Patient's question:
Can a woman with vaginitis have an abortion with medication? My friend has vaginitis, and now she's pregnant and needs to have an abortion. The doctor said she needs to treat her vaginitis first before she can have an abortion, but the child is already 2 months old. What should she do? Please help!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Yes, it is necessary to treat vaginitis before undergoing an abortion. If vaginitis is not treated before the surgery, it can easily lead to bacterial ascent and infection, causing postoperative infections such as endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and adnexitis. The medication should still be taken for a few more days after the surgery to consolidate the therapeutic effect and also to prevent infection. Abstinence from sexual activity for one month after the surgery is recommended. I hope my answer is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
