What is the reason for excessive vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain during breastfeeding?

Many women will experience many adverse reactions in their bodies during the breastfeeding period. For example, abdominal distension is a very common condition. This condition is mostly caused by the growing size of the baby in the woman's belly, but it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by some diseases. Therefore, people need to pay special attention to this situation. The following is a detailed introduction to what causes abdominal distension during breastfeeding.

If a woman experiences abdominal distension during breastfeeding, it is most likely caused by endocrine disorders. If there is pain or the distension is severe, she should go to the hospital for a check-up. She should pay more attention to care and diet, do not eat too much, and do not eat greasy food, so as to prevent the feeling of distension.

If there is an increase in vaginal discharge and lower abdominal pain during breastfeeding, it is generally considered that there is a high possibility of pelvic inflammation. If pelvic inflammation occurs during lactation, this kind of lower abdominal distension will occur. It can usually be clearly diagnosed through color ultrasound, which can show a large amount of fluid accumulation in the pelvis, causing this kind of lower abdominal pain. In severe cases, there will be a feeling of anal distension. So if you are breastfeeding and the pain is particularly severe, you can take some medicine during the acute phase of inflammation. Penicillin and cephalosporin can be used during breastfeeding and will not affect breastfeeding. The lower abdominal pain is not very obvious and the fluid accumulation is not much. Generally, physical therapy and electrotherapy can promote the absorption of pelvic fluid and relieve the lower abdominal pain. If there is a lot of vaginal discharge, you can wash it with clean water. If washing with clean water does not relieve the problem, you can go to the hospital to do a secretion test to see what kind of bacteria is infecting you and then provide symptomatic treatment. There are also corresponding medicines for symptomatic treatment during breastfeeding.

How to treat pelvic inflammatory disease

Physical therapy: Benign warm stimulation can promote local blood circulation in the pelvic cavity. Improve the nutritional status of tissues and enhance metabolism to facilitate the absorption and disappearance of inflammation. Commonly used ones are shortwave, ultrashort wave, iontophoresis (various drugs such as penicillin, streptomycin, etc. can be added), wax therapy, etc.

Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is suitable for patients with lumps such as hydrosalpinx or tubo-ovarian cysts; surgical treatment is also suitable for patients with small infection foci and repeated inflammation. The principle of surgery is complete cure to avoid recurrence of residual lesions. Unilateral oophorectomy or radical hysterectomy plus bilateral oophorectomy is performed. For young women, ovarian function should be preserved as much as possible. The effect of single therapy for chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is poor, and comprehensive treatment is appropriate.

Treatment with Chinese medicine: Pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly of damp-heat type, and the treatment principle is mainly to clear away heat, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
