Patient's question:
I have candidiasis vaginitis and have been taking medication for it. However, I suddenly became pregnant and cannot have the baby. Can I have an abortion with candidiasis vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
When undergoing an induced abortion procedure, it is not possible to have acute vaginitis. This applies not only to induced abortion but to all uterine cavity operations as well. It is necessary to treat acute inflammation before performing uterine cavity operations. Therefore, if you currently have candidal vaginitis, you cannot have an induced abortion procedure. It is recommended to first treat the candidal vaginitis, and only then consider the induced abortion procedure, as otherwise it may lead to downward infection of inflammation. For the patient, if the vaginitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication. Otherwise, it may cause the vaginitis to recur. In addition, the patient should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. Thank you.
