Does vaginitis lasting over a year affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Last summer, when it was very hot, I went to the beach to play. When I came home, I felt itchy down there, as if there were bugs crawling. There was a lot of discharge with a bad odor, and sometimes it would burn and hurt. Sometimes it would also hurt during intimacy with my husband. Hello, I have vaginitis for over a year. How does it interfere with pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! If vaginitis is mild, it doesn't interfere much with pregnancy. If vaginitis becomes severe, it can disrupt the acidic and alkaline balance in the vagina, which is favorable for the fusion of sperm and eggs, making it difficult to conceive. Don't be afraid of vaginitis; as long as you receive symptomatic treatment in the hospital, it will definitely improve. I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up. During the acute phase of vaginitis, it is best not to have sexual intercourse. After treatment is complete, you can then try to conceive to avoid another miscarriage or fetal intrauterine infection. In addition to taking medication to treat vaginitis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for treatment.
