Patient's question:
During my pregnancy, due to a weakened immune system, I contracted candidal vulvovaginitis. Recently, my vaginal infection has flared up again, causing intense itching in my lower abdomen every day, along with some discharge. After visiting the hospital, the doctor recommended laser treatment. Therefore, I would like to consult the experts here: is laser treatment effective for vaginal infections?Doctor's answer:
If there is vaginitis during pregnancy, it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene and timely medication. Laser treatment for vaginitis has a certain effect, but physical therapy is generally best avoided during pregnancy to prevent irritation from affecting the baby's health. It is recommended that you consult a doctor to decide on some topical medications to alleviate symptoms, and use medications that do not affect the baby as directed by the doctor. There are several treatment methods for vaginitis, but since the condition of each patient is different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms are noticed.
