Patient's question:
My best friend has been pregnant for three months. Every month, she goes to the hospital for regular thorough check-ups. However, yesterday during her check-up, the doctor discovered she had candidiasis (yeast infection). Will this treatment affect the baby's growth and development? What should she do if she finds candidiasis after becoming pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have developed candidal vulvovaginitis. You must be experiencing vulvar itching and an increase in discharge. It is recommended to use a wash to clean the vulva and apply miconazole vaginal suppositories for treatment. This will not affect the child, as medication is safe during pregnancy and will not harm you or the fetus. It is advised to maintain vulvar cleanliness, avoid unsafe sexual practices, and prevent moisture. Wear loose underwear as well.Additionally, for patients with vaginitis during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. Thank you.
