Patient's question:
Suffering from bacterial vaginosis for about a year, the main symptom is always having white, viscous discharge in the vagina, normal leukorrhea, and no other symptoms. Now I'm about one month pregnant, will it affect the fetus? Can I still treat the vaginosis during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, generally, treatment should not be administered in the first three months of pregnancy. If the dilation is severe, medication can be used for treatment after the third month of pregnancy, and it will never cause infection to the fetus. If the vaginal inflammation is mild and there is no significant discomfort, it does not significantly interfere with the fetus. It is important to maintain regular prenatal check-ups, keep the external genital area clean and dry, and avoid scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Change underwear frequently, clean them with warm water, and never wash them with other clothes to prevent cross-infection. In addition, during the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, in addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of bacterial vaginosis.
