What medications are used for vaginal infections during lactation

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Which medications are used for vaginal infections during lactation?

Doctor's answer:

Considering you may have a vaginal infection, it is recommended to undergo a routine vaginal discharge test to determine the specific type of vaginal infection for symptomatic treatment. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Avoid scratching, hot water washing, and the use of soap. When infected, use potassium permanganate solution for sitz baths. Underwear should be breathable and loose-fitting. Avoid alcohol and spicy or allergenic foods. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
