Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, I feel itchy outside my vulva. About half a month ago, I went to the hospital for a vaginal discharge test. The doctor said it was a minor issue and prescribed two bottles of liquid for washing. I've finished using the liquid, but it seems like it hasn't fully healed. There are small, tiny particles outside my vulva, and it's very itchy. Recently, I had a detailed Down syndrome test and blood tests for several items, and everything was normal. I also had a urine test, but no inflammation was found. But it's really itchy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the medical history, vaginal infection is considered, with a high possibility of fungal infection. During pregnancy, due to changes in vaginal pH, there is an increased risk of recurrent fungal vaginal infection. The main clinical manifestations are vaginal itching and curd-like discharge. It is recommended to perform a vaginal discharge test. If it indicates fungal infection, sodium bicarbonate solution and Kaninjin vaginal suppositories can be used for treatment. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with vulvar itching should also pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring adequate nutrition in their daily lives.
