Hello,
With the question "Can I put medicine after cesarean delivery? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Vaginitis is the most common disease in postpartum women. Typical symptoms are profuse and foul-smelling discharge. Upon examination, the vaginal mucosa will be red and swollen. Patients may experience itching, discomfort, and burning pain during sex. Vaginitis if not treated early can lead to many other dangerous gynecological diseases.
The treatment of vaginitis, in addition to cleaning the private area, avoiding moisture, also needs to be treated with vaginal medication. Vaginal suppositories usually have a local effect with little or no effect on lactation. You need to see a specialist to get the right treatment for you.
If you still have questions about vaginitis, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
