Patient's question:
A friend of my sister, who is about three months pregnant, has been experiencing several issues. First, she frequently urinated blood while using the restroom and was hospitalized for two weeks to protect the pregnancy. Not long after coming home, she was diagnosed with candidal vulvovaginitis. What should she do when pregnant and suffering from candidal vulvovaginitis?Doctor's answer:
If a pregnant woman has a fungal vaginal infection, she will also need to undergo medication treatment through vaginal suppositories. Otherwise, it may potentially cause adverse effects on the baby. It is advisable to choose medications with relatively smaller side effects for suppository treatment, considering that the interference on the fetus is not significant.During treatment, it is recommended to drink more warm water, eat less sweet food, and avoid greasy foods. Change underwear frequently, wash underwear with boiling water, and expose them to sunlight for drying. Regular follow-up tests are necessary.
For severe cases of vaginal infection, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive results. The above suggestions are for reference only.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Thank you.
