Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for over 50 days. Recently, I have had a small amount of vaginal bleeding, and a hospital examination revealed a leukorrhea cleanliness of 3. The doctor said I have an infection and prescribed Fuyan Xiao capsules and some Western medicine. Additionally, he prescribed Qing Shu Granules (I have had constipation since giving birth). Since I have been breastfeeding, the doctor said it's okay, but I am still worried about potential side effects of these medications on the baby. Now, I don't know what to do. Thank you all for your suggestions!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello, vaginitis is a manifestation of the imbalance in the vaginal microbial flora. Therefore, treating vaginitis by simply killing vaginal microorganisms is not a scientific approach. Especially some broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs are "indiscriminate," killing not only pathogenic microorganisms but also the dominant flora (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium). During medication, you may feel some relief, but once the medication is stopped, other miscellaneous bacteria quickly proliferate again, causing the inflammation to recur alternately. This is currently a misconception and vicious cycle in the treatment of vaginitis.For vaginal medication, use some medications as prescribed after undergoing a medical examination and following the doctor's advice. It is recommended to use the Konfu Anti-inflammatory (Kuiflaxin). The Konfu Anti-inflammatory has an ideal therapeutic effect on gynecological inflammation such as pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, cervical inflammation, and vaginitis. At the same time, the Konfu's reproductive tract administration method (rectal) improves and protects the vaginal environment, fundamentally solving the problem of persistent and recurrent gynecological inflammation.
