How should a pregnant woman treat candidal vulvovaginitis?

Patient's question:

The other day, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination of my vaginal discharge and was diagnosed with a fungal vaginal infection. I told the doctor I was afraid of getting pregnant and didn't want to take medication casually. After that, the doctor prescribed many carbonate tablets for me to take home and wash with, but it didn't work and I still had severe itching. How should the expert treat it?

Doctor's answer:

Within the first 12 weeks of early pregnancy, you can use baking soda or Jie'eryin to rinse the external genitalia and vagina. At the same time, change your underwear daily and wash and sterilize them along with towels and basins. After 12 weeks of early pregnancy, you can use suppositories for treatment while rinsing. After 35 weeks of early pregnancy, to prevent intrauterine infection, vaginal procedures should not be performed. For severe cases of vaginitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Do not switch to new medications at will, otherwise the therapeutic effect may be counterproductive.
