Doctor's answer:

The properties of traditional Chinese medicine are relatively mild and have fewer side effects, but it is best not to take them during breastfeeding to avoid interfering with the baby's treatment for trichomoniasis. It is recommended to use a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to rinse the vagina, and then insert metronidazole into the vagina for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, hygiene should be paid close attention to, and spicy foods should be eaten less. If the condition does not improve after a period of time, it is recommended to seek treatment in a professional hospital.
