Patient's question:
Now it has been 12 days postpartum, but the lochia has not yet subsided, and there is also vaginal itching, with the wound sometimes itchy and sometimes painful.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description and symptoms, it is due to postpartum physical weakness and decreased immunity, prolonged bleeding leading to vaginal infection, which has resulted in symptoms of vaginitis.Advice:
For your condition, if the bleeding is not heavy, it is recommended that you clean the external genital area before going to bed each night and then apply medication locally to the vagina, such as Baofukang suppositories. This has no impact on breastfeeding. If there is redness or swelling in the wound, you can apply Bactroban ointment externally. It is advised to keep the external genital area clean and dry, and frequently boil your underwear in hot water.
