Patient's question:
I just found out I'm pregnant for about two and a half months. I felt a bit itchy downstairs and went to buy a gynecological wash liquid. Washing it didn't help at all; instead, the itching got worse. When I went to the hospital for a test, it was diagnosed as Candida vaginitis with two plus signs. How do I treat Candida vaginitis with two plus signs in early pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If you are currently pregnant and perform a routine vaginal discharge test and find candidal vulvovaginitis, this still requires treatment. Additionally, if a woman has vaginal inflammation during pregnancy, topical medication can be used. This condition will not affect the fetal growth and development. Candida is caused by a fungal infection, and generally, many antifungal medications are needed, such as Daktar or clotrimazole, both of which are very effective. For patients, if the vaginal inflammation is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginal inflammation. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
