For women who give birth vaginally, the wound and discharge from the uterus and vagina make them susceptible to infection and have to use medication. In this case, many women worry about how long after giving birth, they can order gynecological drugs?
1. In which case it is necessary to order gynecological drugs?
Gynecological suppositories also known as vaginal tablets or vaginal suppositories. The drug is usually produced in solid, oval or elongated form and is inserted into the vagina, then dissolved, has a local effect and is absorbed into the bloodstream in small amounts. Therefore, gynecological suppositories have become a popular choice in the treatment of gynecological inflammatory diseases such as yeast infections.
Vaginal tablets may contain antifungal, anti-inflammatory or sex hormone active ingredients commonly used in the treatment of vaginal infections or hormonal disorders during the perimenopause.
Vaginitis is usually caused by a yeast infection (candidiasis). According to obstetricians and gynecologists, up to 3 out of 4 women have vaginal yeast infections and more than 5% of these women are at risk of repeated infections. In other words, almost every woman is at risk of getting a vaginal yeast infection at least once in her life.
To treat vaginal yeast infections, gynecologists will examine, diagnose and prescribe treatment appropriate to your infection, health and needs. Usually, to limit the side effects of systemic antifungal drugs, doctors often prescribe vaginal suppositories to control yeast infections. The course of treatment is usually 7 days to ensure that the yeast can be completely eradicated and to avoid recurrence of the disease.

2. How long after giving birth can gynecological drugs be placed?
Gynecological suppositories usually have only local effects, are chosen to be used in the treatment of vaginitis in pregnant women, so it is quite safe.
However, to ensure and rest assured, vaginal infections after childbirth should be examined and prescribed medication by an obstetrician-gynecologist. At the same time, you need to clearly inform your health status and whether you are breastfeeding so that the doctor can choose the most appropriate treatment method.
Vaginal drugs after childbirth usually have the main ingredient is Clotrimazole with local effects and little effect on breast milk due to low diffusion into the blood.
Gynecological suppositories for topical action are very poorly absorbed into breast milk. However, the fact that the drug is very poorly absorbed does not mean that it does not pass into the bloodstream into breast milk, so this form of medicine should only be used when absolutely necessary.
To be safe, women after giving birth with gynecological diseases should go to the doctor to check, determine the cause of the disease and prescribe and advise on the safe use of drugs.
In short, should you put gynecological medicine after giving birth? The answer is yes if it is a medication prescribed by your doctor to treat your medical condition. You need to follow the instructions of the specialist doctor. Absolutely do not arbitrarily buy gynecological suppositories for treatment without a doctor's prescription.
