Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for seven months, and my gynecological health hasn't been great. Every day, I have yellow discharge. The hospital diagnosed me with vaginitis and prescribed a topical medication specifically for pregnant women. After using it for a few days, the symptoms improved, but they returned once I stopped taking it. Can I use it consistently? Will it affect the fetus? Will vaginitis affect a normal delivery? Now at seven months, my calves have been twitching at night lately. What should I do? What kind of help do I need: I hope to treat my gynecological condition effectively. I don't want it to affect the fetus's growth and development.Doctor's answer:
Vaginitis is a common gynecological condition, and incomplete treatment can easily lead to recurrence. Your situation may be due to the medication duration being too short, causing repeated episodes. At night, you often experience muscle cramps in your calves, which could be caused by cold exposure or calcium deficiency.Recommendations:
Local vaginal medication will not affect the fetus, as it does not absorb into the bloodstream and thus poses no risk to the baby. It is recommended that you focus on treatment and stop medication three days after symptoms subside.
It is also advised to get a blood test to check for calcium deficiency. If detected, appropriate calcium supplementation should be considered. Please note that this is not a face-to-face consultation, and the advice is for reference only.
