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 caused by recurrent attacks or the failure to heal, leading to vaginitis. During pregnancy, vaginitis may even require medication treatment. The most common type of vaginitis during pregnancy is caused by fungal infections. Baking soda water can be used to rinse the external genital area, but it is not recommended to rinse the deeper part of the vagina to prevent potential signs of miscarriage. During the second trimester of pregnancy, clotrimazole can be used for treatment. For patients, if the condition of vaginitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
