Can you use bitter ginseng gel while breastfeeding?

Bitter ginseng gel can be used during breastfeeding. Bitter ginseng gel is a proprietary Chinese medicine, and it is a topical drug, which will not be absorbed into breast milk through blood and cause adverse effects on baby breastfeeding after use. Bitter ginseng gel has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and can be used for chronic gynecological inflammation such as cervical erosion, leucorrhea, trichomoniasis and mycotic vaginitis. Although the side effects of bitter ginseng gel are relatively small and women can use it while breastfeeding, it is important to go to a hospital and see a doctor for a gynecological examination and routine leucorrhoea examination to clarify the type of vaginitis before using the medication. If you use bitter ginseng gel for vaginal application, you should follow the course of treatment and stop using it for more than 3 days after the course of treatment, and go to the hospital for routine leucorrhoea examination to understand the treatment of vaginitis. In general, you should pay attention to keep your vulva clean and hygienic, and forbid spicy and stimulating food during breastfeeding.
