Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm now in my 20th week of pregnancy. It's been a long time since I had sex with my husband, so last night we had sex without using a condom. This morning when I came down, I noticed that my lower body was itchy. It's also time for my prenatal check-up, so I mentioned it to the doctor. He gave me a thorough examination and found that I have candidiasis vaginitis. So, what methods are used to treat candidiasis vaginitis during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Candidal vulvovaginitis is caused by infection with Candida albicans and is primarily associated with recent poor hygiene and sexual activity. It is recommended to use topical antifungal medications under the guidance of a local doctor, while also paying attention to local hygiene. Avoid extreme cold, spicy, and irritating foods, as well as sexual activity during treatment. Maintain local dryness and cleanliness, and change underwear frequently. Wash and boil the underwear, then expose it to sunlight for drying! There are several treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure appropriate treatment.
