Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. How do I deal with vulvar itching at three months of pregnancy? I started feeling vulvar itching a few days ago. At first, it wasn't that severe—just occasional itching, but now it's becoming more frequent. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of vaginitis, after pregnancy, hormonal changes in the body and alterations in daily dietary structure can increase the likelihood of recurrent vaginitis. It is recommended to undergo routine gynecological examinations and tests for vaginal secretions. Based on the examination results, medication can be administered for local insertion treatment. Commonly considered options include using nitrofurantoin tablets for local insertion, which is safe for the baby. Drinking plenty of warm water and consuming fresh vegetables is also beneficial. In fact, having external genital itching is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as treatment is initiated promptly in the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
