How to deal with vaginal itching at twelve weeks of pregnancy

Patient's question:

At 12 weeks pregnant, I have vaginal itching and a discharge that is like small clumps. Wiping with warm water only provides temporary relief. Can I use Funiangjie (a brand name for feminine hygiene wipes) to clean?

Doctor's answer:

At 12 weeks pregnant, vaginal itching has reappeared, with discharge resembling small particles. It is relieved after washing with warm water. Your issue is a fungal vaginal infection, and only antifungal suppositories can eliminate the discomfort. Apart from cleaning agents, they are available at pharmacies. Do not take oral medications. For patients, if the vaginal itching is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and proper medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of vaginal itching. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
