Can you still take medication if you are pregnant with vaginitis?

Patient's question:

Because I had vaginitis before, and recently a thorough check-up revealed that I'm pregnant. However, I don't know if I can take medication for vaginitis while pregnant. The doctor just prescribed a lot of medication for treating vaginitis, and I haven't used any yet. I'm worried about delaying the condition, and it's hard for me, as it might affect the child.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if there is vaginitis, timely treatment is necessary, but medication must be used with caution. Medications taken before pregnancy should be avoided during pregnancy to prevent any impact on the baby's health. It is recommended to have a re-examination of leukorrhea routine at the hospital and consult a doctor to decide on non-interfering medication for the baby. Generally, it is advisable to opt for topical liquid treatment.
In addition to treating vaginitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
