What should I do if I get a vaginal infection during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I've been pregnant for a month, and I have vaginitis, which is quite itchy. I've been sitting in a bath with water decocted from mugwort leaves for over ten minutes. Will it have any effect?

Doctor's answer:

The confirmed condition is pelvic inflammatory disease, and it can be treated with levofloxacin or metronidazole. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited to prevent cross-infection and recurrent symptoms. In daily diet, avoid spicy, greasy, and cold foods. Maintain cleanliness and dryness in the perineal area at all times to prevent unclean sexual practices and cold exposure. In addition to medication for pelvic inflammatory disease, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as a light diet and avoiding spicy foods. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for diagnosis to achieve good treatment outcomes.
