Patient's question:
I've had my baby for more than five months, and I went to the hospital for a postpartum check-up at 42 days. There was a very small amount of intrauterine effusion, and there was inflammation in the vagina. The doctor prescribed medication and advised me to wait until the discharge was completely cleared before taking it. I haven't gone for the check-up yet, and I don't have any symptoms. Can I take the medication?Doctor's answer:
According to the described situation, if there are no abnormal secretions in the vagina now, medication can be used to treat vaginitis. If the pelvic effusion is not completely drained, there may still be skin breakdown, in which case anti-inflammatory and hormone drugs can be taken for symptomatic treatment. If there are masses, surgical treatment may be necessary. During vaginal medication, it is important to avoid sexual intercourse to prevent transmission, and maintain hygiene by washing frequently to keep the area clean and fresh.
