I go for my 1 month check up on tuesday July 1st. I'm wondering if their is a topical ointment that would relieve the soreness that Iam experiencing?
Brief Answer:
Simple Analgesics, topical anti inflammatory drug
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the update,
It is important as you have already planned to get a proper review from your doctor. While waiting, simple pain killers like Acetaminophen could be useful.
Topical anti inflammatory drugs can be used, but taking caution not to insert it into the vagina. Topical Diclofenac ointment on this area could be useful. This is an over the counter drug in some countries.
The simple analgesic (Acetaminophen) and topical non steroidal anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac ointment should sufficient.
Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
