Does candidal vaginitis affect medical abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I want to go to the hospital to have a medication abortion. But I have a fungal vaginal infection myself, and I've taken medication for two weeks, but it hasn't been fully cured yet. I want to ask the doctor if the fungal vaginal infection will affect the medication abortion?

Doctor's answer:

If the candidal vaginitis is severe, with a significant amount of cottage cheese-like discharge. And if the itching is severe, it is not advisable to immediately undergo medication-induced abortion. If the symptoms are not severe, like your situation, having taken medication for two cycles, it should be under control and medication-induced abortion should be possible. After the abortion, pay attention to the amount and duration of bleeding. After the abortion, a follow-up MRI should be conducted to check if the abortion was complete and to assess any potential infections.
