Patient's question:
How to deal with urinary tract infections during postpartum period. Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination, always feeling the need to go to the bathroom, and sometimes a bit of pain when urinating. It's likely a urinary tract infection. Are there any medications that can be used? Are there any that don't interfere with diaper changes? I don't want to disrupt the baby.Doctor's answer:
When you get sick, timely treatment is usually necessary, and urinary tract infections are no exception. Urinary tract infections are quite common during the postpartum period. If symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain in the bladder reappear, antibiotics should be used for treatment. Generally, the medication with the least interference on the baby's breastfeeding is preferred, so antibiotics like amoxicillin and potassium penicillin V are commonly used. However, they must be taken under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and it is important to drink plenty of water and urinate frequently.
