I just had my Pap smear results back. There were no CIN issues, but they did find Trichomonas. The doctor mentioned they updated the findings from normal flora to trichomoniasis, which felt a bit odd to me—I'm hoping there wasn't some mix-up in the lab... Anyway, since I’m still nursing occasionally (my little one is 10 months old), my OBGYN prescribed only Medazol vaginal suppositories for me and tablets for my partner. She assured me that very little would pass through my milk, so I shouldn't worry. Even so, I'm still feeling anxious about whether it's safe... Stopping breastfeeding entirely for just ten days feels too extreme, so I was considering nursing only at night before using the suppository, then pumping and discarding the milk the following day. I'm not sure if that's a viable plan or if I should just stop nursing altogether.
I've never dealt with this specific infection before.
One more thing: I wasn't prescribed any probiotics. I've been reading that Medazol can trigger yeast infections... Is it okay for me to take an over-the-counter supplement on my own during or after the treatment?
