Patient's question:
It has already started to develop a fungal vaginal infection, and I have been using suppositories continuously. Whenever I stop taking the medication, the symptoms flare up again. There is itching, swelling, and pain in the external genitalia, along with excessive yellow discharge. Therefore, I have been using liquid washes and suppositories. Up to now, I have been pregnant for six months, but the symptoms are still not stable. Now, I am using a combination of traditional Chinese medicine liquid washes, but I feel the effect is not very good (after using the medication at night, there is some liquid discharge, making the external genitalia damp and causing more discomfort).Doctor's answer:
Don't worry too much. It's very normal to get a fungal vaginal infection during pregnancy. Don't be anxious. This is normal. Pay attention to what you should be careful about. Don't use medicine from outside pharmacies. Hospitals have medicine specifically for pregnant women to treat fungal infections. This issue won't affect the baby. Just follow the doctor's advice regarding medication. Especially during the medication application process, don't insert it too deep. In fact, having a vaginal infection isn't scary at all. Patients should believe they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
