November 4th, I had sexual intercourse (at that time, protective measures were taken, but it's possible they weren't fully effective). My previous period was on the 20th of October, and the one before that was on the 15th of September. My period hasn't arrived this month yet. On November 10th, I used Daktarin suppositories for vaginitis for three consecutive days. Starting on the 14th, I began taking traditional Chinese medicine (because I was quite weak after the previous postpartum). I took it for seven days, but I'm not sure about the specific ingredients. Originally, I planned to go to Shuguang Hospital on Wednesday (November 23rd) to get a prescription for a herbal paste. Can I still take the herbal paste now? Additionally, before November 28th, I took and for about eight days.Doctor's answer:
If there is a vaginal bacterial infection, it is recommended to use 2% - 3% baking soda solution or Jie'eryin to clean the external genitalia and vagina within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, follow the same method to clean, dry the external genitalia, and place a Chikangfute suppository, miconazole, or clotrimazole suppository deep into the vagina, using it before bedtime each night. For external genital inflammation, Daktarin cream can be applied to the external genitalia. Generally, a course of treatment lasts 10-14 days. After stopping medication for 7 days, a follow-up is recommended. Once symptoms disappear for 2 weeks, a third test should be conducted, and treatment can only be completed upon full recovery. After 35 weeks of pregnancy, to avoid intrauterine infection, vaginal internal procedures should not be performed.Regarding the question of whether pregnant women can use Daktarin suppositories, I believe you can find the answer in the above description. In summary, when taking medication during pregnancy, it is best to do so under the guidance of a doctor.
