Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for three months. Recently, I've been experiencing itching in my lower abdomen, so I went to the gynecology department of the hospital for a check-up. It was diagnosed as a gynecological disease, but medication is not allowed during pregnancy. Will my condition affect the child? What should I do if I have a gynecological disease during pregnancy? Can it be treated? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women are prone to developing candidal vulvovaginitis due to fluctuations in their hormone levels. Fungal infections can cause vaginal itching, persistent discharge, and if left untreated, they can bring significant discomfort to the pregnant woman's life. In the late stages of pregnancy, fungi can transmit and lead to premature rupture of membranes, resulting in preterm labor. They can also be transmitted to newborns during vaginal delivery. During pregnancy, treatment can be administered through vaginal medications. In addition to treating gynecological conditions, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
