How should medication be used for vaginal infections during lactation?

Patient's question:

Diagnosed with candidal vaginitis, medication was taken for four days. Due to concerns about menstruation, medication insertion was stopped. Continued use of Ke Yang Shu wash solution for cleaning for one week after menstruation. On the 14th day after menstruation, itching persisted, and medication was continued. After 10 days of medication, menstruation occurred again. On the third day after menstruation, a follow-up visit was made.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, Daqining suppository is a vaginal medication, and sodium bicarbonate powder is used for vaginal irrigation. Both are topical medications and will not have any impact on the baby for the treatment of candidal vaginitis. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment, and it is best for both partners to be treated together to effectively prevent recurrence. Daily hygiene should be maintained, and underwear should be changed frequently. Sexual activity should be avoided during the treatment period.
