Patient's question:
I am four months pregnant. During the three-month check-up, the gynecological examination revealed that I had vaginitis, which explains why I always felt a bit itchy down there. But recently, the itching has become extremely severe, and I can't stop scratching all day, making it difficult for me to work. What should I do about vaginitis itching during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If a woman gets a vaginal infection during pregnancy, she needs to pay attention to hygiene and use medication promptly. Treating vaginal infections generally does not affect the fetus, but it may cause discomfort to the pregnant woman again. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination of cervical mucus routine tests to determine the medication that does not affect the fetus. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene during treatment. It is essential to change underwear and pants frequently during the treatment period, and avoid spicy foods. For patients, if the vaginal infection is severe, they should receive symptomatic treatment immediately and use appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the vaginal infection. In addition, patients should also pay attention to their diet and psychological care. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
