Patient's question:
I am 28 years old and currently 6 weeks pregnant. After using the toilet, I feel itchy in my vagina. Because I was worried about an accident, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The report said I have chronic vaginitis. Doctor, how can chronic vaginitis be treated to return to normal?Doctor's answer:
Chronic vaginitis is actually vaginitis that recurs repeatedly or leads to non-healing, and during pregnancy, vaginitis may even require medication treatment. The most common type of vaginitis during pregnancy is caused by fungal infections, and baking soda water can be used to rinse the external genitalia. It is not recommended to rinse the deep vaginal area to prevent signs of miscarriage. During the second trimester of pregnancy, clotrimazole can be used for treatment. For patients, if the vaginitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
