Patient's question:
My sister has vaginitis, but she is already two months pregnant. How should she treat candidal vaginitis during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if a thorough examination after conception reveals a fungal vaginal infection, the diagnosis is based on specific symptoms such as external genital itching, redness, swelling, and pain, as well as the appearance of cottage cheese-like discharge. Treatment options include sodium bicarbonate rinses or the use of clotrimazole washes. In necessary cases, vaginal suppositories or creams such as nystatin or clotrimazole gel can be administered. However, the most ideal approach is to wait for three months. There are many treatment methods for vaginal infections, but since each patient's condition is different, the diagnostic approach may vary. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to ensure appropriate treatment.
