Patient's question:
After that, there was something thick like mucus. When I went to the hospital, they said it was vaginitis. At the time, I didn't have a history of cohabitation and didn't feel anything, so I didn't take any medication. But now, two months after giving birth, I feel pain during cohabitation—is it due to vaginitis?Medical history and effectiveness of previous treatment:
I have never been treated for this before.
What kind of help I need:
If I take medication, what effect will it have on breastfeeding?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems you have vaginitis. Norfloxacin capsules are oral medications, not vaginal medications, and taking them can affect breast milk. It is recommended that you use some liquid to clean the vagina and then use topical medications like vaginal suppositories to avoid taking oral medications. According to your description, Norfloxacin capsules are oral preparations, and only oral medication can be effective in treating the condition. They are not suitable for vaginal use, so it is recommended to use them as per the instructions. Norfloxacin capsules are generally used to treat urinary tract infections, and they only become effective when taken orally.
