Patient's question:
Abnormal discharge is constantly increasing, Doctor. I am six and a half months pregnant, and my discharge has been constantly increasing. It's also very itchy. The discharge is milky white. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition is mostly likely a case of vaginitis, as different types of vaginitis require different medications. It is important to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of your vaginal discharge and confirm which type of bacterial infection you have before starting symptomatic treatment. In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, you can take oral medication and use vaginal medication under the guidance of a doctor. While treating the external genitalia, it is advisable to start treatment before delivery to prevent the fetus from being infected as it passes through the birth canal. All underwear should be thoroughly disinfected, and both partners should be treated to prevent cross-infection. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Abnormal vaginal discharge is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, it is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. We wish female patients a speedy recovery.
