Patient's question:
My best friend has been pregnant for three months. Every month, she goes to the hospital for regular and thorough check-ups. However, yesterday during her check-up, the doctor discovered she had candidiasis (yeast infection). Will this treatment affect the baby's growth and development? What should she do if she discovers candidiasis after becoming pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have developed candidiasis of the vagina. You must be experiencing itching in the external genitalia and an increase in vaginal discharge. It is recommended to use a liquid to clean the external genitalia and apply miconazole vaginal suppositories for treatment. This will not affect the child, as medication can be used during pregnancy without harming you or the fetus. It is advised to maintain cleanliness in the external genitalia, avoid unsafe sexual practices, and prevent moisture. Wear loose underwear as well.Additionally, for patients with vaginitis during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
Thank you.
