Patient's question:
Hello, I have a fungal vaginal infection. I am currently two months pregnant, and the discharge has a bad odor. What should I do now? Do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
If there is an odor in the vagina, it could be due to poor external genital hygiene or a lack of vaginal self-cleaning function. It is necessary to have a thorough examination of vaginal discharge at the hospital and then receive targeted medication treatment. It is recommended to pay attention to external genital hygiene, wear loose and breathable cotton underwear, and avoid tight pants. Change underwear frequently to keep the external genital area dry and breathable. Regularly check the fetal growth and development and the health status of the pregnant woman at the hospital to see if everything is normal. The daily treatment for patients with vaginitis mainly involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
