Patient's question:
I have a fungal vaginal infection and am undergoing treatment. If I accidentally get pregnant, can I keep the child? My period arrived on September 27th, but it should have been around October 22nd, as I always have it 5 days earlier. However, it's already the 31st and I haven't gotten my period yet. I've also been taking medication this month, which might have interfered with it. The medications I used this month are Baofukang, Huangtengsu soft capsules, Clotrimazole vaginal tablets, and Keliangshu wash. I want to ask if if I get pregnant, can I keep the child?Doctor's answer:
If you develop candidal vulvovaginitis during pregnancy, local medication can be administered, which is generally not likely to interfere with fetal development. It is recommended that you use nystatin tablets and baking soda water to perform vaginal irrigation, which can be quite effective, and it will not interfere with the fetus. In fact, having a vaginal infection is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
