Can pregnant women use medication for vaginal itching? Will it affect the fetus?

Patient's question:

I am four months pregnant. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the fetus is developing and growing well. Recently, I have been experiencing vaginal itching and pain. The doctor asked if it is possible to use medication for vaginal itching during pregnancy and whether it will interfere with the fetus. I am worried that it might be harmful to the fetus, so I am seeking advice from the doctor.

Doctor's answer:

If there is vaginal itching, it is mainly caused by vaginitis. During pregnancy, it is generally not recommended to use medication blindly to avoid interfering with the fetus. Daily, it is important to pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene and changing underwear frequently. It is recommended to use Jie'eryin to relieve the symptoms of itching and discomfort. When necessary, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test to check the cause of the infection and treat the vaginal itching accordingly. In addition to active treatment, patients should also pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you!
