Patient's question:
I am in the late stage of pregnancy and have a vaginal infection. The doctor prescribed nystatin tablets and told me to use both medications simultaneously. The dosage is 3 tablets of nystatin and 2 suppositories, to be used for 8 days, then stop for a week, and then continue for another 8 days. I am worried that this treatment method may be dangerous for the child. Could you please tell me if this is okay?Doctor's answer:
Now it is already in the late stage of pregnancy, and the various organs of the fetus have formed early in pregnancy, so medication at this stage is basically unlikely to cause fetal malformation again. Moreover, vaginal medication only has a local effect in the vagina and rarely enters the bloodstream, so vaginal medication will not affect the fetus.In daily life, it is recommended to wash underwear, towels, and bed sheets with hot water or expose them to sunlight for sterilization. In terms of diet, it is best to stick to light and simple foods, avoiding spicy, sour, and other irritating foods.
2. Maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia at all times, change underwear frequently, and cleanse the external genitalia. In addition, patients should also maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
