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

Patient's question:

Because I had vaginitis before, and in the recent days, after a careful examination, it was said that I was pregnant. However, I don't know if I can take medication with vaginitis while pregnant. Because the doctor just gave me a lot of medication for treating vaginitis, and I haven't used it yet. I'm also afraid of delaying the condition, and it makes me sad, as it might affect the child.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if you have vaginitis, it is necessary to receive timely treatment, 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. You can go to the hospital for a re-examination of your vaginal discharge routine, and then decide with the doctor's guidance whether to avoid medication that could interfere with the baby's treatment. It is generally recommended 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 at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
